Question
Hello, I wanted to ask if it is permitted to wash and comb a wig during the Nine Days.
Answer
Hello,
A wig is considered like clothing, and it is forbidden to wash it, similar to the prohibition of laundering clothes.
The prohibition applies during the Nine Days - according to Ashkenazi custom. And during the week it falls in - according to Sephardi custom.
