If the sheitel is the right fit it can be pretty comfortable-at least comfortable enough to wear when you go outside. and who said that your sheitel has to be as long as your hair was? the length adds so much weight which makes it hard to wear. there are other options-pony sheitels or a cute shorter cut. its not either my long beautiful Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969286267159802571.post-54155695157737640592010-07-07T12:44:06.055-04:002010-07-07T12:44:06.055-04:00The first year I was married, I was pregnant and c...The first year I was married, I was pregnant and commuting to NYC from Crown Heights every day, in the summer (my third trimester!). <br /><br />I thought that I was either going to die of discomfort (C"V") from my lovely long sheitel, which I was probably going to ruin from all of the sweating and pinning up I was doing to it.<br /><br />Then I met Paula Young.

I meant that it is easier to wear a tichel and feel comfortable wearing it when you are surrounded by other women who do the same. In saying that it is a fashion statement, I meant that women like to purchase cute ones that other women like and in turn will purchase. So it becomes fashion.

It feels so unnatural, some mitvahs feel so 'organicly' right and covering my hair with a $3,000 net with strings and clips just feels like an awkward burden.

Aside from it being more comfortable it's almost a fashion statement to wear a very pretty designed tichel. I live in a sparsely populated town where the frum Jews rarely bump into each other at the grocery store.

However there are other ways to look at this dilemna. The first is - yes if your own hair is longer than the 3 tefakim (1/2 hand) rule- than it is very cumbersome.
