What is the ruling on cutting hair for adornment, knowing that it does not involve imitating men?

Question:
What is the ruling on cutting hair for adornment, even though it does not involve imitating men?

Answer:
What I see is that this is not permissible because there is no need for it, and adornment is achieved by keeping the hair, not by cutting it. This is in addition to the imitation of disbelieving women and non-Muslims that accompanies this custom, because this cutting was not known except through the path of disbelievers or the women of disbelievers. As for the women of Muslims, the known practice was to keep their hair, adorn themselves with it, and fix it, and this is the known practice. However, cutting hair for the sake of lightening it or for treatment, such as when a woman, for example, needs to cut it to lighten it or because she cannot afford to fix it due to her poverty, there is no harm in that, as the women of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or some of the women of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did after his death. Yes, may Allah reward you with good and do you good.
