Hi,
Although the prohibitions of Tisha b’Av end with Tisha b’Av, the practices of the Nine Days – refraining from meat and wine, not bathing for pleasure, not laundering or wearing fresh clean clothing and not attending celebrations – continue until midday the next day.
This is because we are taught that the Beit haMikdash (Temple) burned until midday on the Tenth of Av.
[Note that there is an exception to this rule: As we have discussed, when Tisha b'Av occurs on a Saturday night and Sunday, Havdalah after Tisha b'Av is done with wine/grape juice.]
(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 558:1; Mishneh Berurah 558:3)
המצפה לישועה,
Mordechai
