Hey so I just graduated and Ill be working in a (Jewish) school...My hours are 9-6 everyday. Now Ive taught in the past in bais yaakov schools but I was single and I only worked in the mornings...
what do married women do about covering their hair? Is it considered professional to wear a sheital all day? How can I avoid headaches? On "rainy days" what do you do? Are wearing chenilles not appropriate?

A sheitel is your best bet if professional is the look you're going for. Definitely not snoods.

Most people that work in a school wear a wig all day. It's not professional to wear a chenille in a school. You can wear a hat/band fall. When it rains you put on a hood or use an umbrella.
Maybe talk to other's that work there to get an idea of what they wear.

K I figured!! Just double checking. But what do women do when its a rainy day? Just wear their sheital and let it get wet and frizzy?
(I just got married so im ttly new to all this! my mother doesnt cover her hair so I cant ask her)

Considered professional to wear a sheitel all day.
I find a wigrip headband prevents headaches.
Obviously a correctly fitting sheitel, you can remove/reposition clips etc
Hatzlocha!

Thanks everyone! What about on fridays when its a shorter day and more "casual", is a tichel also not such a nice thing to wear?
Nvmd! I see everyone is saying sheitals.
Thank you

If you're wearing a sheitel all day 5 days a week, you'll probably need to get it washed (and set if that's your thing) once a month. I wouldn't be concerned so much about the rain making your hair frizzy. Just make sure you wear a hat or hood over it if it's raining, and if it does get frizzy, rub a little argan oil in it when you get home, brush it out, and it should be fine

If you have just graduated and been a student yourself, I am sure you realized everyone is wearing sheitels, or a tichel if that is how they officially cover.

The teachers on my floor were all single and the married teachers wore sheitals but they only worked from 9-11:30. I cant imagine wearing a sheital from 7 am till about 7 when I get home

Wear a rain bonnet or have an umbrella.

Don't know anyone else there to ask.
I might invest in a fall like you suggest. Are beanies more of a casual look to wear in a boys cheder?

You’ll get used to it.
When I was teaching a full day I wore a sheitel from 8-6 every day.

Where are you working?
In a mo or jpf school, all headcoverings are fine!

Wear a fall. I find it’s a lot more comfortable. I wear with headbands or hats in the winter, but not beanies- too casual for my industry!

In a chasidish school I would think only a full sheitel would go. I don't think a fall would be seen as appropriate. Maybe find out if the school has a faculty dress code

Chasidish boys school you should definitely wear a wig. Maybe get a short bob just for work, it's soo comfortable you don't feel like you're wearing a wig.

I know women that work in chassidish boys school and wear a band fall. They're nursery teachers or therapist/remedial. It's fine.
