MIAMI - Asha Mandela has hair that could rival that of the title character in the German fairy tale Rapunzel.
The South Florida woman who started growing her hair 20 years ago now has locks a lot longer than she is tall.
Mandela has submitted her hair, which measures 8 feet 9 inches long, to the Guinness Book of World Records for the Longest Dreadlocks, the first entry in a new category.
It takes one bottle of shampoo and one bottle of conditioner every time she washes her hair, which sometimes takes days to fully dry.
The 46-year-old Mandela says she used to wash it three times a week, but is now down to once a week.
She calls the process "very tiring" and says sometimes she just doesn't have the energy.
