Helen Williams from Nigeria has made it into the Guinness World Records. She created the world's longest wig.
The amount of money and time spent on this creation and the appearance of the 350-meter creature, according to the Guinness World Records website.
Why did the woman decide to make the longest wig
Williams has been fascinated by records since childhood and dreamed of making it into the list of those who achieved something incredible. As she grew up, she started making wigs, which eventually became a lifelong passion. She began teaching others, and eventually, an idea struck her.
She decided to create the longest wig (351.28 meters). With the support of friends and family, she successfully accomplished this remarkable feat.

"This achievement is one of the best events that have ever happened to me. I still can't believe it," confessed Williams.
How much money and time did the woman spend
It took the woman 11 days to make the wig. She spent almost $2,500 (around 90,000 hryvnias) on materials. Initially, she created a foundation using mesh and black fabric, which she attached to a bicycle helmet.

Then she started working with the hair. Williams used a thousand special wefts, 12 jars of hair spray, 35 tubes of special glue, and almost 6,300 hairpins.
'Finding materials to make the longest wig was a challenging task," the woman admitted.

When the wig was ready, Williams faced a new problem. She began searching for a location to showcase her creation. To spread out the hair and measure its exact length, she took it to a high-speed highway between two cities.
She also tried laying out the wig in a stadium, but there wasn't enough space. Now, Williams keeps it in her office. The woman is proud to be in the Record Book and is ready to showcase her creation to all interested parties.
