A Nigerian woman has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest handmade wig.<\/p>\n
Helen Williams, from Lagos city, set the record after making the wig stretching more than 350m (1,150ft), the Guinness World Records (GWR) said in a statement.<\/p>\n
A professional wig maker for eight years, Ms Williams spent 11 days and $2,493 (\u00a32,031) making the wig.<\/p>\n
She said despite the experience, it was not an easy task, including finding the materials – saying that she “felt exhausted\u201d at some point, GWR quoted her as saying.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, friends and family encouraged me. I did not want to let them down, so I maintained my focus. The outcome is the longest handmade wig in the world,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She noted that the biggest challenge was getting space to have the wig laid out in a straight line and measured accurately.<\/p>\n
She eventually did on an expressway \u2013 the road connecting the cities of Lagos and Abeokuta.<\/p>\n
It comes after Nigerian chef Hilda Baci was last week dethroned as the world record holder for non-stop cooking.<\/p>\n
Ms Baci won the title earlier this year, causing a sensation in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
