Question

please tell me where in the books is it written that women are permitted to wear wigs. as far as i know according to all the great sages wigs are not permisable. there was only one time way back when that was made out of sheep wool. today the wigs look so real one does not see the difference between hair and wig. is this a tzniut problem?

Look in Igros Moshe Even Haezer Chelek 2 Siman 12 and Ohr Yitzhak Siman 3 - It is not a tzniut problem, even if it is human hair. CYA
