Nigerian professional wig maker, achieved a Guinness World Record for creating the longest handmade wig, spanning over 350 meters (1,150 feet).
It took her 11 days and around U.S.$2,493 to make the wig, and she faced challenges sourcing materials and finding adequate space for measurement. Williams, after constructing the underlay with wig-cap netting and black fabric attached to a bicycle helmet, completed the hairpiece using 1,000 bundles of hair, 12 cans of hair spray, 35 tubes of hair glue, and 6,250 hair clips.
Despite suffering from exhaustion, the support of family and friends kept her motivated. She finally measured the wig on a road connecting Lagos and Abeokuta. Reacting to her new feat in the Guinness World Records book, Helen expressed her joy, remarking 'it is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I still cannot believe it.'
