To all who claim that sheitels of the passed were ugly, stiff didn’t look real. …. I was born in the USA in 1920 , I had a close family members wedding in Europe in 1933 we traveled the whole family together to prewar Europe ( de alte heim) my mother a”h always had her hair covered which was not the norm in America at the time as I’m sure you all know. However in Europe we knew that every one was so frum so when we got there and I saw the rebbitzin from that local shte tel (a very chashuv family & a tsadeikes) I was shocked I remember asking my mother a”h, how is it that she is wearing her own hair ?? My mother answered me that she was wearing a sheitel . I remember like today all the women at that wedding all had sheitels that can easily compare to today’s sheitels, besides the fact that then short was in style but they looked real & were gorgeous . & many chasuveh Rabunim & roshei yeshiva attended that wedding (my father was a considered wealthy, the gevir from America) so don’t make it sound like this is new to this generation.
