I am a shaitel macher. I have been for over 18 years. I can attest to the back room corruption of this industry. The hair retailed to the public is often not what it’s labeled to be. The rabbanim know it. There is no public outcry by our leaders ( this was told to be directly by several rabbanim) because they feel that the Klal isn’t “up to” hearing the emes. They fear putting info out that they think the public cannot handle. It’s no mitzvah to do so. However there are many women who are “up to” hearing the emes and are very capable of modifying their current practices if given the opportunity. I am B”H one of those women. It’s a hard journey. It’s not for everyone. Making the info public will give an opportunity to the Klal to show their strength and resolve to grow. It’s not about “assuring,” it’s about giving chizuk and credit to those who are willing to be moser nefesh and make small or large changes to that end. Life here is a journey of growth. Not everyone is at the same stop, but keeping an open mind an accepting info even if it’s not what you are up to is part of propelling ourselves forward. May we all have the zechus to see our opportunities for growth without stepping on someone else’s along the way.
