Radhakant Baijpai has been the Guinness record holder for longest ear hair since 2003. Amazingly, in the time since his official recognition, the Indian grocer has been able to double the length of his world-beating tresses from five to 10 inches.

Baijpai, 58, attributes his follicle prowess to a special herbal shampoo. While it stands to reason there aren't many men out there gunning for this title, Baijpai's 25-year-old son is already displaying the kind of growth that could make him the ear-hair heir apparent.

After the jump, get a better look at 10 inches of ear hair.



As mantastic as ear hair can be, we think Baijpai should seriously consider adding a handlebar mustache to his look.
