A six-year-old girl has broken the kids' world record for having the longest hair. Jasmine Bains has locks measuring 1.2 metres in length.
She has never had it cut - leaving her hair running down her back, beyond her knees. Jasmine smashed the record in June this year, according to the Kids World Records website.
Her mum Tina said she had a 'light bulb moment' that lead to little Jasmine's big achievement, Derbyshire Live reports. The previous record holder was a youngster in Canada.
She said: "My 6-year-old daughter has never cut her hair and it goes beyond her knees down her back. So we got talking about long hair one night while getting ready for bed.
"And I said [to Jasmine] there's a person with the world's longest hair and she was so interested. So we Googled it and we were both impressed. Then I had a light bulb moment. Is there a world record for a little girl with the longest hair?"
After a quick Internet search, Tina, from Littleover in Derbyshire, found the website Kids' World Records. Its categories include longest hair for four to six-year-olds.
She said: "I knew instantly my Jasmine's hair was longer. In all excitement, I measured her hair, signed up to the site, clicked beat the record and posted the video off... Jasmine was successful."
To beat the record, hair must be dry when measured. Other unique records on the site include the longest tree pose, the most claps in one minute, the longest paper clip chain and the smallest handwriting.
