The ruling on lengthening and straightening the hair at the barber

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It has become widespread among some of the committed young men here to let their hair grow until it reaches their shoulders, and they are seen going to barbershops to straighten and smooth their hair. Is this in accordance with the Sunnah, even though it is not the custom of the people of this country?

Answer:
This is like what we mentioned regarding following the location. This is a form of indulgence, coquetry, and imitating the disbelievers. It is not permissible to do this. Rather, he should take care of his own hair himself. He should take care of his hair himself and take the reward for it. One should not go around messing with his hair and leaving it like the hair of the disbelievers, with the war and the styling. Yes.
