So ALL sheitels are untznius and come from gehenon? Hmmm. Reb. Zahava Brounstien wore a human hair sheitel. Does anyone here think she was untzniyus? Joseph? Mazal?

I think that tzniyus has been hashed and rehashed many times on YWN. I think it basically boils down to the custom in your comunity i.e. Sephardic, Chassidic or Litvish and how frum you are.

I have many relatives in the sheital business and I can tell you that very natural sheitals have been with us for over 30 years. Sheitels have been around even longer. I have a picture of my grandmother back in the 1930s in Czeckeslovakia with a sheitel covered snood. Not the kind we wear now, but the style of snood worn in the ’20s and ’30s (contrary to the popular notion, snood is an English word and many women wore them in the past).

I think every person should follow their LOR and their Rav and stop insulting people who might have a different Rav.

Mazal, you are oviously passionate on this subject and you seem to be knowledgeable and sincere but posting these long posts one after another after another, maybe you should write for a magazine or write a book.
