Title: Tami Manis Sets Guinness World Record with 5-Foot-8-Inch Mullet
In an incredible feat of hair growth, Tami Manis of Road Rug Cars has recently been awarded the official Guinness World Record for sporting the longest female mullet in the world. Measuring a staggering 5 feet 8 inches, her mullet has become a distinct feature that has captured the attention and curiosity of many.
To put this achievement into perspective, Manis last trimmed the back of her hair on February 9, 1990. Since then, her mullet has grown continuously, surprising those who encounter her from behind. While she admits that people often don’t realize the true length of her hair until they see it up close, the uniqueness of her style never fails to spark conversation.
Manis’s inspiration for growing a mullet stemmed from Til Tuesday’s iconic music video “Voices Carry” in the 80s. Encouraged by the rebelliousness and individuality emanating from the screen, she decided to embrace the mullet trend. Though she initially cut off her mullet in November 1989, she quickly regretted her decision and resolved to grow it out once again.
Maintaining her record-breaking hair requires dedicated care. While riding her motorbike, Manis braids her mullet and conveniently tucks it into her pocket. She relies on a friend who expertly braids her hair once a week, ensuring it remains manageable. Rather than using traditional methods, Manis opts to wash her hair with paper towels to avoid it staying wet for too long.
The mullet, a hairstyle with a rich history dating back centuries, has found its niche in various cultural contexts. Even Greek poetry refers to this distinctive haircut. For Manis, her mullet serves as an identifier, allowing friends and family to recognize her easily, no matter how much time has passed. It serves as a conversation starter, with admirers often inquiring about her incredible hair journey.
Recently, Manis participated in the 2022 US Mullet Championships where she earned an impressive second place in the “Femullet” division. Her achievement granted her a prize of $300. Buoyed by this success, Manis decided to apply for the Guinness World Record. Recently, she received the much-awaited notification confirming her official record, cementing her place in hairdo history.
As the world marvels at her remarkable accomplishment, Tami Manis continues to rock her extraordinary mullet, setting an example for those who embrace their individuality and defy societal norms. With her Guinness World Record in hand, she looks forward to inspiring others to celebrate and express themselves fearlessly through their own unique styles.
