Question

Hello, My wife had a hair "straightening" treatment, after which small flakes of skin appeared, sticking to the hair (commonly known as "dandruff"). I would like to know the halachic guidance regarding immersion. Thank you in advance.

Answer

Hello,

Remove with a fine comb what can be removed, and what cannot be removed is not considered a barrier.
