Question

Hello Rabbi. My wife works in hair straightening and has Orthodox women clients. The question is whether there is an issue with her photographing their hair without body or face, making it impossible to identify them. She posts it in stories and such, and men see it. Is this allowed?

Answer

Hello 

It is forbidden for a man to see the hair of a married woman. However, it is permitted for women to see it.

Therefore, she should only share these photos with women who are interested in them.
