Be cautious of hair bands that are sold in pasar malams or other open markets.
As they might be made from China since everything there is cheap.




These hair bands were made from used condoms, threads.




'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying. A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for just 25 s en (three cents), much cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity, the paper said.

Check your hair bands and make sure you do not put them in your mouth while trying to plait or tie your own hair. :D
