# Some communities have a practice to cut their hair after their wedding. Even though the hair is going to be cut it isn't a chatzitza when they go to the mikveh before the wedding.<ref>Chatom Sofer 195 holds that the hair isn't a chatzitza even though it is going to be cut (and should be a chatzitza according to the Raavan 326 cited by Shach 198:25) since it isn't going to be cut prior to the wedding. Igrot Moshe YD 2:88 argues with his proof but agrees with his position for another reason; since the hair is adorns a woman even though she's going to cut it because of a minhag it isn't like it is cut already.</ref> | # Some communities have a practice to cut their hair after their wedding.

# A woman who has dandruff should wash her hair and remove what is normal to remove before going to the mikveh.<ref>Badei Hashulchan 198:356 explains that since a woman cleaned her hair to remove as much dandruff as she would normally remove it is considered like she doesn't care and isn't a chatzitza. If she finds a large piece of dandruff in her hair after tevilah and normally would have been concerned to remove it she should remove it and go to the mikveh again.
