A'isha reported that a woman from the Ansar married her daughter who had lost her hair because of illness. She came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and said: Her husband wants that false hair should be aaded to her head. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The woman who adds false hair has been cursed.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
It is understood from this hadith that it is not permissible to engage in non-shari‘ah-compliant beautification in order to please the husband. Nowadays, so-called enlightened women perform many non-shari‘ah acts for artificial beauty that are attractive to men. Among these is the use of artificial hair wigs. This is prohibited because such acts are done by immoral and shameless women, and it is also tantamount to altering the creation of Allah.
(2)
In any case, it is understood from this hadith that if the husband commands something contrary to the shari‘ah, the woman should not obey him. In such circumstances, she will not incur any sin, nor will this act be considered as disobedience to the husband.
Wallahu al-musta‘an.
