“I Googled ‘world’s largest afro’ and when she came up I was in awe,” Williams told Guinness of her reaction to Aevin Dugas, the previous record-holder, who inspired her to compete for the title. “At the time, I didn’t think my hair was anywhere close to hers, she was goals! But I was so happy to see that she was recognized and there was a chance for others to be recognized too.”
Dugas, a New Orleans-based social worker, held the title for eight years with her natural-grown ‘do, which measured 4-foot-4-inches in circumference.
