"Tin foil" is usually made of (mostly) aluminum. As with any metal, there is a certain amount of impurity present within it (carbon, other metals, etc.). Additionally, aluminum is a very reactive metal, so there is always a thin layer of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) on the surface.

Aluminum foil heats up during highlights at the hair salon because it is a good conductor of heat. When placed in close contact with the hair and the coloring chemicals, the foil helps to speed up the chemical reaction that lightens the hair.
