GUINESS WORLD RECORDS

Ms. Honeycutt, 38 years old, from Michigan (USA), set the Guinness World Record for the longest beard in the world on a woman after deciding to give up the habit of shaving three times a day, The Guardian reported on August 11.

In addition to other symptoms, polycystic ovary syndrome causes hormonal imbalances that can lead to excessive hair growth.

In Honeycutt's case, the syndrome allowed her to claim the title of woman with the world's longest beard without receiving any hormone therapy.

Honeycutt has gone to great lengths to keep her face clean-shaven since she started growing a beard at the age of 13.

"I probably shaved at least three times a day," she told Guinness World Records, adding that she shaved, bleached, and waxed throughout her teenage years and into adulthood.

But recently, she lost part of her vision and began to feel "bored with having to shave all day".

On the advice of his wife Jen, Honeycutt decided to grow a beard.

On February 8, 2023, in Caro City (Michigan State), she officially set a Guinness record with a beard that was 25.5 cm long, much longer than the previous record holder, 75-year-old Vivian Wheeler, also an American, with a 25 cm beard.

Honeycutt's beard has now grown to 30cm.

Honeycutt said living with such a long beard was not easy, but she was pleased to receive a world record title for something she had previously been ashamed of.
