Does anyone know the effect of rust on hair? I have a couple of hair toys that have spots of rust on them and one that goes really rusty if I wear it for too long. Just a quick thought anyway.

well, my hair is in the rust hues, so aside from potential snags, I don't see an effect on hair.
I'd care for the toy, however with a light sanding and sealing.

I'd try to remove the rust with some fine steel wool. Not sure what rust will do to your hair.

I had a bad habit in my teens to put metal hair pins in wet bleached blonde hair. It didn't exactly hurt my hair but on blond hair they left rust marks. It was not pretty and I was so embarrassed when my hair dresser pointed it out for me.:o

I think the biggest risk would be getting your hair snagged on the roughness...
