Is it permissible for a Muslim woman to trim her hair provided she exposes her hair only to her husband?

Answer

It is not permissible for a female to cut or trim her hair. However, trimming her hair to come out of Ihram from Umrah and Hajj is an exception to the general prohibition. (Shaami vol.6 pg.406; HM Saeed)

And Allah Taala Knows Best.
