HOMESTEAD - Robert Starrett, a freshman at Homestead High School, now has the longest arm hair in the world, certified by the Guinness Book of World Records. He said he’s the third person in six months to break the arm hair record.

Robert’s single, lengthy hair was measured at 5.3 inches. He said the process started with an online application. He had to get a number of witnesses and then get the hair officially measured.

He said he discovered the hair about six months ago when it was two-and-a-half inches.
