@@mastljn great questions! Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/7M59cGjrcpY/видео.html As for why don’t all wear one, Jews vary in their religious observance so that’s why :) Hope all this answers your questions!
I'm Jewish and didn't grow up in a Jewish home..my mom loved wearing wigs and head scarves. I never understood why because we were " closet" Jews. My dad was a Baptist and mom was Jewish and Native American. I'm learning about my Jewish heritage and how much my mom was practicing Judaism without knowing it.
I'm so sorry that you have to "blend in" so you dont get hate. Eveyone should be able to live their life the way they choose without receiving judgements.

Hi Channa ! I’m a Muslim Moroccan woman. I don’t wear Hijab and I love your channel… so informative about your Jewish community in America.

If you frequently tie your hair up I recommend doing different parts every now and then just to reduce any chances of tension alopecia where you are constantly applying pressure in the same direction x
@@jaroffireflies or use hair pins and make a low bun if you can - completely avoids breakage/ follicle damage. Haven't used a hair tie in years; just clips and pins. Lovely vid btw - I'm still too shy and nervous to wear a tichel but I'm slowly getting the chutzpah to at least wear one to a service haha
I finally subscribed to your channel because of your authenticity. The grey hair dye comment was (by far) the best‼️ Thank you for sharing the day in your life as an Orthodox Jewish Mom. You're a lot of fun to watch and I learn a lot too.
Omg, I love that you want to add gray to your wig! You’re a woman after my own heart. I stopped dyeing my naturally red hair several years ago, and it was a great decision.
Christians, Jews, and Muslims are all the children of Abraham. Hating each other makes no sense. I see you cousin. You are in my heart and my prayers. Be well.
@@kitty-mp6cx and Jar of Fireflies Something compels me to point out that it's always the women who plan the family reunions. It is such a massive task it's hard to know where to begin. Maybe it's as simple as this.
I’m a Christian Catholic and considering wearing a head covering as do many of us. I love the many aspects of wearing head coverings. I also appreciate learning about your faith. God be with you and thank you.
I love your transparency with all this. I mean, just about what feels good to you on your head and in your ordinary life. I don't understand the need to cover your hair but I fully respect it. Your genuineness is so special. Thanks. Great with video quality too. I know that's hard. At first I was just confused like ..why is fake hair ok but real hair not? But then I thought about there are tropical cultures where women go topless. And I can't remotely go around without a shirt on. So why is it my business if you want to cover your hair. You touched me. Thank you. By they way my kids are grown but we homeschooled. You're amazing.
I definitely love square scarves. I tie the tails up almost every time. I love the way it feels to be able to turn my head and not feel my scarf twisting out of place.
The head covering and the many ways to wear head covering. It looks nice . I am fascinated with Jewish faith and traditions. I always learn and new way to think .
LOVE that you are proud of your grays and graying gracefully!❤ So many women hate it and fight it. I'm of the same belief as you concerning graying. This was so great!🙂
My baba loved her snoods. She had them in silk and other fabrics since she was a seamstress. She also wore scarves but tied them so they had a twist in the front. Once cancer hit her hard she went for wigs until the end. This was in Las Vegas so she was dealing with heat also. 💙
Love the full wig. Thank you for showing how to wear the scarves. I’ve always loved them. I’ve recently learned that my birth mother became Jewish when she married her husband. I’ve been very interested in learning.
My friend’s two daughters-in-law both do their head wraps the same way. Thanks to you I now know how. I thought that there was a “filler” beneath the scarf but I was embarrassed and didn’t want to ask them. I think you are adorable, have a gut g’bentched yohr. Good Moed 🥰
Fair play for showing how you wrap your hair, wear what you want, everyone else does. Women all over the world cover their hair in many ways and I find it really interesting. ☮️🇬🇧
I loved this video! I find it fascinating how covering your hair is so important. I love to see all of the different options you have. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
As a catholic girl who veils, I would love a tutorial on how to style some of these headscarves. Loved the tip about the velvet headband 💚 I always have to use like 5-6 bobbypins to keep it from slipping back
You should totally try to velvet headband! And good on ya with the veil! I know it’s not a super popular tradition in Catholicism, but I think it’s so beautiful 💖
Hey, I'm also catholic and I'd love to veil full time. I actually used to veil quite a lot (and still do) but not always and often (funnily enough) rather at home then in public, because especially here where I live (Poland) it's totally not a thing among Catholics (or anyone) and I don't want to confuse anyone. So I wanted to ask you - do you veil just in church or full time? And how do you explain it to people who ask you ( 1Cor 11 + modesty in general, I presume) 😉 Plus do you know more head-covering Catholics where you live or are you more alone in this :-) ?
