Her current world record measures 5.41 feet in circumference, 9.84 inches tall, and 10.4 inches wide.
Prior to wearing her hair naturally, Dugas altered her hair in many different ways.
I didn’t decide to grow an afro as much as I decided to go natural, Dugas says.
That was because I was tired of using dangerous chemicals to permanently straighten my hair.
Dugas takes great pride in keeping her hair healthy and shares her routines on social media.
Although she visits a hairdresser on occasion, she also trims her own hair.
I give a shot to do styles that keep my ends hidden.
That helps a lot.
When Dugas wears her afro in public, she says she always attracts a lot of attention from strangers.
While most of it is positive, she does come across some folks who touch her hair without permission.
People have different reactions to my afro, she says.
Despite the occasional annoyance, Dugas loves her afro and shows it off confidently.
It’s about pride in textured hair, she explains, which leads to self-love.
