Mamele, Poskim, at times, critisize minhagim despite the fact that they are Yiddishe minhagim. I think this one is an extreme one. Most men are not on the madreigah to put up with it. It was especially true in the era of shvach sheitels. And even though the Chasam Sofer did not condemn it, I remain with my opinin. The Chazal were very concerned with the wife’s appearance in the eyes of her husband.
