The economic situation in Venezuela has grown so dire
that women are selling their hair to make enough to buy
basic necessities.
In a trend that has gained momentum in recent weeks,
the women are thronging to a bridge that connects
Venezuela and Colombia, and selling their locks to self-
appointed brokers who then sell the hair as extensions to
Colombians.
It is the latest desperate measure to stem from the crisis
that includes shortages of such things as food and
medicine, as well as an inflation rate that now ranks as
the highest in the world.
In an interview with Reuters, Celina Gonzales, 45, said
she turned to selling her hair to buy medicine to relieve
pain."I suffer arthritis and I need to buy medicine,”
Reuters quoted Gonzales as saying, adding that she did
not tell her family about what she had opted to do.
“This won't be much, but at least I can buy painkillers."
Gonzales waited in a long line for an hour to sell her hair
for 60,000 Colombian pesos, or $20. That is about a
month’s salary, Reuters said.
