I was told that a scarf does not properly cover the hair like a wig even though I wear my scarf very tight and ver modestly. If you examine closely around my ear you may see a hairs breath which compared to a "glam wig" is not considered as covered . Considering what is at stake, blessings for my family, I feel selfish when I want to put a scarf on even at home, I considered shaving my head so that I could wear a scarf and do right by my family:) !!!!

This is funny because I'm from Jax, Fla., too, and I have wanted to say the exact same thing. I don't get the wig thing. It makes no sense to me. I have been wearing a sheital, scarve, for about 2 yrs. and believe you me, it is HOT HOT HOT (and humid) here in the summer, and most of the year. All the required covering up in this climate could, in fact indanger your health. I spent an entire year fighting ear infections. So, what DO we do if we want to adhere to modesty? There are times when I had to decide between passing out and being, well, "modest". I'm sure Hashem understands, but what is the answer?

I’ve been wearing head covering for a little over 10 years. Recently started to look for a job and purchased a wig – because of all the stupid question I kept getting during interviews. Since I now had a wig I began to use it for Shabbat. Thing is I really do not feel covered, and was asked if I had stopped covering. I now wear the wig for work, but wear my snoods, scarves, for Shabbat. Don’t understand why Chabad ladies wear wigs. Most are beautiful human hair wigs that look so natural; it looks as if they are not covered. I do not want to be disrespectful but really wish to understand why wigs and not head coverings?

Absolutely loved her teaching, so needed today especially for the young and older women.

Personaly I find when I wear a wig it is very difficult to be really active and it is a distraction for me when I am playing with the kids or cleaning or working out/ it's hot and confining but obviously looks very glam/ but I on the other hand really like wearing a scarf! But I am told over and over that covering with a wig is a bigger blessing!! So what do I wear, yes I wear a wig!

We cover even if our wigs are lovelier than real hair because WE know it is covered. It's like an invisible border.

Anonymous -- as I understand it, tznius and head-covering are two separate mitzvot, so a woman does not cover her hair *because* of tznius, but because of a separate commandment "dat Moshe".
