Celebrity Gist – A Nigerian wigmaker has set a new Guinness World Record for creating the longest handmade wig.
The Guinness World Record in a statement on Tuesday said: “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.”
Helen, the wigmaker, spent 11 days and over two million naira (£2,031; $2,493) to make the wig, which measures 351.28 meters (1,152 ft 5 in).
Helen has been working as a professional wigmaker for eight years and produces 50 to 300 wigs per week. She has also trained hundreds of students and made thousands of wigs.
