Of course a sheitel is a valuable commodity and the right one can make a woman look fantastic, many times I have been amazed at the transformation a good sheitel can make.We want to look nice for our husbands and indeed many men hate tichels and snoods. But it is also nice for a husband to have a wife who looks good for him alone!!! I am not saying go out plain and simple, a nice sheitel/haircovering is always important, but our biggest duty and pleasure is to look good for our husbands. My husband before we married begged me never to cut my long hair short, so I wear a variety of scarves in the Israeli style, with make up and coordinating outfits etc for much of the time, sure for Shabbat and Simchas I get a lovely shevy sheitel out, but my own hair that my husband alone sees is in peak condition, thick, nicely coloured and for him alone. My daughters do the same, they do not look dowdy at all with their scarves, often getting compliments from strangers as to how to tie them up and where they can buy them from.
