Reply To: Natural-Hair Sheitels Are Assur

1) The Minhag in most cities and towns in Europe and many Mid-East countries – until 150 years ago (give or take) – women covered their hair with a Maftachos.

2) The accepted minhag as of today – most Charedi women don a Pe’ah Nuchris.

Care to explain, and understand, how and why MOST went from “1” (covered their hair with a Maftachos) to “2” (women don a Pe’ah Nuchris)?

How/why/if that change was justified, unjustified or done due to a Shas Hadchak at the time of the change — that is no longer the case today.
