Hairstyles for Muslim women

Q: I have a question regarding hairstyles of women.

1. What hairstyles does the shariah command us to make and what type of hairstyles to abstain from?

2. Is it compulsory for women to style their hair in such a way that the hair falls through the sides and the mid line of the scalp is seen?

3. Is their any punishment for not keeping the mid line of the front scalp shown?

Wearing a wig

Q: My husband lost all his hair to the point where he is bald. His not even 30 yet. However he wants to use a weave on his own head so it looks like he has hair. As far as I'm aware it's not allowed in Islam as it uses glue and wig. However my husband seems to think it is allowed. Could you please clarify.

Women cutting their hair

Q: What is the evidence that women cannot cut their hair? I have searched online for evidence but have not across anything clear. Can a women trim their hair that is below the buttocks (such that it remains still below the buttocks and does not resemble men)?
