And how do you know OOmis is wrong? She claims she knows such women! “

I don’t CLAIM anything. I know many such women. They feel their wigs fit better and more sleekly with their hair cropped very short. Personally I find their hair to be very mannish, but that is none of my business. No need to get excited about it. I don’t disagree with you. You have no idea how many women are more concerned with the appearance of their shaitel than the appearance of their own hair (and I am not getting into a discussion of how tzniusdig that may or may not be). I never said they were doing it for halachic reasons. but the OP was why some married women shave their hair off. This is one reason that I know to be fact, based on what the women themselves have told me, though their hair is not completely shaved, but rather very closely-cut.
