Women in the city of Maracaibo in Venezuela should be careful when wearing their hair down. According to local news sources, a group known as “piranhas” are now stealing women’s hair -- and they prefer it straight.

The robbers will hold women at gunpoint in malls and tell them to tie their hair into a ponytail so that they can then cut it off and sell it to beauty salons as hair extensions, according to Venezuelan digital newspaper Informe 21.

Jhonatan Morales, a hair stylist in Venezuela, told Globovision news that the use of hair extensions has gone up by 30%, but that his salon “doesn’t buy from street vendors because we don’t know where that hair comes from.”

Venezuela’s soaring crime rates have been an issue in recent years. Caracas, the country’s capital, is the third most violent city in the world, according to a study by the Citizen Council for Public Safety and Criminal Justice.

plot to destabilize the Maduro government. Reprehensible.

3. Well, when the American economic terrorists try to destabilize Venezuela's economy

by shutting off critical shipments of hair extensions, what should we EXPECT to happen?

First toilet paper, now hair extensions. It's all too predictable. It's just criminal what we're doing to
those poor people in the name of oil.

I hear they're starting to hide their fingernail clippers.

4. hhmmmm, could be the hair extension hoarder mafia inside Venezuela

causing the problem. These young capitalistic entrepreneurs cutting off women's hair are simply being innovative.
