AKIPRESS.COM - A model with 15-cm long facial hair has become the youngest woman in the world to have a full beard, according to the Guinness World Records, BBCreports.

Body positivity campaigner Harnaam Kaur, 24, from Slough, Berkshire, said it was "humbling" to be included.

She described her beard as part of her quest to overcome years of bullying to cope with her appearance.

Other record breakers added to the list include the longest pet cat and a high-jumping llama.

Ms Kaur has polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal condition that can result in the growth of excess facial hair.

In March 2016 she became the first female with a beard to walk the runway at London Fashion Week.
