I have about 100 tiny beads in my hair made from coated aluminium. they are against my scalp. this is to hold hair extensions in. is this safe? can it absorb in the skin and become toxic to health or cause radiation? silicon is on the inside of bead?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely. No radiation issues that I can think of. Much less that you get in the sun. Aluminium not likely to be absorded. And ALLERGIES to not not reported. Silicon is safe.
