Jewish women wear wigs (sheitels) to adhere to the biblical requirement of covering their hair after marriage. This practice serves as both a public signal and a personal reminder of their marital status while upholding values of modesty.
To ensure compliance with Jewish law, many wigs today come with a hechsher (kosher certification). This certification guarantees that the hair used in the wigs does not originate from rituals considered idolatrous. The need for such certification became particularly important after a 2004 revelation that some sheitel wigs contained hair sourced from Hindu women during religious purification ceremonies—a practice that conflicts with Jewish biblical law.
By choosing kosher-certified wigs, Jewish women can fulfill their religious obligations while maintaining elegance and authenticity in their appearance.
