North Augusta Man Gets First Haircut In 10 Years
A North Augusta man recently got his first haircut in ten years! You read that right, he hadn’t had a haircut in a decade! How could he possibly let it go so long? No pun intended. Why did he start growing his hair out in the first place? Exactly how long was his hair? We have all of the answers to these questions so just keep reading.
North Augusta Man – Connor Turner
According to a story from WRDW a North Augusta man named Connor Turner let his hair grow for over ten years! By the time he got it cut, his hair was 46 inches long. Exactly how long is 46 inches? That’s 3 feet 10 inches long, basically the same size as a small child! That’s insane! Now that we know how long Connor’s hair was when he got it cut, we’ve got to know why he did it in the first place.
Apparently, it all started as a bet. Connor said he and his cousin and some friends wanted to see who could grow their hair the longest. I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say Connor won by a long shot. What started as a simple bet is actually going to help a lot of people. All of the hair that Connor got cut off is going to benefit children who have lost their hair due to medical reasons.
Connor did say that life is a little easier now. He said it’s easier to sleep and shower without over three feet of hair. Also, Connor may have set a world record for the longest single hair donation by an individual. The folks from the Guinness Book of World Records are still reviewing it. How cool would that be? A North Augusta man in the Guinness Book of World Records! I hope that ends up happening for Connor.
I’ve got crazy respect for Connor. One time I let my hair grow for 8 months, and I couldn’t stand it anymore, I had to get it cut. To go for ten years, that’s awesome! Also to be able to help so many kids in the process, well done, Connor, well done.

I’m sure for Connor cleaning his hair was no small task. I wonder if he ever used anything other than shampoo to wash his hair. Apparently, these things work to clean your hair along with shampoo.
7 Surprising Hair Cleansing Methods That Go Beyond Shampoo
When it comes to maintaining our hair’s cleanliness and vitality, the majority of us turn to the trusty bottle of shampoo. But what if we told you there’s a whole world of alternative hair cleansing methods? From apple cider vinegar to baking soda, natural alternatives are gaining popularity. Many people are seeking to reduce their reliance on traditional shampoo.
One of the main motivations behind exploring alternative hair cleansing methods is the desire to minimize exposure to potentially harmful chemicals found in conventional shampoos. By turning to natural ingredients like apple cider vinegar, baking soda, or aloe vera, people can effectively cleanse their hair without the worry of harsh additives. These ingredients are gentle on the scalp, promoting healthier hair growth and reducing the risk of chemical-induced damage.
Everything but shampoo.
The scalp produces natural oils known as sebum, which nourish and protect our hair. Traditional shampoos often strip away these oils, leaving hair dry and brittle. On the other hand, alternative cleansing methods can help restore the scalp’s natural balance by maintaining an optimal level of sebum production. By using ingredients like diluted apple cider vinegar, people can remove excess oil and buildup while still preserving the hair’s natural moisture.
Many hair cleansing products contain synthetic chemicals that can be harmful to ecosystems once they’re washed down the drain. However, alternative hair cleansing methods offer a more sustainable approach. Ingredients like baking soda are biodegradable and have a minimal environmental impact. Additionally, these alternatives are often more affordable, making them an attractive option for those looking to reduce their household expenses.

However, it’s important to remember that everyone’s hair and scalp are unique. What works wonders for someone else might not have the same effect on you. That’s why it’s important to personalize your approach and find what works best for you. Don’t be discouraged if it takes a bit of trial and error to find your hair care soulmate.
If you’re ready to shake things up and embark on a more sustainable and holistic approach to hair care, check out these six everything-but-shampoo hair cleansing methods.
