Question
Is it all right to braid one’s Peyos?
Answer
In a place where it is not customary for men to braid their hair and it is customary for women to do so, braiding Peyos would not be allowed as it would come under the category of "Beged Isha" - a woman's type of dressing. On the other hand, if it is customary for small boys to braid Peyos, there is no problem.
