The women in the sector are finding creative solutions to look amazing • Selena Gomez's brilliance? Secularists are also interested

Kardashian's elegant sexiness, Selena Gomez's brilliance, or Melania Trump's chic. The wig market in the ultra-Orthodox sector is hot from time to time, and the questions about fashion and style among women are constantly changing, and the price tag accordingly.

Traditionally, ultra-Orthodox women cover their hair after marriage as part of their halakhic commitment, alongside halakhic chastity requirements. In some of the sector, wigs are forbidden, and in part, the wig is an unequivocal commitment. For example, you will almost never see a Chabadian without a wig.

Despite the relative closeness of the sector, it is clear that the spirit of the period and the changes of the times produce their own dynamics with regard to the wig market and the boldness of the conservative sector. While there is a prohibition on wearing different colors and of course not revealing clothes, the wigs allow women to stand out and become more beautiful in a halakhic and fit manner.

The price tag for a custom made wig is quite flexible. It starts from about $ 3,000 and also reaches $ 12,000. The results on the ground prove that the high amount does not deter buyers. One of the interesting things about designing wigs is that there is no limit to a woman's natural hair. Therefore, the amount of possibilities is endless, and at any rate, a proper wig can be produced to highlight the woman's natural beauty.

New York wig designer: "It looks totally natural"

"The wig has the double bonus: completely hair-covering, and at the same time it looks completely natural," explains Dini Weinberg, a New York-based wig designer in a call to "Israel Today." "In most cases, it's just more beautiful than a woman's natural hair," every woman has preference, color and style. Some go for Kim Kardashian's sexy elegance; Others want Selena Gomez and others who strive for Melania Trump's chic professionalism. "In any case," adds Weinberg, who is considered a trendsetter in the industry, "the wig industry is an expanding market. The average Orthodox woman in America holds three or four wigs, in varying styles, in her wardrobe," she said.

Toby Hirschler: "Girls in the sector make sure to stay in the fashion order"

Toby Hirschler, Haredi Sector Style stresses that, "Every few months new things come out and girls in the sector make sure to stay in the fashion order. If Victoria Beckham, for example, does some interesting haircut - there will be people who already spread the gospel in the sector. In humor, 50 shades of black. " According to her, "In the larger, ultra-Orthodox sector in general, girls prefer wigs that won't go over their shoulders and in this sense choose wigs that fit perfectly with all modesty rules and less favor wigs in a uniform, natural and up-to-date look. In contrast, ultra-Orthodox-exposed wigs prefer to go to the last word in the field. In addition, today, a ready-made modular inventory is prepared for anyone interested. There is also a higher willingness than before to pay handsome sums to achieve the necessary goal - a up-to-date look that fits the fashion. "

There are quite a few popular and popular types of wigs: There are 100% natural wigs that have been processed - cheaper and considered to be far less current. Other types of wigs are natural fine European hair without processing (with "Skin Top") - a scalp simulator - between NIS 8,000 and NIS 10,000, depending on the length. (Blonde hair is considered rarer and originated in Russia and therefore more expensive wig). Another type is a fine hair wig with a lace front - simulating really natural growth, a delicate handwork up front, which cuts the price to NIS 10-14,000.

"You found out that not only Orthodox women are looking for the benefits of a custom wig"

Weinberg is currently moving out of the "Orthodox box" and offering its products to the general population, under the name "Dini wigs", at the Jerusalem branch. "It started just by chance," she shares. "I posted some photos on Instagram, and quite a few times I was flooded with comments and questions from non-Jewish audiences. I found that not only are Orthodox women looking for the benefits of a custom wig that, besides beauty and comfort, has another secret: it is far less time-consuming than natural hair."

Weinberg, a native of Israel who moved to the United States years ago to study hair styling and wigs long years of experience in the field: Initially opened her first wig salon in Monsie, New York. Since then, she has expanded and currently employs over a hundred employees who are all engaged in wigs and hair styling. Israeli-Patriotic, I wanted to start in the US, where I can draw inspiration from the fashion scene. Now I return home and open a branch here in the capital, where I can spread the beauty, comfort, sophistication and taste to my Israeli colleagues, "she concluded.
