Women might wear them for length or just to switch their individual styles up, but one Missouri woman’s hair weave might’ve saved her life. According to Kansas City, Mo., police, a 20-year-old woman’s hair weave stopped a bullet, reports MSNBC. The victim called police late Wednesday night to a local market, and told the officers that she encountered her ex-boyfriend and another man in the parking lot. The man accompanying her ex approached her car telling her that the ex-boyfriend was still in love with her. After she responded, “I don’t love him,” she saw her ex walking toward her car shooting a gun. With her back window shattering, she zoomed out of the parking lot. Later on, the police discovered a bullet in the woman’s hair, according to reports. Her tightly-woven weave prevented it from entering her body. She was not injured. The victim’s ex and the man with him were arrested shortly thereafter.
