Syrian hairstylist creates Guiness world record with tallest hairstyle

If having witnessed a coiffure that stands more than 9 feet high was a wild imagination for many, Syrian hairstylist Dani Hiswani made sure this dream comes true.

Setting a Guinness World Record for the highest hairstyle, Hiswani styled a woman’s hair that measured 2.90 metres (9 feet 6.5 inches) in September this year.

The official Guinness World Records shared the video of the record-breaking feat on Instagram where the woman wore a helmet that had three little poles standing upright to hold the wigs and the hair extensions. Hiswani also used added decorations on his subject to mark a striking resemblance with a Christmas tree.

Since being posted, the video has received more than 2.65 lakh views. Many netizens, however, were unimpressed by the feat and said that for such a record, only the natural hair of a person must be used.
