A Chinese man has not cut his hair in 60 years

A Chinese herbal medicine practitioner has not cut his hair for 60 years and keeps it in a bag on his back.

Peng Fu, 79, of Suining, started to grow his hair when he started to learn traditional Chinese medicine at the age of 20.

“From then on to now, 60 years, I have never once cut my hair,” he told West China City Daily.

“My hair started to turn white 10 years ago, but I have not lost much.”

Peng says he loves his long hair so much that he won’t let anyone else touch it, although he admitted he rarely washes it.

He started tossing it into a bag and carrying it on his bag to make his life easier. At the last measurement, his hair was 8ft 10ins (2.7m) long and weighs nearly 9lbs (4kg).

Peng makes a living by digging up herbal medicines from the mountains and selling them in markets.
