Covering your hair as a married Jewish woman can sometimes be a challenging mitzva. Why do Jewish women cover their hair? What is the right way to fulfill this mitzva? Why are there so many types of hair coverings--wigs (sheitels), falls, hats, hair wraps, scarves, tichels, baseball caps? Rabbanit Shayna Goldberg answers all these questions and many more. She clearly explains, in detail, from where we get this beautiful mitzva of hair covering, and she gives a wide range of opinions for how much hair should be covered. Rabbanit Shayna compassionately talks about how to begin covering your hair, if you would like to take on this mitzva.
