SIMONE Williams, from Brooklyn, New York loves her incredible afro - which has a circumference of 4ft 10" - and she has no intention of cutting it anytime soon. Winning a Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest Afro in February 2020 was a huge moment for Simone. However in March of 2021, the previous record holder reapplied and won the title back. Simone is still continuing on her hair growing journey and one day hopes to apply for the record and get the title back. Over the years Simone has had a lot of different hairstyles but fell in love with the natural afro look and told Truly that despite her hair’s size it only takes her 10 minutes to get ready in the morning. For Simone her natural hair is massively linked to her self esteem and well being, telling Truly: “I love my afro, it’s a huge part of who I am. It makes me feel strong. It makes me feel empowered. I feel so confident when I have my hair this length.”
