What is the ruling on a woman lengthening her hair, and how should she observe hijab and niqab to avoid the description "their heads are like the slanted humps of camels"?
It is permissible for a woman to lengthen her hair. Scholars have only discussed the ruling on cutting her hair.

Therefore, it is more cautious to avoid making a bun on top of the head.
