 Man you can get you dreads stolen out Africa slim say what? They play no games out there, it has been reported there has been a numerous amount of "dreadlock theft" in the last couple of months. People are being beat up at parties and having their haircut off. I know sounds crazy right, but they say that women are the more likely targets for these crimes. They say that dreads are like money down they right now and since everybody can't grow long hair they steal it. Natural hair and dreadlocks are huge business in South Africa.  The locks can be sold as hair extensions and can typically go for as much as $275, depending on the length.  As a matter of fact, the demand for the matted locks is so high that patrons often will not even question where the hair came from. The stolen hair can be weaved on to the head of a male or female, whereas before, synthetic hair had been used for eons. The typical weaving-in process can take up to two hours and can be woven on to the head using a crochet hook or needle and thread.  A stylist can charge up to about $170 to weave in the dreadlocks.
