<p><strong><em>Shidduch</em></strong></p>
<p>A male who is in <em>shidduchim</em> might wish to dye some white hair so as not to alarm the potential girl he is dating. Is this permitted? Many
<em>poskim</em> permit this practice since his purpose is to improve his chance for marriage, not for beautification.<a title="" href="http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/363036/hair-dyeing.html#_ftn60">[60]</a> This is borne out
by the fact that he did not wish to do this before his was in <em>shidduchim</em>.<a title="" href="http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/363036/hair-dyeing.html#_ftn61">[61]</a></p>
<p>Others point out that his goal is not to dye his hair to look young, as he actually is young.<a title="" href="http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/363036/hair-dyeing.html#_ftn62">[62]</a> This may be even considered as a
<em>refuah</em> since not getting married because of his white hair will cause <em>
agmas</em> <em>nefesh</em>.<a title="" href="http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/363036/hair-dyeing.html#_ftn63">[63]</a> There is no
<em>geneivas</em> <em>daas</em> by dyeing his hair, since it is normal that men his age have black hair.<a title="" href="http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/363036/hair-dyeing.html#_ftn64">[64]</a></p>
<p>However, others say that his intent is to look younger, in which case dyeing one hair would not be allowed. Others say that it can be done through a non-Jew.<a title="" href="http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/363036/hair-dyeing.html#_ftn65">[65]</a></p>
<p>Another option is to shave off the white area<a title="" href="http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/363036/hair-dyeing.html#_ftn66">[66]</a> (if it is a small area and one will not look odd by doing so).</p>

<div><strong>A male who is in shidduchim might wish to dye some white hair so as not to alarm the potential girl he is dating. Is this permitted?</strong></div>
<div><strong><br>
</strong></div>
<div><strong>A--Many poskim permit this practice since his purpose is to improve his chance for marriage, not for beautification. (60) This is borne out by the fact that he did not wish to do this before his was in shidduchim. (61) Others point out that his
goal is not to dye his hair to look young, as he actually <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">is</span></em> young. (62) This may be even considered as a refuah since not getting married because of his white hair will cause agmas nefesh. (63) There
is no <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">geneivas daas</span></em> by dyeing his hair, since it is normal that men his age have black hair. (64) However, others say that his intent is to look younger, in which case dyeing one's hair would not be
allowed. Others say that it can be done through a non-Jew. (65) Another option is to shave off the white area (66) (if it is a small area and one will not look odd by doing so). Due to the different opinions one who has this question should consult with his
Rav. (67) <br>

<div>62. Others are not convinced that this is correct since who said because of the dyeing to black he will get married? maybe it is another reason and maybe someone will marry him with white hair (V’yan Dovid 1:124). See Ashrei Haish Y.D. 1:page 145:19.</div>
