Question
In light of the rabbinic ruling that it is forbidden to buy a lace-front wig whose main purpose is to make the hairline in front look natural,
my question is: is it permitted to buy a lace-front sheitel and add hair in the form of bangs?
The reason for buying it is that this is the only type of wig sold in our area (abroad).
Is there a concern with a lace-front wig because of the scattering of the hairs in the main part of the wig, or is the entire prohibition only because of the appearance from the front?
Thank you.
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
If after the added hair (bangs) it is still recognizable as a wig, it is permitted.
