The answer

Wearing a wig is forbidden, but there is no harm in buying a wig made of non-human hair to practice haircuts and styles and to photograph them, provided that it does not involve imitating disbelieving or immoral women. As for human hair, it is not permissible to sell it, buy it, or use it, due to its sanctity and dignity.
