Question:
A questioner asks: Does shortening the hair have a specific amount of hair that must be taken, or is taking some of it sufficient?
Answer:
For a woman, shortening is the length of a finger’s nail from the tips of the hair, the length of a finger’s nail; this is for the woman. As for the man, shaving is better. And if he shortens by cutting from the hair from all the hair on his head, from all sides, then this is sufficient, and it has no limit, it has no defined limit. One can cut with the clippers today, the degrees: one, zero, one, two, three; there is no harm in that.
