What is it about a man's beard and a woman's hair

**aisha_nadia83** · 21-07-2006, 04:11 PM

Salaams, I was wanting to know why men should not cut the hair on their face and then why should I not cut my own hair. Some body was telling me that angles play there. Is this true and if so where can I read about it?

Thanks so much aisha_nadia

why should I not cut my own hair.

the prohobition on women cutting their hair is not a consensus. Maliki women can cut their hair, even have it layered if they want. I think the prohibition is mostly made by indo-pak hanafi ulama. There's more about this in the sisters forum, aisha, if youre interested.

I recently asked a cosmetician about peroxide used in hair dyes.. and she said something interesting and I'm hoping someone here can verify this for me. She said that henna coats the hair making it much more impenetrable than peroxide. In fact, peroxide leaves the hair porous and allows the water to get to the hair.
I asked then, if peroxide allows penetration of water then why do dyers often have very dry hair.. and she said because the peroxide removes natural oils in the hair...
i thought the opposite was true.. that henna allows penetration but peroxide doesn't. Anyone know?

I also heard that henna coats the hair

Henna is a natural plant coloring for the hair; made from the powdered leaves of a desert shrub plant, Lawsonia.

Henna contains hannatannic acid which, when mixed with hot water, will coat the hair. It seals in oils and tightens the hair cuticle giving your hair a rich, healthy shine. Henna has no lightening action, so the shade that you choose will depend on your hair color (natural or tinted).

using henna is sunnah, but isn't it dislike to dye your hair in its natural colour, using henna - so if you have black hair, you can't dye your hair in black henna - is that correct????
