Q: When growing long hair, is it correct to trim the hair that exceeds the hairline, such as:

1. The hair around the ears, which covers the ears when the hair is combed downwards and curls up when the hair is combed backwards, is it correct to trim this hair by using a scissors or a machine around the ear?

2. The hair which exceeds the hairline at the back of the head, is it correct to trim this hair to the level of the hairline at the back?

3. The hair that exceeds the hairline on the sides of the back of the head, is it correct to pull these hairs to one side with a comb, and trim off whatever exceeds the hairline?

4. The hair of the sideburns from the top of the ear till the middle of the ear, if the sideburns become too long and look untidy?

Q: A lady has long hair that she does not cut because it is impermissible. However, over time, her hair has become uneven.

1. Is it permissible to cut the hair so that it looks even (of the same length) from her back when she unties it and puts her hair to her back?
Note that since individual hair strands grow from follicles at different parts of the scalp, making sure the hair looks the same length does not mean that each strand is of the same length. She feels like it is impossible to guarantee that all hair is the same length.

2. She has a lot of split ends and her hair is very dry and unhealthy at the ends. Is it permissible for her to cut the dry part (bottom 3-4 inches) so all of her hair becomes healthy?
