"#Sheitel: Beauty in the Hidden, an insightful #documentary, takes a deep dive into this complex topic. It explores the unexpectedly wide-ranging cultural, religious and deeply personal significance of hair covering among #Orthodox and #Hasidic #women — from #Miami to #Jerusalem; from #NewYork to #LosAngeles; from #Toronto and #Montreal to, of all places, #Halifax, #NovaScotia, #director #LyndaMedjuckSuissa’s home base. (Her first #film, Camp Kadimah—The Story of Our Lives, examined the history and ongoing impact of a well-known #Canadian #Jewish summer day camp.)

In Sheitel, her sophomore effort, she reveals how #wigs, #scarves and other #hair coverings serve not only as symbols of faith and tradition, but also political identity and female empowerment. The #movie confronts widespread misconceptions and stereotypes — including my own parochial thoughts on the subject — and also offers a rare look into the global #wig industry."

There's a guy over the way that reminds me of "syrupy Sid", a guy that lived down from my Mum & Dad who was an ex-fireman with what I always thought were a selection of wigs on his head as on certain days he just wore a baseball cap and no hair could be seen at all below that cap line so I used to imagine this was wig-rest or wig wash day.
Incredibly kitsch house and garden that Syrupy had but with a succession of super model-esque girlfriends.

2016. After wrapping the last shoot on Ollie & Emma #TelusOptik #webseries #FilmProduction at the Village Foods grocery store in #Sooke.
Me & the lighting crew were the last ones to clock out. I was always the last crew to leave sets because I was also the locations manager. We goofed around with wigs & accessories props from my costumes tickle trunk. I provided several props for the production filming from my own personal collections.
I was on contract with Less Bland Productions in #VictoriaBC at the time.

This feels so incredibly wrong. The kind of wrong where you'd expect a Dark Souls health bar below it.

Ah, yes, the age-old device of putting 40yo into wigs to *try* to make them look like they are teenagers.

I have a friend who is looking to cut her hair and donate it to one of those wig-making charities.

We've heard that Locks or Love is not the good one to donate to, since they sell the wigs commercially at full price and lie about it.
[Edit: Someone pointed out below, this is probably a misconception: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donated-hair/]

Someone recommended Wigs for Kids, but I don't know anything about that.

Does anybody have any recommendations?

Since I've been losing my hair due to #MalePatternBaldness (a family curse) I was thinking if people on here have anything to share about men wearing #wigs
Not in the toupee kinda sense, but like having a set of different wigs for different occasions, like one would use hats.

I wonder what was going through this woman’s mind as she looked at the wigs on display in this shop in Valencia, Spain.

While this may sound like it has all the modern day trimmings of a #dragshow, the year is 1942, and the #performers are #US #Soldiers.
