Hair of Steel

You never know when your hair piece can save your life.

Take for example, Abbie Cornish, a young Australian actress who was recently on set filming the movie “Sucker Punch” when she was hit in the head with a World War I style bayonet.

Because the bayonet struck a metal clip in hair extensions holding her hair piece in place, Cornish avoided serious injury.

“I kind of liken it to the old bible in the left pocket story,” Cornish said in a Jimmy Kimmel Live interview. “Apparently the metal hair clip did really save my life and all I have now is a little scar that didn’t need stitches.”

In a much more serious circumstance, it was a metal hair clip that saved the life of a 25-year-old woman during a 2000 Kansas incident that became known as the Wichita Massacre. The woman was the lone survivor of a brutal murder/rape/assault/robbery in which four people lost their lives after they were shot execution-style.

The woman who survived was able to do so because her metal hair clip deflected the bullet she was shot with.

In another life-saving event, Missouri woman Briana Bonds was spared from a bullet piercing her skull because the bullet she was shot with became entangled in hair weave.

Bonds was allegedly shot by her ex-boyfriend after leaving a convenience store parking lot human hair extension.

”I’ve been wearing it for years,” Bonds said of her hair piece. “I’ve invested a lot of money into this weave. It saved my life. It saved my life.”
