TL;DR Summary

Aevin Dugas, a Louisiana woman, has set a Guinness World Record for having the largest afro on a living person, measuring 9.84 inches tall, 10.24 inches wide, and 5.41 feet in circumference. Dugas struggled to accept her natural hair as a child due to a lack of representation, but she stopped getting her hair chemically straightened with relaxers in 1999. She has set the record three times, and her hair is part of her body and personal space, so she asks people not to touch it. Dugas views her record as a celebration of textured hair and self-love.
