Carol Ofori is looking for KZN’s biggest afro!

Last year, Simone Williams found herself as a Guinness World Record holder for the world’s largest afro. After growing her hair out for close to a decade, her hair measured in at 20.5 cm tall, 22.5 cm wide, and 1.48 m in circumference when she clinched the title. Now, Carol Ofori is looking for the biggest afro in KZN. 

"Rocking a natural ‘fro is something that really symbolises your pride in being Black. And I feel like whenever I wear my hair very big and beautiful, I just feel that pride within me,” Simone said shortly after claiming her title. “Styling my hair like this is a silent reflection of who I am as a Black woman, it’s dynamic, it’s larger than life, and it’s fun! Sometimes I leave the house and if I have on a plain outfit, my hair will be my biggest accessory. From the beginning my natural hair has been a journey. I most definitely see it as my statement piece."
