The Guiness World Records on Tuesday said a Nigerian HELEN WILLIAMS has set a world record for the longest handmade wig.
HELEN achieved the feat in Lagos with her handmade wig of 351.28 metres (1,152 ft 5 in).
Guiness World Records said HELEN spent 11 days and over two million naira making the wig.
After constructing the underlay with wig-cap netting and black fabric attached to a bicycle helmet, she completed the hairpiece using 1,000 bundles of hair, 12 cans of hair spray, 35 tubes of hair glue, and 6,250 hair clips.
The Nigerian has been a professional wigmaker for the past eight years, making between 50 to 300 wigs weekly.
HELEN told the British reference book that at some point, she felt exhausted, but said her friends and family encouraged her to carry on.
The outcome is the longest handmade wig in the world.
HELEN did the work beside the Lagos–Abeokuta Expressway – a route linking Ogun and Lagos State.
But creating a world record was not an easy feat for HELEN despite the almost-decade-long experience.
