Her newest record-breaking piece reportedly stands higher than a typical three-storey building.
The newly recognised wig measures over 15 metres from base to tip, a height Guinness World Records officially confirmed in a public announcement shared across its platforms.
The organisation described the achievement as the tallest wig ever made, crediting Williams for the historic accomplishment.
Speaking on her motivation, Williams described record-breaking as a demanding but fulfilling journey, likening it to scaling a mountain filled with obstacles before reaching a rewarding summit. She expressed confidence that limits exist only to be surpassed.
The hair stylist revealed that the project was her most technically demanding work so far, noting that an initial attempt collapsed during testing, forcing her to redesign the internal framework to achieve balance and durability.
According to her, the structure required about 250 bundles of synthetic hair, cost over ₦3 million, and took approximately two weeks to complete.
She stressed that experience alone is not enough, as the engineering behind such a project determines success or failure.
Beyond the towering wig, Williams also holds additional Guinness titles for arranging the highest number of hair clips within 30 seconds, further reinforcing her reputation for innovation and resilience.
She said her journey reflects courage, consistency and the determination to rise above fear, adding that she remains focused on pushing boundaries and achieving even more global recognition.
