unfortunately we live in America where people are caught up in shtusim. the yeshivish guys with their tight pants and pointy shoes and the chasidim with their supper tall crown on the shtreimel and peyos perms. Did you all actually know that something like a shtreimel has to be a certain style all chasidish chasanim today want a super tall shtreimel with at least a 4 inch crown( the pointy part at the top). When I got married recently i specifically got a lower shtreimel so not to buy into all the shtusim and how ridiculous is a peyos perm all the barber shops in Boro Park offer them. to curl the peyos nicely is actually a newer thing earlier chasidim did not do that.If you look at any pictures of Satmar Rebbe ZT”L you will notice his peyos were not curled. Klausenberger Rebbe ZT”L also and a lot of others. A lot of chasidisher rabunim don’t curl their peyos on Shabbos. their is also a shaila of boneh to curl hair (OC. 303 i think :26)
