Thieves target hair extension and wig shipments in SA

Shipments containing wigs and hair extensions are increasingly being hijacked upon arrival in South Africa. The increased incidents of theft have led to wigs and hair extensions becoming one of the most insured goods in the country.

According to Hollard, hair extension imports to South Africa have increased by 64 percent in the last four years. Imports total approximately R1.1-billion per year.
