Commentary
These artificial hairs are named wigs or toupees nowadays, the beauty parlors are encouraging these, and moreover there are many other shameless and indecent acts committed, which are unlawful and strictly illegal according to Islamic traditions and Islamic culture, for example, the growing of fingernails to extraordinary lengths, or using fake nails in order for them to appear longer and to then adorn the nails with thick, rich and brightly colored polishes. These tasks are all performed in imitation to the non-believers while a very clear prohibition of imitating the disbelievers exists in the Shari'ah.
