I bought hair

[mamadeb]

Friend of mine who is taking up being a sheitel-macher again has offered me a deal I can't refuse - who would believe $200 for a wig? So, I took it.

jonbaker isn't pleased because he doesn't like wigs, but I'm assuming that tucking all my hair away would be a major fuss, so I wouldn't wear it often. Mostly to synagogues that aren't ours and to weddings. I can't even imagine taking it to a convention.

How does one deal with long hair under a wig? Lumps under hats or scarves are perfectly fine. Not so great under hair, I'm thinking.

I find a french braid works best with long hair, particularly since your hair is thinner than mine. I have a bit of a hard time because my hair, though not as long as yours (it's maybe 4 inches below my shoulders, I think) is super duper thick, so it's hard to bunch up under my sheitel.

One thing you do NOT want to do if the cap is a mesh (not solid) cap, is to put the sheitel on over wet hair. You will not do nice things to the sheitel that way.
