Question
A person whose barber gave him cream against dry hair, should he be concerned about it being a barrier for tefillin, and should he be concerned about the prohibition of 'not wearing women's clothing'?
Answer
Since it has no substance, it does not constitute a barrier, and since men also do this, it does not fall under the prohibition of 'not wearing women's clothing'.
