Foreign wig

Hello Rabbi!
Based on the methods that believe that it is halachically permissible for a woman to wear a non-Jewish wig, is there any halachic restriction on the length of the wig, and if so, what is it?
The topic is important to me, thank you very much!

I don’t think there is a limit. Those who forbid believe that it resembles a woman’s hair and therefore is not useful as a hair covering. As long as it resembles it, they will forbid it, regardless of length. And those who permit it permit it at any length. Only the general boundaries of modesty remain (that it should not be anything very conspicuous).

In the Bible, is it possible to define precisely what is “something very prominent” as there is an attempt to do in Haredi seminaries?
