Hair simulation has become more popular in recent years because it is cheaper and gives faster results compared to other hair applications. Patients who want to have this procedure, which has recently become widespread, naturally have a few questions in mind. One of them is undoubtedly the question “Does hair simulation pass ablution?”.

First of all, hair simulation is not a type of tattoo. Technically, Hair Simulation application can be described as permanent makeup. There are 2 most prominent features that distinguish Hair Simulation from tattooing; 1 – The process performed in hair simulation takes place in the top layer of the skin called epidermis in medical language. In terms of depth, the process penetrates about 2mm deep into the visible part of our scalp. In tattooing, the process takes place in the lower layers of the skin, which we call the dermis, at a depth of approximately 6mm.

2 – Another basic feature is that tattoo paints are obtained from heavy metals and are permanent for life. The dyes used in Hair Simulation are mineral-based dyes that pass water under the skin. In short, the Hair Simulation process, which is made with these dyes obtained from the colors of minerals that are beneficial to the human body, has no benefit to human health, and there is no drawback while performing ablution.

We have explained that hair simulation is ablution, so is hair simulation permissible?

In the content on the www.islamqa.org page, which answers Islamic opinions and questions, which is world famous and accepted by the vast majority of the Islamic world, about Hair Simulation; To a question (See Question no. 8904): “Therefore, if what is mentioned in the question is something that is not permanent, then it is not such a tattoo and it does not change the creation of Allah.” He states that there is no religious objection to hair simulation.

Because hair simulation is not done with a permanent dye and is not a permanent procedure. Hair Simulation process disappears over time between 3 and 5 years.