@@waleria2586 Hi there! I know many Catholic ladies who veil! My hometown is near Mexico and it's a more common practice among Mexican Catholics. Now I live near Korea and it seems even more common amongst Korean ladies, nearly all of them are veiled in mass. For myself, I only veil in church, especially in the presence of the tabernacle or the eucharist. When I get asked about it, I give a few different answers. One is that all the women I admire the most are veiled (the Blessed Virgin, Saint Thérèse, etc.). Another is that veiling is a symbol of something precious and holy, as shown by how we veil the alter. Lastly, my favorite explanation is that it makes me feel humble and puts me in the right space mentally for worship.
I just started covering my hair daily a few weeks ago, I've primarily been wearing 20x20 bandanas, theyre the most comfortable thing I've tried so far. If/when my hair gets a little longer i think im going to try your method with bigger square scarves, I love that look!
Shalom, I know the feeling about wearing a head covering. I live in OK near the Amish so it's a little less then normal. I love how you explain all of your way of head coverings.
I really apppreciate your candor. Personally, i have such a challenge with my big head, finding "a good scarf", getting a good fit, wearing something that feels right and good to my scalp. Lately though, i've been very excited to get " my Rosie the Rivitor" on!! Just love tying a square scarf up front and center and tucking in the loose ends. It helps to fold my arm infront or bend them in the classic fashion! Let's get this done Rosie!!📣💋💙
I love your video. I'm not jewish, but I love the scarf thing. I used to be able to find them all the time, I may need to go looking in Jewish stores to see if I can find some. The way you wear your scarf in the first of the video is the way I used to wear scarves all the time, I just got out of it, and now my hair is longer, and I'm wanting to go back to it, I've been looking around for the last year or so. I may check out some of the Jewish stores. I love your videos. I've been watching them for a while. Keep it up. You are a gift!
I just found your channel last night after I got hold from work and I’m really enjoying it so far! I grew up in a very strictly orthodox (Ashkenazi) family/community, so learning and seeing how things work in a Sephardi home are so interesting to me. I personally find the topic of Tznius very interesting because of how stringent it was in my family and how diverse it’s interpretation can be. For example, my mother had her head shaved after the Chasuna and wears a sheitel with a beret/small hat or a kertchif for the most part, whereas my friends wife wears a fallback sheitel with a headband like you do sometimes! I’m now part of a “regular” orthodox /modern orthodox Shul and again the level of modesty changes again.. Its so amazing that many woman enjoy and find empowerment in covering their hair. Thank you for the content! From Scotland (Yes there’s Jews in Scotland!)
Thank you for sharing part of your story! I’m so glad you found a place in Judaism that is working for you! Ps I have Scottish ancestry on both sides (so two tartans but I’m not sure how that really works out lol). I have always wanted to visit there :)
@@jaroffireflies you should come holiday here with your family if you are ever able to! I would be so happy to help you with that and would hope you visit us in Aberdeen! We’re the most northern community in the UK. Ps: there’s an official Scottish Jewish tartan now as of 2008!
@@evanbeker-sorski8074 so now I have 3 tartans? 🤣 I love it lol Thank you so much for your generous offer! I will absolutely be thrilled to take you up on that if we can ever make it over there!!!!
I have enjoyed your video. I so enjoy learning about cultural differences, beliefs and heritages. My heart hurts to hear about your struggles in being who you are. Love is the highest and strongest of energies. Many prayers for you your family and community. 🌹
Thank you for posting this. I enjoy listening to you. I’m Norwegian, and you help me to improve my English. You have a great voice for RUclips videos 👍🏻🌺
Interesting. Thanks. I grew up not far from a Jewish centered community and always wondered about many of these topics but was always told it was not nice to ask. Thank you for enlightening those of us who respect all cultural ways and religious beliefs And maybe even those who are open minded enough to care. Ha ha ha I hear ya about the wig…I wore a couple when I went thru Chemo therapy years ago and wearing them could be a challenge in their self! Especially in the Winter against coats and scarves! Namaste. 🙌🏻
I am always happy to answer questions! And yes you totally get it with the wigs! Things like hoodies are weird to wear with not my hair lol random things like that!
Agreed snood is reliable and comfortable, I like my ears secure but not tight and for me doesn't slip or get in the way with ties, knots or tails when it comes to taking care of kids or housework or gardening
I have no idea how or why this popped up on my suggested videos but it did. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and it was informative. I am not Jewish but it’s so nice to learn about some of the things I’ve seen but would be rude to ask a total stranger. I subscribed and liked the video. I wish you and yours much happiness. It was serendipitous to stumble across the video but glad I did!!!!
