[Avodah] More on Married Women Should Not Wear Wigs

[M Cohen]

RYL writes ..I can only wonder what Rav Feinstein, zt"l, would say about 
permitting a married woman to wear a human hair wig that is virtually 
impossible to tell is a wig and that is more beautiful and attractive than
the woman's natural hair.

I can't help but think that the current minhag haposkim to be lenient 
(against that which appears s/ be asur because of maaris ayin, etc), 
at least partially stems from the fact that we want to encourage/make it
easier for them in 
this difficult and uncomfortable mitzvah.

I continue to be impressed when married baalai tshuvos (as part of their
'process of return') 
accept upon themselves this mitzvah.

(especially when how one looks is such an important part of today's culture
and feminine human nature)
