A woman with the world's widest wig has stunned fans by revealing what she looks like without it on.
Helen Williams' 11ft 11inch hairpiece is so large, it even earned her a Guinness World Record. The 31-year-old had previously earned the record for the longest handmade wig and has since bagged a second accolade for the world's widest.
Helen said: "As a professional wigmaker, I look forward to breaking many more records in the wig category. I enjoy taking on difficult tasks, it makes me a better person and I learn new things. I want my children and great grandkids to grow up and see the widest wig. The wig is now part of history."
Helen fashioned the piece with more than 1,000 rhinestones and 800 bundles of hair amazed people by sporting the accessory at an event. But an earlier Instagram post of Helen without the wig shocked her followers.
Commenting on the photo, one user wrote: "Woah, when did this happen?" Another added: "OMG this is hugeeeeee," after seeing Helen in a before and after reel of the wig being added.

Helen's impressive wig is an inch wider than a Mini Cooper and almost as tall as her, Borneo Bulletin suggested. But she's not the only one to have smashed a Guinness World Record recently.
Fellow world record holder Diana Armstrong has since spoken of her "world's longest talons" after growing them out for 27 years. Diana has not cut her 45ft fingernails since 1997 and has explained very little changes when she lives out her day-to-day activities, the Mirror previously reported.
She revealed: "Well you know, when I go to the bathroom it'll be the same as anyone else going to the bathroom, just I work with my nails probably in a different way they'd work with theirs."
