I wasn’t going to post but I am being tempted…
Sheitels have definitely becom an issue these days. unfortunately there are many women out there that would NOT be covering their hair if not for nice shaitelach (I have a feeling our readership includes a number of those). I was speaking to one person that seriously had issues with covering hair (that was not her only issue but for now…) and she Baruch Hashem has chosen though to cover her hair (although not perfectly) with a very beautiful shaitel (her hair too was very nice.) Sometimes when I see her it makes me cringe that she wears the shaitel as she does but then I remind myself that she is covering her hair… a mitzvah she is not so excited about.
And taking a look at one aspect of the covering hair inyan, one of the reasons is for the Isha herself to have her hair tied back to be a constant reminder that she is not free for other men. Thus, whatever the covering it takes care of that aspect. I have to remind myself to be dan lkaf zchus when I see these shaitels that they are at least covering that area of the Mitzvah.
Many things that in past generations would not have been accepted as tznius have today in many circle been totally accepted and tznius. for men and for women. I think that each person needs to follow a Rav as to what is permitted or not for that individual.
