Watch how women were nabbed while attempting to smuggle cocaine in their hair

Two women were arrested in Colombia Thursday for attempting to smuggle cocaine in their hair extensions, the Colombian Ministry of Defense said. 

The ladies, who used the extensions to create elaborate, poofy hairstyles, were busted at two separate airports in the South American country, the agency said.

They were headed to Madrid, Spain, and were stopped after going through security when a body scan showed foreign objects were stashed in their hair, Col. Carlos Alberto Potes said.

The drugs were hidden in small, round black tubes and were strapped to the suspects’ scalps underneath the extensions, images show.
