[@dawnbell9433]

Unless you go to the country where the hair is sourced and buy it off a person's head than it is usually unethical in some way,number 1 it would be very expensive to buy European hair,especially blondes or redheads,I mean 4000.00 dollars for only the hair expensive and many times more than that,and then you must consider the expense of hand knotting a wig,China got into huge trouble for selling hand knotting done by children.Think the cost of a hyper realistic toupee and not just a hairline,I have been a hair stylist for 30 years and my next door neighbor who was a holocaust survivor taught me and her granddaughter to make wigs when we were both around 11,trust me most of them are not ethical most forget about the hand-tied front that can take two weeks or longer if it is a full-lace.Be it no illusion these are luxury wigs.

Unfortunately there is no regulation for that anywhere in the world so there is no way to know for sure, and let's be honest, knowing how profit is valued more than the well-being of people most of the time it will not be ethically sourced.

When she talks about the hair being Kosher, she’s referring to the fact that a lot of the human hair trade comes from Hindu temples where devotees cut their hair. It’s consensual, ethical and reliable. If her hair supply isn’t coming from there, where is she getting it from? Can she guarantee her suppliers are ethical?

[@ciaolife]

the women who tonsure their hair don't normally get paid though. I'm not sure it is a fair exchange? really open to exploitation when it's normally rural women who travel hundreds of miles to donate their hair as a holy rite in the hope their prayers will be answered and then their donation is capitalised

[@btsarmyforever3816]

@@ciaolife You speak from the point of aethiests. It's not just women but men also shave their heads or donate hair. The temple money is used to feed many ppl for free and use the money to give free religious studies. U look at it as capitalism. It is not. Also the giving up of hair is usually done only when the wish is fulfilled. If it's not then they won't give it up.

Same. I just can't. It makes no logical sense..cover your own hair, its for your husband but this other woman's hair thats made to look as natural as possible like your own hair can be shown..wut..typical weird religious loopholes

[@hanasheeva7563]

@@Lia-hd7rh great question, I’ll explain to the best of my ability: the reason religious Jewish women cover their hair after marriage doesn’t have anything to do with beauty / subtracting from the woman’s original natural beauty, in an effort to “ward off” other men. If anything , like you guys have aptly pointed out, wearing lace top wigs that look like their coming out of your head and are gorgeous only ADD to one’s beauty. So why do they wear them in the first place? Answer: because hair covering is about so much more than “for the husband”- Kabbalah (mystical law) tells us that (as we know scientifically), each strand of hair is actually hollow- and that after marriage, each of those strands of hair are blessed with lots and lots of brochos- blessings for the woman and her family. By covering up one’s hair, they are retaining that multitude of bounty from Hashem (God). I’m aware that this is an extremely lofty concept, and women who cover their hair post-marriage do so on their own terms(as this shaitel macher/wig seller stated, everyone covers their hair how THEY want to- either they wear a scarf, take some bangs out to make it look more natural. To each their own). Obviously no one’s forced to do it- I’d say 99% of orthodox Jewish women cover their hair because they see the tangible blessing it brings to their home. If you have any other questions please feel free

Happy to explain! As they say in the video, once the woman is married, her hair is a private thing. So she covers it. So let me ask you this... you probably don't walk around with your maracas out in the open, correct? Lol. Most of us don't! But would that stop you from wearing a beautiful top? Nah. This concept just adds something new to the parts of her body that are deemed private within Jewish law.

[@pleadthefifth]

So from what I know most “real human hair” wigs in urban salons get their hair from India. Indian religions have some rituals where a woman shaves her head. Then the Hindu temple gathers and sells the hair to the West. The Jewish lady in the video specifically mentioned they get their hair from China. I’m not exactly sure why the Chinese women shave their heads but they will generally not be doing it in a ritual fashion. It might actually ironically be from the Uighur Muslim women in concentration camps as well as the communist women who are poorly behaved so they get sent to basically a gulag but it’s called “vocational schooling”. Also a lot of poor Russian women will specifically grow and shave their heads for sale because their blonde hair is very coveted by certain types of people. The whole industry of real human hair wigs is kind of messed up in many ways.

And the Hindu priests then sell the donated hair to Chinese wig companies) That's why Jewish wigs are more expensive.

"Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness-with good works." why brother with modesty if it's all lost as soon as you put a braid in your hair or wear your engagement ring.

Please do not reduce one of the oldest belief systems in the world to idol worship nor disrespect an ancient ritual meant to demonstrate humility. Hair is an important symbol of feminine beauty and fertility in Hinduism, not to dissimilar to your belief in Judaism. That Hindu women are willing to part with it, not merely cover it, shows the magnitude of their devotion to their religion.

Well put.

[@debbiecohn6195]

“Idolatry is the worship of an idol or idols-objects or images, such as statues, that are worshipped as the representations of deities or gods” Idol worship is what it is. People who practice it should stand by it’s definition. To each their own:) Why would you think it’s wrong to call it what it is? Hindus worship idols (as an example) why pretend otherwise or be ashamed of it?🤔

It’s actually intentional with the majority of women who are Chasidic (though there are definitely Orthodox who are ok with it looking natural) but it’s sort of saying “yes I am covering” as opposed to the possibility of it potentially being one’s actual hair

The reason a woman covers her hair is NOT because of modesty ( if that were the case , single girls would to.) It’s because after she has a Jewish wedding - her hair is considered holy and separate . Which means it’s separate and only allowed to be seen by her husband . So it doesn’t matter what a woman covers her hair with , as long as it’s covered . It’s also important for a woman to feel and look beautiful. Every community have different customs on how they cover their hair.

Yeah, the whole covering your hair thing is based on hiding women from fallen angels who supposedly saw womens hair and found it erotic. So basically jews require hair covering to keep their women safe from angelic uh, interference. Seems kind of ridiculous to then make the covering actual hair. 😆

With the skill set and ability to create a wig, I don't understand why a woman can't provide her own hair initially if they are required to shave. Does she support these women?

[@odeleya1768]

A very small portion of Jews shave their head, it’s seen only in very extreme communities. People misinterpret it to be the norm, because of some shows that made it look like all Jews do these kinds of things. It’s not reality. In reality, it’s the norm for a woman to keep her hair and decide for herself whether or not she chooses to cover it.

[@isabrookbanks4118]

shaving of the head isnt common at all, think wayyyyyy smaller than you are thinking. Most just put their hair up under the wig but some cut it just for convienience.

Hair covering has a deeper meaning than “superficial” modesty. It isn’t to “avoid a male’s gaze” but rather to remind the married woman and her surrounding of her status as a wife. Of course in Judaism there’s the added aspect of modesty of the body which is really meant to cover up the body and not flaunt it for all to see. Hair covering is a completely different category
