What is the ruling on tying the hair back in a small bun in front of women only?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on tying the hair back in the shape of a small bun, in order to protect the hair from frizzing and to preserve its color and shine from the air? I leave it loose when I go out of the house so that it does not make the head look large, and I only do it in front of women, or inside the school. Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Let it hang loose always, and do not put it in the shape of a bun, not even in the house or in front of women, because this causes women to imitate you. So, arrange it, comb it, and let it hang loose rather than tied up, because if you tie it up, even if it is in the house, it becomes a cause for your daughters to imitate you and for women to imitate you, and they will take it as an excuse for themselves or be lenient in this matter. Yes, especially since she is a teacher with a degree, or because the neighbors' women listen to her, she becomes a role model for others.
