A Nigerian wig maker, Helen Williams, has set another global record after creating a wig taller than a three-storey building.
Guinness World Records confirmed that Williams’ latest creation stands at 15.37 metres, making it the tallest wig ever recorded. The new feat adds to her growing list of achievements in wig making.
The record body noted that Williams had earlier set records for the world’s longest handmade wig, measuring 351.28 metres, and the widest wig at 3.65 metres, making the tallest wig her third major global title.
Speaking to Guinness World Records, Williams said her journey with record-breaking is far from over.
“I don’t think I’ll ever stop breaking records,” she said.
To have a record is like climbing a mountain. The climb is hard and full of challenges but the view from the top is incredible.
“Breaking another record shows that nothing is impossible.”
Williams, a professional wig maker, described the tallest wig as her most difficult project so far. She explained that an initial test failed before she redesigned the structure.
“Before the attempt, I did a test run and to be honest, the test one failed.
“Making the wig stand was going to be very difficult but I went back and started designing again.
