“So what people were calling chumras in the chumrah therad for many that is the halacha. an example is rav Elyashiv and Rav Ovadiah Yosef asuur wearing shaitels. The latter was listed as a chumra.”
This is an example of the problem. The fact is that the overwhelming majority of Ashkenazic halachic authorities hold that wigs are mutar l’chatchila al pi halachah. Yet you cite a particular machmir opinion held by two poskim and declare that THAT is the halachah, essentially denigrating those who follow the majority.
