Question

Good evening, I would like to ask if it is permissible for a woman to use her own hair for a hair accessory for a wig? Thank you very much

Answer

Hello, 

It is permissible. Since it is detached from her, it does not have the status of a woman's hair. 

Source

Mishnah Berurah, Siman 75, S"K 15
And it implies there that even one's own hair that was cut and then attached to the head can also be lenient
