California businessmen hope to break world record for 'most hair donated in 24 hours'

Whoever said one world record was enough? For the team at Longhairs, a California-based men's grooming brand, bigger is better. Or — in their company's case — longer is better. After setting a Guinness World Record five years ago for the "most hair donated to charity in a 24-hour period" during "The Great Cut of 2019," Chris Healy, co-founder of the Longhairs, and Sean Horton, the company's creative director, are ready to surpass that record.

The organization was successful in 2019, donating over 339 pounds of hair — but now the Longhairs team is hoping to surpass that record in 2024. Longhairs is partnering with Children With Hair Loss, an organization that will receive 100% of the proceeds. "We believe that this is the true reflection of masculinity, which is giving freely of ourselves cheerfully and in abundance," Horton told FOX Business.

In 2017, I lost my father to cancer, and one of the most intimate experiences I had with him was the act of shaving his head while he was going through chemotherapy," Horton said. "And this is sort of my homage in a sense, a way to connect with him again and to kind of relive that experience in my own way. So, it's going to be emotional." The ticketed event will include hundreds of hair stylists and barbers who will be ready to cut participants' hair.