Very awesome video. I have been wearing wigs for many years along with clip ins to manage the cost of hair care which I do by myself and protect my hair. It's interesting to see another woman trying them out. They look lovely.
Hi! New sub here, I’ve just discovered your channel and this is the first of your videos that I watch, I love the way you explain things! I converted to Islam a couple years ago but my ancestors on my dad’s side are all Jews from Poland, I love learning about Jewish traditions and channels like yours really help as my dad is not religious himself and never really mentioned anything about his family’s religion to my sister and I, I’m glad I found your channel so I can get to know more on your beliefs and way of life! I hope anti semitism is not too out of control in the US and that you can still feel safe while outside, I hate how something so simple as the faith in God can make you a target of violence, what a crazy world we live in…
It breaks my heart to hear you say you don't wear your head scarfs in certain areas because the rise in anti semitism. As a woman of color in a interracial marriage with biracial child I understand how the rise in racism and intolerance can effect or daily lives. Praying that things get better and people see we are all on family regardless of religion,race or origin we are all one family the human family.
Hating a religion is not racism. It’s not liking an ideology that another person prescribes to. It’s like how many people hate Trumpers who wear the MAGA hat like some religious covering. It’s because the hat means something just as the scarf does, and people could not agree with the idea behind it. Now, that doesn’t mean that they should be rude but it’s not racism or any other oppression. It’s a difference in opinion.
@@Breathefreemylove “Jewishness” is a cultural identity, an ethnicity, and a religion. Many Jews don’t practice Judaism. If it was just about a “difference in opinion,” then all someone had to do to avoid all the persecution and pogroms and well, the Holocaust, would be to stop practicing their faith.
I’ve only just discovered your channel but I find your vlogs so fascinating and educational. I’m not Jewish but love learning about the culture and I find you so easy to follow. I’m not going to binge watch.
if I covered I think I would go for scarves, so much variety in pattern/colours but also I think I'd enjoy finding inventive ways to tie it up. the snood looks so comfy though :) I really like your scalves, the light blue flowery one you showed was beautiful. very fun and informative video as always, thank you :)
You sound exactly like me lol I love the fun scarf styles, but that snood is sooooo comfy! I am wearing one as I type this LOL Thank you for your kind words :) Your comments are always so uplifting! So glad you enjoyed.
I love this video! Exactly the step I'm at in this journey. Thank you for your referral to the Scarf Bar! I ordered some. You should contact them to see if you can get some promotional advertising.
Love the headcoverings! Also, I think its fun that you can match the scarves to your outfit - I do that with my masks 2021 :) I am sorry you have to worry about peoples opinions...
Yay! I do cover my hair at Mass and anytime I enter the church. Thanks for all the tips! 😁 Also... I am so sorry for you feeling the need to wear a wig because of all the antisemitism lately. Praying for my Jewish brothers and sisters. ❤
Thank you so much for your prayers! I appreciate it so much as do all the Jewish people ❤️❤️❤️ I love that you cover your hair at Mass and when entering a church :) Had I remained Catholic I think I would have adopted that as well. Though I don’t remember anyone who did it.
@@jaroffireflies It is more common in parishes that do Latin Mass. It's much more "orthodox" (best word I can think of) than the regular Catholic Churches and still in union with the Pope. I didn't learn about these types of parishes until I was an adult. So glad I found them.
Thank you for your prayers for the Jewish people. It’s been a tough time with the anti semitism going on. There was a Jewish cemetery desecrated with anti Semitic graffiti this week in Maryland. I am very thankful that my state government has stood up and said that anti semitism will not be tolerated and that they stand with us especially after this latest anti Semitic attack.
You look beautiful in them all. I have very long curly hair. Always wanted straight but .... thankful I have a lot of hair. Long and curly has so many ways to style you can have it hang. Tie it up or scarf it easily. Shorter hair is more challenging to deal with. Yes again I’m Christian. But very modist. I’m older and wear my long curly hair up most of the time as I think it looks much more professional. I am truely a messy bun kinda girl and that is my home style. I do Lov and wear a lot of beautiful scarfs. My work is right next to a orthodox wig and scarf store. I have to get your info to mail you a nice scarf from there. Lots of Lov and happy holidays. It is out christian holiday coming in. I’m looking forward to it. Xoxo.
Such an interesting post. Never realised there was so much to it. If I covered my hair, I think I'd go for the 'pouffey' look with the black scarf and with the tails tucked in. The turquoise scarf was really pretty too.
i am so greatfull for to see introduction of the Jewish culture and costumes So happy that is now possible due to some of you. I learned so much of Sonyas coocking as well and so many practical things... keep up Jar of Fireflies.
