Question
Hello,
Are all wigs permitted, or are there standards for a Jewish wig?
Answer
Hello
There are several parameters for the kashrut of a wig.
A. Modesty. Like any garment, the wig must be modest and not provocative. This is reflected in the length, design, color, and more.
B. A head covering should appear as a covering and not as the woman's own hair. Therefore, a wig that cannot be distinguished is forbidden. [For example, transparent lace].
C. Kashrut. There is an issue with hair that comes from idol-worship temples in India, so it is necessary to ensure the kashrut of the hair.
