Dad sports record 20.5-inch high top fade

HOUSTON – California dad Benny Harlem has the tallest high top fade in the world, according to Guinness World Records.

Guinness reported, “In order to perfect his 20.5 inch tall hairstyle, the model will sometimes shape and comb his hair for two hours.”

Harlem lives in Los Angeles. His daughter Jaxyn also has long locks. Benny first started getting attention for his hair after posting an Instagram photo with his daughter in 2016. The image eventually went viral.

Guinness reported that Harlem and his family use “homemade shampoos prepared with unprocessed and pure ingredients like coconuts and berries, while also taking care of their overall health so that their hair is well-nourished.”

Harlem told Guinness he wants to inspire people of all cultures and backgrounds to embrace who they are by appreciating their own natural hair.
