Some About Wig

ou are not unaware that the orthodox Jewish women must not show their hair outside the private sphére, home, and they have to hide their hair, cover the head dice that cross the threshold of their home.
This custom is particularly relevant Sephardic women from Tunis, Morocco, and Algeria.

For Ashkenazi women obligation remains the same but otherwise lived.
Indeed, a distant custom requires women to shave their heads on their wedding day.
This practice, first tribal view, was only in order that they are not worried by the practices of droit de seigneur rife in these countries of Eastern Europe, on the day of their marriage, and following cover their heads with a scarf.

The arrival of the wig in the late 1800s, made, one suspects, followers, a priori improbable, but enthusiastic!

If the obligation to cover her head was met could we truncate the scarf for the wig?

Thus, these women asked their rabbi authorization to replace the scarf with a wig, arguing that it was much more flattering to my mind it was not the right argument-.

Should be remembered? Cover their heads or shave the head has only one goal does not turn heads.

It seems that the response was not immediate which enabled them, waiting to replace the scarf with the wig. Thus the customs have the force of law.

Habits were already well established when finally the response of the Council of Wise reaches them, she was not disappointment.

Indeed, the latter gave his consent for wearing wigs but with the obligation to cover the wig by the scarf!
