1988. It was narrated that Asmā' said: "A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'My daughter is going to get married, and she had the measles and her hair has fallen out. Can I put extensions in her hair?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Allāh has cursed the one who does hair extensions and the one who has that done.'" (Sahih)
1988 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ، قَالَتْ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ ابْنَتِي عُرَيِّسٌ، وَقَدْ أَصَابَتْهَا الْحَصْبَةُ فَتَمَرَّقَ شَعْرُهَا، فَأَصِلُ لَهَا فِيهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْوَاصِلَةَ، وَالْمُسْتَوْصِلَةَ»

Despite the excuse, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not allow her to add artificial hair, even though the adornment for the pleasure of the husband is a religious demand. It informs us that this prohibition is not of that of dislike, instead it is a definite unlawful thing. The curse on it is also a proof of its total prohibition, because a curse is not spelt out just for something disliked.
