Question

Hello, In the Mishnah, Shabbat, Chapter 6, Mishnah 5, it is stated that a woman is prohibited from going out into the public domain with a wig. Is this the Halachic ruling?

Answer

Hello 

The concern with jewelry is that she might remove it and carry it four cubits in the public domain. 

However, with a wig in our time, if she removes it, her hair will be exposed, so there is no concern that she will remove it in the public domain.
