Question
A young boy told me before his Bar Mitzvah that he wanted beautifully curled sidecurls, and he was sent to a woman to curl them for him, which would last for many days. He sat with her for about an hour until the process was completed. Is it permissible to do this with a woman without medical necessity?
Answer
