The hair has now grown to nearly 10 inches. In fact, the hair is so long he has to shampoo and comb it.

A model of the British Royal Navy ship HMS Victory made out of beef bones and human hair will go under the hammer today.

The 28in long model, which was made by French prisoners-of-war incarcerated in British jails during the Napoleonic Wars, will go on auction at Bonhams and is expected to fetch up to £30,000 ($60,000).

It was built from left-over beef bones from the prisoners' meals to pay for their upkeep. Bones form the hull while human hair was used for the rigging and paper tissue for the flags.

Other details include anchors, belfry and ship's boats. It is even fitted with pull cords with bone finials for operating the guns.

Barber Henry Coffer has been collecting hair from his barbers for many years. The hair collection has increased daily, weekly, yearly until today.

Henry's hairball weighs around 167 pounds. He'll get an official weight soon and submit it to the Guinness Book of World Records. He read about the world's largest ball of string, called Guinness and asked if they had a record for a ball of hair. No but they said they're interested. They've called back twice.

Henry is the only barber in Charleston. He started out 36 years ago charging $1 and now charges $10. Many of his customers have been with him for years and he has no plans to retire.

Ms. Mau’s hair lies like a python on her shoulders. When she dropped it down, the hair swept the ground. Looking from behind, the hair looks like a small papoose, swinging after each move of the woman.

For the past 17 years, Phung Thi Mau in Chua village, Van Thang commune, Ba Vi district, northern province of Ha Tay, has carried hair of 5kg in weight and more than 1.5m in length.

She has planned to cut it several times but each time she planned to do that, her head began to hurt painfully, like someone tightened a rope around her head.

The odd story about this hair commenced on the night of December 15, 1990 (lunar calendar). That night, she couldn’t sleep well.

In the morning on the next day, she combed her hair normally but it was strange because it was no longer smooth as before. It was very tangled. The more combing, the more tangled the hair was. The comb’s teeth were broken after her try to comb the hair. Ms. Mau used another comb but the situation was the same. She found that her hair was stuck together for a section of around 22cm long. In the morning on the next day, all of her hair was stuck together and she couldn’t disentangle it anymore.

When the hair began to clot, Ms. Mau always heard a crackling sound from her hair, which was sometimes low and sometimes high, depending on her health.

She still washes her hair on her own. However, each time of washing the special hair, Mau needs several hours to struggle with it, with one hour to make it clean and one-two hours to make it dry, using a large electric fan.

Wes Pemberton thinks he may have a world record. He’s submitted a hair on his leg as the world’s longest leg hair. A hair on his calf measures about five inches. The world record is 4.88 inches.

Pemberton says he works on taking care of the hair, to the point of even washing it with conditioner. He had several police officers in Tyler verify the length of the hair for his world record submission.

“Once that is done,” he says, “I’m going to pluck it and hang it next to the certificate.”
