DEUT1126 It is negative commandment that a man should not wear a woman's garment as Scripture says, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment [this verse]. "A woman's garment" denotes clothing and ornaments which are widely known in the city to be specifically for a woman. So too, if a man plucks white hairs from among the dark, from his head or his beard--even one hair; or if he dyes his hair dark -- even if he dies one white hair -- by any one of these acts he violates this [prohibition]. By the laws of the Sages a man is not to remove the hair of his armpits or his pubic hair. Whoever removes it from a place [on the body] where none but women [generally] remove it, is to be beaten with whiplashes of disobedience. It is permissible, however, to remove the hair of other limbs and parts, everywhere, with a scissors.
