Question

My hair is passed my hips. When I cut my hair when coming out of ihraam, I cut it bent so the end of my hair is uneven. Would it be permissable to straighten it so its 1 length. The purpose is not to imitate kuffar or fashion, because the uneven hair can sometimes look unattractive.

Answer

Only trim the portion that is uneven.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
