The latest hair trend in China? Used condoms in your hair! Now, condoms - yes CONDOMS - are being recycled into hair elastics in Southern China because, well, they're super cheap. And if you thought that was gross, wait till you hear this: Health officials say there is a considerable risk for transmitting bacteria, HPV, or HIV through oral contact (when girls put the elastic in their mouths when gathering their hair for a ponytail) or through open wounds on fingers (from nail biting, paper cuts, etc.). SO WHY PUT OUT THIS PRODUCT? They cost 3 cents for 10 - why not just pay 10 cents and avoid contracting a sexually transmitted disease? This article BLOWS my mind. Not to be a minor myth buster, but I don't think the HIV virus (or any other viral strands) survive in open air, much less plastic. Anyways, where is this company finding the used condoms - is there a drop off site? So many questions!!
