Question
Shalom and blessings,
I wanted to ask: I really need a new wig, but at the moment, financially, I am unable to buy one.
I received an almost brand-new wig from someone who did not end up using it; the problem is that the wig is a top lace.
I wanted to ask what I can change/add to it so that it will be acceptable. (Even if I were to buy a new wig, I would be asking about the lace, because in any case I planned, with a new wig, to ask the rabbi in what way it is possible to wear lace.)
Again, I need a change with minimal cost, because as I said, I do not have the financial ability to spend much on this now.
Thank you very much!

The reason for the prohibition of a lace wig is the fact that it looks like the woman’s own hair.
It is clear to me that any wig stylist will be able to explain what is different in the construction of the wig that creates this appearance.
Once that difference is understood, the second question arises: is it possible to eliminate that difference which creates this appearance.
If such an option exists, then the modification will mean that it is no longer a lace wig, and it will be permitted to wear it.
