Combing Hair on the Sabbath
Question
Is there any leniency or solution that would allow combing hair on the Sabbath?
Sometimes I feel really uncomfortable leaving the house.
Answer
If it is not certain that hairs will be pulled out, then it is permitted — for example, with a brush that has soft bristles or a comb with wide spaces between the teeth.
