perhaps you should ask if there is a problem with wearing ANY sheitel. i would contend that there is very little tznius when a woman wears a sheitel and i think most women (deep down) would agree with me
to apushatayid,
the point that i am trying to make is wearing a sheitel in most cases defeats the purpose of t’zeus. there was an ad in several of the frum papers several months ago that said in part ” your sheitel can be so good that noone needs to know that you are covering your hair” is this what we as frum yiddin are striving for? we see many times that people are complaining that we are influenced by the “goishie vert” in terms of have we act and think, etc. i find that sheitels are a perfect example of this. the gedolim of previous generations would most likely look aghast at the current state of affairs.
to apushatayid,
i feel that we should be dealing with a total package. we should not only be talking about makeup when sheitels often times draw much more attention to the woman, especially to the younger women who are “in the parsha” and wear the natural hair cuts. these are often so good, that one cannot tell that the hair is being covered. my sister on more than one occasion was approached by someone at a chasunah and asked if she “was bizy”.
pac-man states that the woman should dress to her husband’s likes in the house and b’tuah outside the house. if that is true, why is it that many to most wowen would not be caught dead outside without a sheitel (which in many cases is anything but tzuisdig) and find no problem with putting on a snood (which we know is not as flattering) as soon as she comes home?! it would seem to me that the opposite should be the norm.
