  1. One may not braid one's hair on Shabbat. [1]
  2. It is forbidden to comb one's hair on Shabbat. [2]
  3. It's permissible to spray deodorant on one's body (including hair) but not on one's clothing on Shabbat. If one first sprayed deodorant on one's body it's permissible to put on a new shirt even though the deodorant will absorbed with the shirt as long as one doesn't have any particular interest about the smell in one's shirt. [3]
  4. One may look in a mirror on Shabbat if the edges of the mirror aren’t sharp enough to cut hair. [4]
  5. If a shoelace came out of the shoe on Shabbat one may thread it back through the laces. If the shoelace was never threaded into the laces one should not do so on Shabbat unless the lace is a strange different color to the extent that it's certain that it will be removed from the shoe later or if one does so in an abnormal way like lacing it through the top laces and it's certain that one will fix it later. This is all assuming that it's easy to lace the string through the holes. [5]
