The article fails to address a reality that has been studied and documented in both a secular and religious context. For most men today, a woman’s hairstyle (whether real hair or a sheitel) is not a primary factor in triggering inappropriate thoughts. That is not mean deny the fact that from a torah perspective, it is a significant tzinius concern. However, the large percentage of men cite to overly-revealing and form fitting clothing and a woman’s overall demeanor, as the most relevant factors in attracting attention. That MAY be a factor in why there is less attention to hairstyles in sheitels and why even frum women often use overly-styled sheitels as an allowable form of expressing their individuality.
