How to Select a Sheitel Wig: Guidelines for Modesty

When it comes to sheitel wigs, maintaining modesty is key within Jewish tradition. These wigs, worn by married Jewish women, symbolize the importance of covering one's hair. But what makes a sheitel wig truly modest? In this guide, we'll walk you through the essentials of choosing a sheitel wig that combines style and adherence to modesty, so you can feel confident and beautiful. Here are some important guidelines when selecting your sheitel wig.

Embrace the Natural Look:

• Opt for a sheitel wig that resembles natural hair, both in texture and color.
• Say no to styles that scream "fake" or look exaggerated.

Length:

• Opt for a sheitel wig that falls within the range of modest lengths, typically around the shoulders or slightly above. 
• Skip the long and flowing sheitel wigs that may draw unnecessary attention.
• Many religious leaders advise against wearing long sheitel wigs, even when the hair is bound back.

Colors:

• Select colors that blend seamlessly with your skin tone and complement your natural features.
• Avoid unnatural  or vibrant shades that attract attention

Style:

• Go for an elegant and refined sheitel wig style that suits your face shape.
• Skip the flashy or overly elaborate designs, as simplicity shines.
• Avoid shetel wigs with lopsided looks. Steer clear of difference in style on each side.
• No "window-sheitels" with a hole to mix your own hair with the wig.
  
• Choose a wig with a moderate volume that appears natural and avoids an exaggerated or "big hair" look.
• Select a wig with a texture that resembles natural hair, whether straight, wavy, or curly. Avoid overly sleek or heavily styled textures.

Hairline:

• Look for a sheitel wig with a realistic hairline that blends seamlessly with your own hairline.
• A natural-looking hairline enhances the overall modesty of the wig.
• If the style is worn away from the face, lace front wigs are recommended.

Fit

• Ensure that the sheitel wig provides full coverage of your own hair, leaving no strands exposed. This ensures complete adherence to the principle of hair covering.
• Ensure your sheitel wig fits comfortably and securely.
• Avoid anything too bulky or out of proportion.

Maintenance:

• Take good care of your sheitel wig, keeping it clean, groomed, and neatly styled.
• Remember, neatness enhances modesty.

Community:

• Consider the specific guidelines and customs of your community or religious authority when selecting a sheitel wig.
• Seek advice from knowledgeable individuals who can provide guidance based on your community's standards.
