Ventilated skin in a wig

Question

Hello, honorable Rabbi,
I wanted to ask whether it is permissible to wear a ventilated-skin wig?

Answer

Hello and blessings. 

The wig must be recognizable as not being the hair itself. 

Wigs such as “transparent lace” do not look like a wig, and are forbidden. 

Wigs made with other techniques require assessment as to whether it is still recognizable that this is a wig, or whether it looks like her own hair.
