Wig and hair extension
Asalamu Alaikum!
I’m a content writer. We have a client that her business is related to wigs(made of a human hair), extensions and hair accessories.
Based on research, fake hair and extension are not allowed in Islam. What’s your take in writing an article regarding those topics? Is it permissible?
I’m so confused. Please shed some light. Thank you so much.

It is permissible to use weavers or wigs made from animal’s hair besides pig or even synthetic materials. Noteworthy that the usage of human hairs are impermissible.
