Some tribal nations (see women of the the Kayan Lahwi tribe) put rings around a baby's neck shortly after birth. As the baby grows, the ring is removed and replaced with a wider ring. This pushes down the shoulders, making the neck appear longer. A ring is added periodically. Eventually, an adult's neck is surrounded by 8 or more metal rings. These adornments are only occasionally removed, usually to put on another ring. Because the rings have held up the head and stretched the cervical spine and muscles, the person often cannot hold up their own head when not wearing the rings! It is painful to wear, but also painful to remove them Typically, these rings nearly double the length of the average neck. Here is a video about the women of Padaung.
