Tami Manis of Knoxville, Tennessee officially holds the Guinness World Records title for the world’s longest competitive mullet (female). At 5 ft 8 in, Tami’s mullet measures taller than her.
The public health nurse last cut the back of her hair on 9 February 1990—the date which she considers to be her mullet’s birthday.
Tami says she first began growing her hair in the 80s when she saw a video by Til Tuesday called “Voices Carry.”
Influenced by a barber telling her the style did not suit her, Tami cut her hair In November of 1989. Immediately regretting her decision, Tami committed to growing it once more, marking February 9, 1990, as her hair's official birthday.
“I’ve been blessed that my hair grows and now it’s the world’s longest mullet and I’m very happy with it” said Tami Manis
True to form, Tami shares that most people don’t notice how long her mullet is until she turns around and they see it from the back. Tami says over the years, friends and family have asked questions about her mullet and it has become quite the conversation piece.
Feeling fortunate that she has been able to grow her hair, Tami goes to great lengths to take care of her record-holding locks. Hask hair products and an Argan oil-infused conditioner have become key ingredients to keeping her hair healthy and strong.
After receiving her certificate in the mail, Tami confirmed she was in fact the GWR title holder for the longest competitive mullet (female) and that she would be featured in Guinness World Records 2024.
