Kosher Wigs – Sheitels…
Kosher wigs, also known as sheitels, they are wigs made specifically for observant Jewish women. The word “kosher” refers to the guidelines set by Jewish law that dictate what is acceptable for Jewish women to wear. These guidelines are based on the teachings of the Torah and aim to preserve the modesty and dignity of women.
One of the main requirements for a wig to be considered kosher is that it must be made from real hair. Additionally, the hair used in kosher wigs must come from a woman who has not used it to violate the laws of modesty. This means that the hair must come from a woman who has not cut her hair in a way that would reveal her neck, chest, or arms, or who has not styled her hair in a way that is considered immodest.
Another requirement for a kosher wig is that it must be styled in such a way that it covers the entire head, including the hairline and the neck. This is to ensure that the woman’s natural hair is not exposed, as this would violate the laws of modesty. The wig must also be made in a way that it cannot be removed easily, as this would also be considered immodest.
