Helen Williams, a Nigerian woman, has set a new Guinness World Record for creating the "widest wig."
On Monday, the Guinness World Records announced that Williams crafted a hairpiece measuring 3.65 meters (11 feet 11 inches) wide, trailing to the floor—equivalent in length to a Mini Cooper car, which is 3.63 meters (11 feet 10 inches) long.
Williams spent over a month on her record-breaking masterpiece, using over 800 bundles of auburn hair, which cost a staggering N4,138,200 ($2,719 or ÂŁ2,150).
The 31-year-old predominantly made the wig by hand but also used a sewing machine for some parts.
Expressing her pride in her accomplishment, Williams, who also holds the record for most hair clips in a wig in 30 seconds with 90 clips, said, "I am very proud of myself. I now hold three records.
"As a professional wig maker, I look forward to breaking many more records in the wig category. I enjoy taking on difficult tasks; it makes me a better person, and I learn new things."
Williams shared that she was inspired by actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore, a former record holder. "I am a big fan of Drew Barrymore. She also inspired me," she said.
Williams now holds three records, including one for inserting 90 hair clips into a wig in 30 seconds and another for creating the longest handmade wig.
