Mohawk marvel, Joe Grisamore's record-setting hairstyle

Joe Grismore, I'm from Park Rapids, Minnesota, USA

I currently hold the Guinness World Record title for the tallest full mohawk

Oh, I feel like a champion to hold the Guinness World Record title

for the tallest full mohawk. I'm very proud and delighted. It takes about an hour

If I have my hairdresser there and a crew of people to help me

it's a pretty quick process from start to finish when it's down, straightened, and fully standing up

If it's my wife doing it and it's just her and I, without ratting it down and everything

it probably takes an hour and a half, I think, to get it to stand

You know, I've always had long hair. As a child, I had a really nice mullet

I think it inspired me to just let it grow. Until 2013, actually, my hair measured 58 inches long

at which time I attempted the Guinness World Record title for the tallest spike mohawk and failed that attempt

I continue to let my hair grow. It's just natural. It's just how I am

In 2013, my hair was 5 1⁄2 feet long until I shaved it completely, which kind of bummed me out

I didn't really feel like myself, so I let it grow from that time on

with the intent of getting the Guinness World Record title for the tallest full mohawk

which I currently have at 42 inches tall, which is 108 centimeters
