Da Hair Connect in New Orleans was robbed of $30,000 worth of human hair. There's a lot of BUZZ about this story.

The hair is sold in bundles, and people can spend more than $1,000 each time they decide to use them.

“People like to switch different styles. You might want to wear long hair one week and a bob the next week. They like to change it up,” says owner Charles Bell.

Bell wasn't at all surprised to learn that his store had been robbed. He does go through great LENGTHS to keep his store safe. There's no hair hanging in the store, as it's all concealed. People have to knock to come in, and security cameras capture all angles of the store.

Here's what's unbeWEAVEable, investigators say the thieves knocked out a cinder block wall in the back of the building to get in and out. They SLIPPED away with 125 packs of bundled hair that equals $30,000.

Human hair is being sold on the black market, and has caused thefts in large amounts, especially in major cities. $230,000 worth of human hair was stolen from one Chicago area salon alone.

[Ed. Note: The hair jokes are just that. Jokes. The crime is just that. A crime. That is a serious matter. On a very serious note, we hope that the crooks who did this are promptly caught.]
