Just when you thought crime couldn't get any stranger, a new trend of stealing the hair right off your head has cropped up in parts of South Africa. The thieves target individuals with dreadlocks that oftentimes have been grown for years. Unfortunately not everyone who is interested in the style is willing to take the time and effort to grow them, hence the emergence of this type of crime. What is frightening is that the thieves use whatever sharp item they have at their disposal, sometimes even broken glass to cut off the hair before making their getaway. The dreadlocks are later woven onto the existing hair of someone who has requested the look. With the style growing in popularity, one can only assume that this crime spree is far from over. Source.
If something like this happened to me, I'd feel angry and violated. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Feel free to leave a comment below.
