How do you cover your hair?

What kind of tichels/hats? What kind of sheitel?
Do you wear the same type of haircovering every day or do you switch it up?

What does your hubby prefer?

I only wear tichels - in terms of what type...any - solid or print and any colour - I have around 30-40 different ones. My husband is happy for me to cover how I choose as long as it's not a sheital since we don't hold by them, which was great for me because I never wanted to wear one.

only metpachat/snoods/tichels whatever but not a sheital....

burlington has alot of cool scaves for very cheep that I can wrap around my head... I don't buy them in Jewish stores cuz their very pricey there, but buy scarves in discount stores instead.

In my house I wear pre-tied bandanas or israeli tichel or beret (Depends on my mood) and outside I wear a wig, sometimes with a hat/hairband.

DH likes both but he prefers if I wear a wig when I go out further than a few blocks.

When I travel I only wear snoods/beret since its more comfortable.

No sheitals as DH is sefardi and doesn't hold by them. If I could, I would definitely own one, but likely wouldn't wear it all that often.

I wear them all. When I am at home, I tend to wear mostly tichels and berets, and snoods in the winter. I tend to wear sheitals when I go out. It also depends on my mood.

I usually wear a tichel wrapped into a bun when I go outside. sometimes I'll wear a bandana.
for shul or shabbos when I'm away or a wedding or SOMETIMES when I'm out with DH I'll wear a sheitel. I hate sheitels. they give me headaches.
at home I don't cover it at all. maybe when my kids are older. I don't know.

Really interesting (and surprising!) poll results. I was under the impression that most women wear sheitels most of the time.
I only cover with scarves. I own 2 hats and no snoods.
I really like mixing and matching different colors. I often add flowers, lace, headbands, etc. I almost never wear my scarves in a bun. I like the "butterfly-side tie" and the "crown".

Hubby isn't a fan of hats, snoods, black pre-ties, and sheitels. He likes and prefers mitpachot Smile

I live in pretieds. Only wear a sheitel when I have to and once in a while a knit snood but they feel much heavier on the head when you're used to a pretied.

My husband would prefer I not wear a sheitel out of the house. Although he didn't tell me that until after I basically never wore my sheitel at all out of my own likings.

Sometimes a sheitel.
Sometimes a sheitel with a hat over it.
Sometimes a knit hat or a beret.
Sometimes a silk scarf.

(the scarves are vintage French silk scarves and cost more than my synthetic sheitels..lol)

never heard of the comfort band, but it's not the combs or clips that bother me. I have the correct size. I'm good in a sheitel for the first hour or so. then I start to suffer. I get migraines a lot normally, so even a hat will do it to me. that's why I wear tichels.

I'm the same. So I take a bigger size than needed centimeters wise. But the real size? No way.
