World's biggest hairdo created

The world's biggest hairdo has now entered the Guinness Book of Records, with the title being claimed by Peruvian hairdresser Amparo Jara.

Her creation was made possible by assembling a combination of hair pieces reaching 1.8metres (6ft) on actress Susan Leon.



Ms Jara said she was inspired by the fashion of seventeenth century France.

It's the first of its kind, according to Felipe Carbonell, the Guinness Book of Records representative in Peru.

Mr Carbonell ratified the towering hairdo that took at least ten hair stylists to put together under Ms Jara's direction.
