Question

I have a matchmaking meeting during the Nine Days. May I bathe and wash my hair?

Answer

With cold water this is permitted, and in areas where there is much perspiration that will not be removed with cold water, it is permitted even with hot water (as this is considered for the need of a mitzvah).
