I have several simchas coming up and am thinking of getting a new sheitel. Being that I am fashion unconscious, I am hoping some of you can help me decide what to get.
I pretty much wear a sheitel only to simchas, so for the past decade or so, I've only had one sheitel. It has served me well both for simchas and for the very rare formal event during the week that required a sheitel. Before weddings, I would send it to the sheitel macher to have her wash and curl it, and by the time I needed it again, the curls were always gone. Since 99% of the time that I wear my sheitel it's to a simcha, should I just get a curly/wavy sheitel? This way it will hold up better from one simcha to the next. Any thoughts?
My other question is style wise--what are people wearing these days? I'm in my mid-40s and no fashionista, so I'm not looking for anything trendy, but in general, what should I tell the sheitel macher I want? Side bangs, front bangs, no bangs? Side part, middle part? Layered? I am completely clueless, so any help would be appreciated.
Also, any particular brands to request? Thanks a lot!

I think you need a good sheitel macher, no one here can tell you what style will suit your face!
As for curly, you can get a wig that will hold a wave but not necessarily curly. Curly wigs need much more maintenance so I don't recommend them.

Agree about curly wigs
I think a honest sheital machet can help you find what style suits you best
What length and color do you wear
Would you wear straight? I would suggest staying away from lace

Why don't you recommend lace? I was thinking of getting one.

It's much more maintenance and she sounds like she doesn't want to deal with that.

I have lacetop wigs and they don’t require any maintenance other than fixing the lace when it gets stretched out after a year or two. Being that OP won’t wear the wig often, the lace will probably last a good few years.
Highly recommend a lacetop! It is SO much more comfortable and natural looking than a typical wig.
