โAnyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-comeโ (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)
Question:
May one comb a wig on Shabbat?
Answer:
Menapetz does not apply to live hair or fur, because hair and fur while they are attached to a living being cannot be properly spun into thread.[1] It is, however, forbidden to comb oneโs hair because of Gozez, as we've mentioned in a previous Halacha Moment.
One may comb a wig on Shabbat if the following conditions are met:
1) By combing it one will not pull out any hairs.
2) One could theoretically go outside with the wig even without combing it, and only a slight
combing is necessary.
3) One should use a comb that one does not usually use during the week. [2]
