bear extremely long hair which runs over their chest like a

or buns similar to women. This is all impermissible and

20. It is Mustaab for men to turn the white hairs of the beard
and head reddish or yellowish in colour; for this purpose
Mend [Henna] can be used.
21. One should not sleep with henna pasted in the beard or
hair. According to a akm, sleeping with henna pasted in
hair causes the heat of the head to descend into the eyes,
and this can be detrimental to the eyesight. This advice of

22. The whiteness of the hairs of the moustache, the bottom lip,
and the edges of the beard of those people who apply henna
can become apparent after only a few days and this is not nice
to look at. Therefore, if you cannot repeatedly colour the
entire beard then at least try to apply a small amount of
henna on these places where the whiteness becomes apparent.
