World's Longest Hair?
Bad Friggin' Hair ^ | 1/31/2009 | Dr. Dave

Tran Van Hay's hair is sooooooo long, he curls it up and wraps a turban around his head. And this ain't your Osama turban. The Vietnamese man's hair is said to be a world record for men, at 6.3 m (20 ft 7 in)...(he's applied with the Guinness folks, but the length hasn't been verified).

Some and maybe many Vietnamese females grow prodigious amounts of hair. A 16 year old girl in my parish once cut all her hair off and a year later it was all the way down her back. When the little girls(or their mothers) decide it is time to let the hair grow out it is only a few months until they have that beautiful lo-o-o-ong hair. One mama I mentioned this characteristic to said that’s why Vietnamese women are so short, so much body resources go into growing hair. Actually, the kids who grow up in America are mostly a lot taller than their parents. I have been a member of a Vietnamese parish for 25 years and 10 years ago realized that some of the teenage girls could see eye to eye with me (5’10”) . Now a couple of the girls are taller than me.

Someone is going to need a chain saw to cut that nasty hair.

I guess it’s hair, but I have no clue as to what you’d have to do to it/put in it for it to get that bad. It’s disgusting and it has to stink.

It should be in a vacuum pack (Space Bag) to curtail the aroma.

Yes, I could have gone the rest of my life without seeing that picture and it would have been just fine with me. Reminds me of the time somebody on FR mentioned “Felching Technology” and I made the mistake of googling it cause I had no idea...

Higher protein diet. Limit protein intake and you'll limit growth. Of all the refugee families from Southeast Asia I've known, the younger brothers almost always outgrow the older brothers. Read Robert Fogel's Nobel Lecture for some interesting historical perspective on diet and body size. He spoke in one of my graduate classes in nutrition. Since there were only 5 students in all, it was a pretty good time.

I’ve never heard that term either. I’ll take the lesson you learned and not look it up tho. I’m betting I can make a good guess as to what it refers.

Good call, but I doubt you could ever apprehend to guess the horrid, unnatural, disturbing, reprehensible (a veritable challenge to Sodom and Gomora for supremacy of the horrible)and un-googleable “Felching Technology”. LOL

And the younger generations in Viet Nam are taller than their parents. I noticed in 2003 that Viets were taller than I remembered from the war and that young folks were generally taller than their parents. In 07, only four years later, I saw that the process was continuing and that there was definitely a lot more meat in the diet. They also look progressively healthier. But in 07 I noticed something new, lots of the 5-8 year old children had rotted out teeth. Many families have modernized cooking facilities and the result seems to be a diminution of calcium intake.
