Helen Williams a Nigerian wig maker has set the Guinness world record for making the longest hand-made wig stretching up to 351.28m (1,152ft 5in).

She spent 11 days and two million naira (£2,000: $2,500) to create the hairpiece. It took 1,000 bundles of hair, 12 cans of hair spray, 35 tubes of hair glue and 6,250 hair clips. |
In disbelief, she said the achievement is "one of the best things that has ever happened” to her.
Though she has been a wigmaker for nearly a decade, she said the task was not an easy one as she "felt exhausted" during the process.
"Friends and family encouraged me. I did not want to let them down, so I maintained my focus."
The record was confirmed by Guinness World Record on Tuesday.
The wig is being displayed in her office so people can come and look at her record-setting wig.
This is coming after another Nigerian broke the record for longest cooking hours but recently lost it to an Irish man.
