A Tennessee woman who has been growing her hair for more than 33 years has received top honors for her 5-foot Longueuil cut, which earned her a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
“It’s such a beautiful day, it’s time for a motorcycle ride. Except that if we have this [coupe] Because it’s the longest mullet in the world, you have to make a little adjustment,” said American Tami Manis, 58, in a video released by Guinness World Records (GWR) on THURSDAY, as she tucked her long braided hair into her jeans hatched.
In February 1990, the woman visited a hair salon for the very last time before growing out her mullet cut, better known in Quebec as the “Longueuil cut” and popularized by various celebrities such as actor Patrick Swayze and musician Billy Ray Cyrus was made, The Guardian reported on Friday.
For the 58-year-old nurse from Knoxville, it was the music video for the group Til Tuesday’s 1985 song “Voices Carry” that inspired her to get the haircut.
“The girl had a rat tail. And I really wanted one too,” said the woman, who hasn’t changed her style since then, so people she met more than 20 years ago would still recognize her thanks to her cut.
Today, his Longueuil cut measures 5 feet 8 inches, which is 172.7 cm, which earned him the Guinness World Record for the longest mullet.
“Owning the longest mullet in the world has its drawbacks. I usually wear it braided since my hair is longer than my height. I use absorbent paper to dry it, otherwise it would stay damp most of the time. It’s braided once a week,” she told GWR.
Even if the Longueuil cut has regained popularity during the pandemic after somewhat losing its titles of nobility, the woman would have indicated that she cares little for the reputation of the cut, which in any case she will continue to wear proudly.
