1748 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «لَبَّدَ رَأْسَهُ بِالْعَسَلِ»

[1] Mention of this preceded in the chapters on purification. They used to apply a thick substance, like resin or gum from plants — for example natural marsh mallow, or other than it — to their hair, under certain circumstances, like the performance of Hajj and Umrah and other than that. They say that this was to help keep the hair together, to prevent it being consumed with dust and sand, and also to prevent lice and the like.
Commentary
Long hair may be kept together by some means to prevent it from getting too dirty during the journey. This is called Talbid and it is Sunnah.
