Sheitels – Can we stop the madness ?

This opinion has no direct connection to the Halachic issue. I am simply expressing 50 years of frustration, anger, incredibiilty and hopelessness how much time, money, attention and vapidness our Haredi culture devotes to the search for the most non-wig looking wig in the universe. We are the hopeless victims of a fashion that has zero connection to our Mesora, to our values and to the service of Hashem. If I could be paid 1 dollar an hour for the tens thousands of hours my wife and married daughters spend on the phone in constant consultation and running around town adjusting: baby hair, tints, lace?, adding curls, Indian hair, falls, sewins, designers, Ich Ves Vos, I would be the biggest Gvir on the planet. LADIES is this why Hashem chose us as a holy nation? Did you ever see a 75 year old woman spend $3500 or more to try to look like she is 50 ? Who is she fooling? It doesn’t work .. She looks 75 with a completely inappropriate wig plopped on her head. Is there any brave Ashkenazi lady out there ready to defy the trend and put on a Tichel for her next wedding? Maybe she”ll even see that her kids and her husband are finding a new connection to Avodas Hashem due to her new found modesty.
