Cutting hair and nails during haidh

Q: Please advise regarding the following:

1. Is it permissible to cut nails and hair during menstrual period? Elders say to keep it safe until haidh/nifas period is over and to wash it off after that and to bury it. 

2. Is there any specific dua in Qur'an or hadees to change the husband into obedient slave of Allah (because he is not convinced of Allah's wrath if he commits zina after marriage. He refuses to stop contacts with a Christian lady over social media saying that theirs was and will be pure frienship. But I knew few months back that they committed zina several times and continuing contacts even after she married another guy). I wish Allah will change him one day eventhough I know very well that he is very much addicted to her. It was his main hobby to chat with strange girls and became close to them. He isnt stopping it after our marriage. He isnt serious about life after death. I dont want him to die as a person who committed zina. I love him sincerely eventhough I wished and prayed before nikaah that the person who marry me will be a religious guy who is concious of deen. My family will consider me as a burden if I become a divorcee, even if I struggled alot and have valid reasons to seek divorce.

Wearing a watch that has gold plating

Q: I bought an automatic watch that was stated to be all stainless steel. However, I was looking through the  case back and it appears that the rotor (instrument that winds the watch that makes it work) might be gold plated. I looked online and it does seem like the rotor is made of steel, not solid gold. The rest of the watch components, such as the dial, hands, markers, case, strap, buckle & case back are either made of steel or crystal.  Would it be impermissible to wear such a watch if the rotor (or any other mechanical part on the inside) is gold plated?  If that is the case and I have been wearing that watch for the past 8 months, what needs to be done? Should I sell it or would that also be impermissible?

Suitable pajamas for females

Threading one's eyebrows

Q: My husband would like me to thread my eyebrows so that he finds me more attractive and makes our relationship stronger. It means a lot to him. But I am unsure if I am allowed. Although other people would see me, I would only be threading my eyebrows because he wants me to. Am I allowed or is it prohibited even if that is what he wants?
