If money is not an issue-
One better one
One simple one
A fall if she would wear one

I don’t know anyone who got more than that when they got married.

My simple one cost 600$ at a sale and I love it. The fall was 300

I started out with one and I probably would have preferred to have a second one for Shabbos. I’d recommend two, three seems unnecessary it would make more sense for her to have time to figure out what she likes and buy a third one down the road- maybe at that point you could contribute some money but to start with 3 I think is just a lot of money spent at once unnecessarily.

You wear a hat or snood to work?? I usually have to give it in a day or 2 before I go to have it set

No I drop it off on a Sunday mid-morning or midday. I don’t work on Sundays. My Shaitel Macher knows I need it the same day.

I got three and a fall as did most of my friends.

If you can afford three I would say that's a good number

Wow. Alternate universe here.

BH can afford more but 1 Shaitel is plenty to start with. After a year I got another one and was better able to know what I liked.


Totally! When it came to my first sheitel I didn't really know what I wanted. I thought I did... but once I became more experienced and knowledgable, I learned that while it wasn't a bad buy, I would have gotten something different if I had the experience. So many kallahs get 2 or 3 sheitels, and a year later are fortunate if they still like even 1 of them. My opinion is buy one good sheitel (not too expensive), which your daughter can wear for weekday and Shabbos, then a year later let her buy another if she wants. There is no reason to invest in something she doesn't have the experience to make an educated decision on yet.

If she's in school or has a job where she will wear hats or bands, a fall for weekday plus a Shabbos and occasion sheitel works nicely.

At least two to start. If you could afford a 3rd buy it later on.

Honestly, I would say 1.

Buy 1 before marriage and then at least 3 months later buy a second.

I say this because its very hard to know before marriage what you will like and what you will find comfortable.

Buy one and get used to it and then once you have a better idea buy one or two more.
