Now let me tell you, before making the decision to go back to rocking my natural hair, I had everything! From extensions to human hair extensions, to colours, to relaxers, to braids, omg the works. But, never did I know that Remy hair (one I know to be the most expensive type of human hair weaves) was in such high demand that persons and salon owners have been getting robbed of it!!!
I mean, a store owner got killed for this and I just think that things are getting just more and more bizaare in terms of what people will actually go lengths to do. An except from the NY Times article says:
"The thieves pulled the iron bars out of the windows, outsmarted the motion detector that would have triggered a burglar alarm and did not give the safe or cash register a second look.
Lisa Amosu, a Houston salon owner, gluing hair onto a client. She valued human hair recently taken from the salon at $150,000.
Instead they went straight for what was most valuable: human hair. By the time the bandits at the My Trendy Place salon in Houston were finished, they had stolen $150,000 worth of the shop’s most prized type, used for silky extensions.
The break-in was part of a recent trend of thefts, some involving violence, of a seemingly plentiful material. During the past two months alone, robbers in quest of human hair have killed a beauty shop supplier in Michigan and carried out heists nationwide in which they have made off with tens of thousands of dollars of hair at a time." ":
For hair? Madness!!! but then again, people have killed for less :/
