It is very sad when people make such insensitive comments to one another. My husband calls it diarhea of the mouth. All I can say is that if you can find it in your heart to forgive this person for this comment it will be a tremendous zechus for you on Yom Hadin.
I wear both shaitels and snoods, but I admire my friends who only wear snoods and no shaitels (even to weddings). They are examples to me what true modesty is, and they look lovely.
