Question
Hello, esteemed Rabbi, I have a few questions regarding the laws of head covering with a wig: a. Is there a preference for a wig over a scarf? b. What is the permissible length, as I have seen writings that say up to the shoulder, and I have seen a large community of God-fearing individuals who wear longer wigs? c. What is the ruling on lace or ribbon wigs? d. Are highlights allowed in a wig, and if so, what are the permissible limits? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello
a. There is no preference.
b. The halacha is up to the shoulder, and unfortunately, the trial is difficult.
c. Transparent lace is forbidden.
d. Only delicate and modest highlights, not coarse or prominent.
