Ondo Lady Aims To Set New World Record For Most Hairstyles In 24 Hours
Caroline Ejibunu, a Nigerian lady, is set to attempt a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the most hairstyles created in a 24-hour marathon.
The event dubbed the ‘Hair-a-Thon’ will take place on December 4 at City Walk 2.0, Ademulegun Road in Ondo State.
Carolaura, as she is fondly called, said the exercise is designed to celebrate creativity, endurance, and innovation in the beauty industry, showcasing Nigeria as a hub of talent and ingenuity.
The hair maker also disclosed that she had received formal approval from the GWR organisers to embark on the attempt.

“Live global engagement: the event will be live-streamed to audiences worldwide, offering an immersive experience for global viewers.

“Community connection: the Hair-a-Thon invites active participation from local community members, beauty aficionados, and industry leaders.

Currently, there is no record holder for the most hairstyles made in 24 hours in the prestigious British reference book.
But the most consecutive haircuts in 24 hours by an individual is 526 and was achieved by Nabi Salehi of A&N Style Hair Studio, in London, UK, on June 4, 2011.
