How long can someone’s hair be until it’s considered a Chatzitzah for Tefillin?

 

  1. If the hair obstructs the tefillin from sitting comfortably on the head,
  2. If there is hair from the sides of the head combed over the spot where the tefillin would be.
  3. If one didn’t take a haircut for three months.

Hair combed backward is not a problem for the Bayis, but It is still a problem for the knot in the back.
