I'm thinking the hair weave ought to become standard safety equipment for our INGO LEOs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Police in Kansas City, Mo., said a woman's tight hair weave stopped a bullet, rescuing her from injury and likely saving her life.

Officers said they arrived at the Country View Market at about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday to find the woman's boyfriend had allegedly shot out the back window of a car, KSHB-TV, Kansas City, reported Thursday.

Investigators said the woman wasn't injured after her hair weave stopped the bullet and her boyfriend was taken into custody.

I've heard of helmet hair, but that's the first time I've ever heard of it having a practical use.

Helmet hair.

I think she's discovered a new material for bullet proof vests.

I'd rather take the bullet than go through life with hair like that. I've seen roadkill that was more fashionable.
