 Everyone
has different hairstyles. Some people have straight hair while others
have curly hair. Many girls have
long hair, while boys have shorter hair. Other than these common hair
styles, some people have very unique hair styles. Recently, a Japanese
guy made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for having a special
hairstyle.
Last week, a Japanese designer named Kazuhiro Watanabe became a world record holder thanks
to his unique hairstyle. So, what’s so special about his hairstyle?
Look at the picture. He has the tallest Mohawk haircut in the world!
The 40-year-old designer from Japan earned a place in the 2013 edition of the Guinness Book
of World Records, which was released last Thursday. Watanabe unveiled his unique hairdo
at a press event in New York on September 12 to mark the launch of
the new book.
So, how tall is his hair? The tip of Watanabe’s spiked Mohawk stands 113 centimeters from
his skull! It took him 15 years
to grow the Mohawk to its present height. Three stylists had to help
him get his hair up into its shape. They used three canisters from hair spray
and a bottle of hair gel. Without
gel and hairspray, the hair reaches his knees!
 “It was
a lot of work, but I am happy to have achieved a world’s No 1 spot,” Watanabe said proudly. “It is too expensive to do the Mohawk
every day. So I only do it for special occasions like this and parties,”
he added.
Watanabe began his quest to get into the Guinness Book of World Records
when he was 20. At first, he didn’t mind which record he hold. One attempt that he considered before taking
on the Mohawk challenge was to drink the most Tabasco sauce!
The previous holder of the record for the biggest Mohawk was Stefan
Srocka from Germany. His hairdo stood 80 centimeters tall. “My 10-year-old
daughter has already decided that she intends to beat my record
one day!” said Watanabe. We will have to wait to see if she sets a
new world record! |
