‘It’s about pride’: Louisiana woman sets record for world’s largest afro

Aevin Dugas wins Guinness world record for third time in 13 years, with a circumference of 5ft 5in

The Louisiana woman who has set the Guinness world record for the largest afro three different times in the last 13 years says she keeps breaking the mark to personally vouch for the beauty of natural hair.

I didn't decide to grow an afro as much as I decided to go natural," Aevin Dugas told Guinness World Records in an interview earlier this month. It's about pride in textured hair which leads to self-love."
