Section: Questions Category: Halacha | Halacha - lo silbash | | Submitted by marvin Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | | Question: can I take a cream that will get rid of white hair ?(its not a dye,it just gives you melanin which is a loss of vitamin that comes with age) Thanxs in advance.
| | Answer:
According to many Poskim there is an issur d'oraisa for a man to dye white hairs. Since I am not aware of any source or conclusive reason to differentiate between dye and melanin, I don't see any grounds to be lenient. If the melanin would keep black hairs from turning grey, it seems that it should be permitted.
