When I lived in Qatar I was told it was against (some interpretations of) the Muslim faith to dye your hair it’s natural color because it was a sign of vanity so when men went grey they would typically dye their beards and sometimes hair orange.
I never verified this and I’m not an expert but it’s what I was told so take this with a ChatGPT size grain of salt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t think Muslims do that, but some Orthodox Jews do. And yes, it’s very silly, as are most of the loopholes they use around the over 600 Biblical laws they feel they must follow.
Rule lawyering doesn’t really take you that far regarding this issue because wigs are explicitly forbidden and hair extensions that try to imitate actual hair are forbidden, and the people using them are cursed. The hair extension rule, according to most interpretations applies to all kinds of materials that are attached to the hair and look like it, so maybe you can just not attach it to your hair directly, but I can’t see how that might help.

Most interpretations forbid dying it black specifically. It’s recommended that white hair be dyed with henna, which is orange.
Like the ladies that can’t show their hair in public so they buy a wig, made of some other woman’s hair, to wear over their own hair.

I respect that kind of rule lawyering.

Cursed, but sexy. Worth it?
