Amir Menendez is just 14 years old. He lives in California and his hairstyle is a serious business. His afro (非洲式发型) is the largest ever: 19.67 cm high, 24.83 cm wide, with an amazing circumference (周长) of 226 cm.

Amir started growing his hairstyle five years ago. He does a lot of things to take care of the health of his hair and scalp. Although Amir loves his hair, there are a few challenges that Amir has to face. “For one, I feel like my hair always distracting in class so I have to twist (卷) it up,” he says. 

Although there were a few unkind words, Amir has mostly got likes from people about his hairstyle. “I love how unique it is, you don’t see something like my hair every day,” he says. “Also, it’s a great conversation starter.”

In his free time, Amir is a teenager with many hobbies. His favourite subject in school is science, and he likes to hang out with friends but also loves to collect shoes and trading cards. He plays football with his school’s team, but he dreams of becoming a doctor when he grows up.
