wow WaitingforMoshiach I like your thread. Very good post. I myself go with a shpitzl by the way.
Funny story, my husband who works with a goyim was once approached by one of these men from Sri Lanka or India. He says in his unrefined English: Yeah, hey you know our women each year cut their hair to give to our gods in our temple then we sell it and your women buy it they make nice wig yeah. you know?
My husband was not shocked even though this was AFTER the mass sheital hysteria of 2004. Rather he was deeply saddened that Rabbonim have not yet taken a stand against the human hair sheital. WHY?
1. Its impossible to properly supervise ENTIRLELY the sheitals production from the time the hair is cut from the womans head until final product, thus rendering any hechsher invalid.
2. How many Europeans do you know of grow their hair for industry profits? …um…none.
3. Fact is its the low class Eastern Indian and sri lankan idol worshippers.
4. Unfortunatley some frum people want their looks at any cost. And giving up the sheital is a big part of it which they are not willing to come to terms with.
