BPT, don’t be so quick to say that a tichel is the way to go. For some women, they may feel frumpy and unattractive in one, while a sheitel makes them feel pretty and boosts their self esteem. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m totally opposed to spending even $1000 on anything for my head, but I did recently spend $600 on a sheitel for my son’s Bar Mitzvah and hated it – I felt pressured to buy it and it was not a good color for me nor was the cut what I wanted. I was so unhappy that I ended up changing sheitelmachers (after being friends with and going to the same one for more than 10 years) and I bought a different sheitel from the new sheitelmacher and she cut it just how I wanted and I made sure to try on a few to make sure that the color was good. I’m very happy with the new one and it means that I ended up spending more than $1000 in 6 months for 2 different sheitels, but I figured my self esteem was worth it.
