Question

Is one required to wash hands after touching hair if they wish to bless or study?

Answer

If one touches the depth of the hair, they need to wash their hands, but if they only touch the surface of the hair, they do not need to wash. There is no difference between under the kippah and outside the kippah, as any place in the depth of the hair on the head is considered a place of sweat, and not in the depth, it is not.
