13-year old boy in the US sets Guinness World Record for the largest Afro







Tyler Wright has earned distinction for having the largest male afro. The 13-year-old from Maryland Heights, Missouri has an afro measuring 25.4 cm (10 in) high and 22.9 cm (9 in) wide. Plus his afro is 177.8 cm (5 ft 10 in) in circumference (yes, that’s hard to imagine!).
 
Tyler Wright was inspired to grow his Afro after seeing a photo of his father as a young boy in the 1970s.
 
His parents are extremely proud and supportive of their record-breaking son – but mum can’t wait to take him to a barbers to get it cut.
 
Having the world’s largest fro does not come without its problems because kids at Tyler’s school have been known to lose things in his enormous hair.
 
Previously the largest natural male Afro on record was 14.6 cm (5.75 in) in height, 21.6 cm (8.5 in) in width and 154.3 cm (5 ft 0.75 in) in circumference.
