The answer

The jurists have agreed on the prohibition of attaching human hair to a woman's hair, based on the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) saying: "Allah has cursed the one who attaches hair and the one to whom hair is attached, and the one who plucks eyebrows and the one whose eyebrows are plucked." As for attachment with non-human hair, there is a difference of opinion. Ibn Qudamah preferred its permissibility due to the absence of deception or the impurity of the hair. Al-Nawawi said that tying hair with colored silk threads and the like, which do not resemble hair, is not forbidden. Therefore, it is permissible for a woman to braid her hair with threads that do not resemble human hair, and it is preferred to avoid black to ensure there is no deception.
