Sistahs, it’s getting straight up crazy out there. When you have to not only watch your back, but literally the hair on your head, that’s a hot mess. A HOT MESS!
“We’ve told you about three different women dubbed “Botox Bandits” for getting the procedure and then running from the doctors’ offices before paying. We also reported on a woman who spent $12,000 on lipo and breast implants using a stolen credit card. But the newest beauty crime wave—the reselling of ill-gotten beauty loot—has hit, and the price tag of the stolen goods is even higher.
This week, weave-grabbers broke into a Houston beauty shop, swiping $150,000 worth of hair extensions. “Thieves have recently taken $10,000 in hair from a San Diego shop; $85,000 from a business in Missouri City, Tex.; $10,000 from a shop in Dearborn, Mich.; and $60,000 from a business in San Leandro, California,” according to The New York Times. Burglars at a Chicago beauty shop were so hair-focused that they stole $90,000 worth of extensions, yet left the cash register full!”
SAO PAULO (AP) – Brazilian police say a thief cut off and stole a woman’s long hair while she waited at a bus stop.
Police say the hair was virgin, meaning it had not been chemically treated, and will probably be sold for the production of wigs.
And I am sorry, but you cannot blame this mess on the economy. Just because you are poor does not mean you are gonna snatch someone’s weave off of their head. That’s just plain ignorant.
