This Woman Has The Longest Wig in The World

A Nigerian woman has set a new world record by creating the longest handmade wig ever recorded.

Helen Williams designed a wig that stretches over 351 meters in length. The intricate weaving process took 11 days to complete and cost approximately $2,500.

Her project incorporated 1,000 packs of hair, 12 cans of hair spray, 35 tubes of hair glue, and 6,250 hairpins. Despite her eight years of experience in wig-making, Williams said the process was far from easy and left her exhausted.

Once the wig was completed, finding a suitable location to lay it out and measure it accurately posed another challenge. She ultimately chose a highway connecting Lagos and Abeokuta to display her creation.

Guinness World Records officially confirmed her achievement on Tuesday.
