Combing Dry Hair
Question
Is it permitted to comb dry hair on a weekday?
Answer
Shalom!
In the Talmud it is mentioned that this can cause blindness. However, many halakhic authorities have already written that if in our time we see that this is not a problem, so we can assume that nature has changed, and it is permitted.
