#5435 – Get One’s Hair Even More Done
The question (5429) about hair is not clear what is permitted for a married and unmarried woman. From your answer it would seem an unmarried woman may have a haircut which she is not allowed to!
Kvod Horav Shlit”a On question 5429 we wrote:
“Q. Dear Rabbi and friend. I have some questions concerning the prohibition of cutting hair and shaving during sefira time for women. Can a woman that wears a sheitl or covers her hair and now it is too long and protrudes a bit outside the covering trim it so it won’t?
Can she also cut or trim the excess hair, of her legs before going to the mikva?
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that it would be permitted.
On question 5430 we wrote– Q. See question above. Two more related questions. Can a married woman who want’s to look attractive to her husband cut her surplus hair?
And can an unmarried woman who is dating for finding a shiduch do the same?
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that it is permitted.
The answers are clear as to what is permitted and what is not.
