THERE is a new world record for the tallest Mohican mohawk, and it will give you all kinds of hair envy. Joseph Grisamore of Minnesota, the U.S., checks in with a mohawk fan over 42.5 inches (1.082 meters) tall, Guinness World Records said on its website. “My favorite thing about the mohawk is just the rarity of it,” Grisamore told Guinness. “I’ll admit that peoples’ reactions are pretty priceless too. I’m 6’1 [1.85 meters] tall, and my mohawk is pushing 4 feet now.” Grisamore said that he doesn’t even use that much product. Usually he gets his hair stylist to tease the base so it can basically stand on its own. “Doors aren’t over 7′ tall, ceilings 9′, and cars are impossible to get into — so I’m limited to where and how I move around when I’m all done up, but the crowd usually comes to me,” he said. Grisamore said he wanted to break this record back in 2007 but was too afraid to shave the sides of his hair in order to qualify for the record. He decided to try again and grew his hair to 4 feet in seven years, allowing him to break the record. (SD-Agencies) |
