A woman who has been growing her hair for 17 years is now a real-life Rapunzel with locks that measure a staggering 6ft 11in long, putting her just one inch away from having 7ft hair.

Rin Kambe, 42, says she often has to tie her hair into a bun to help keep it away from the floor, because at just 5ft 5in herself, she struggles to do daily tasks if her hair is down, as it's over a foot longer than she is.

And the model's impressive locks are even four whole inches longer than lanky football legend Peter Crouch.