Hey great video I have been starting to wear hair covering I like the puff idea it will keep all of my curls in place. Also if wear a lace front wig it will stay in place better. Oh and if wash your wig with shampoo and a few drops of fabric softener it will help it keep it shape for more years.
I have worn scarves in a headband kind of style for years... mostly because I have a big head and commercial headbands give me a headache! 🤪 But if I were to do a full head covering... I think I would do the turban style and add embellishments to further accessorize! I love the variety of options and I especially like your scarves that are shiny! 💖
I’m also in Texas and I’m happy my family has grown up in a blended community and schools and my heart just broke a little when you said you face anti semitism. I am sad that we are still here but I pray we keep moving forward and your light and spirit will show others how we are all one.
I do like your wigs. The longer one that is thicker makes you look younger and I like that one the best. You do not have to place gray hair in your wig. Unless you get older. The hair color looks great with your complexion. 😊
Hello, I just found your channel and am loving it. Thank you so much. I find you extremely pleasant and happy with your family life. Looking forward to learning more about you and your family. Blessings to you all.🙏✡️💕
Thank you for these videos - you really make observance seem more accessible than I have formerly thought. I have only hair covered when visiting Israel. I felt really out of place in my rural town wearing a hair covering and also really dowdy, so I gave up trying it.
I love my head scarf and I have them in mind different colors and patterns. Being a mom to 3 they are a life saver when on the rare occasion that I don't have time to brush my hair.
Oh yes! And there are customs for different styles too, for example some Jews will wear a small hat (a fascinator) with their wig every time they wear their wig. That's not a custom in my community though. Hair covering is such a fascinating topic!
Nice video! I'm pretty young so I had never thought about wanting to gray gracefully through your wig before but I liked your perspective. I hope the dye job went well!
I am Catholic I understand ….., Numbers 5:18. Talmud (Ketuboth 72), head covering is a biblical requirement for women. I apologize if I missed spelled something. Thank you for taking the mystery out of head coverings for orthodox Jewish women🙏🏻
I left out a few hair coverings such as hats and turbans, choosing to focus on the most popular hair coverings in my community and among other Orthodox Jews that I know. I will say that it is not uncommon for hats to be worn with a wig or a fall, often a beanie or a ball cap. As always, Thank you for watching!

If you frequently tie your hair up I recommend doing different parts every now and then just to reduce any chances of tension alopecia where you are constantly applying pressure in the same direction x
Thanks so much for the tip!
@@jaroffireflies or use hair pins and make a low bun if you can - completely avoids breakage/ follicle damage. Haven't used a hair tie in years; just clips and pins. Lovely vid btw - I'm still too shy and nervous to wear a tichel but I'm slowly getting the chutzpah to at least wear one to a service haha
@@tanyavolansky5042 thanks for the tips! And good luck on the tichels! Shavua tov :)
I finally subscribed to your channel because of your authenticity. The grey hair dye comment was (by far) the best‼️ Thank you for sharing the day in your life as an Orthodox Jewish Mom. You're a lot of fun to watch and I learn a lot too.
Thank you! ❤️ I really appreciate that
I cover my hair with scarves mostly. In the winter I tend to wear cute close fitting hats like slouchy beanies, berets, and similar types.
Omg, I love that you want to add gray to your wig! You’re a woman after my own heart. I stopped dyeing my naturally red hair several years ago, and it was a great decision.
Oh I love that!!! I always wanted to grey gracefully but the wig makes that a little more complicated 🤣
Christians, Jews, and Muslims are all the children of Abraham. Hating each other makes no sense. I see you cousin. You are in my heart and my prayers. Be well.
Thanks friend!
Ameen! Blessings and peace to all!
@@kitty-mp6cx amen! Thank you!

Something compels me to point out that it's always the women who plan the family reunions. It is such a massive task it's hard to know where to begin. Maybe it's as simple as this.
Beautifully phrased. Thank you. 🤗❤
I’m a Christian Catholic and considering wearing a head covering as do many of us. I love the many aspects of wearing head coverings. I also appreciate learning about your faith. God be with you and thank you.
Thank you for your kind comment. I’m happy to hear that head coverings are making a resurgence with Catholics!
I think it also prevent some of the exposure from the environment

I love your transparency with all this. I mean, just about what feels good to you on your head and in your ordinary life. I don't understand the need to cover your hair but I fully respect it. Your genuineness is so special. Thanks. Great with video quality too. I know that's hard. At first I was just confused like ..why is fake hair ok but real hair not? But then I thought about there are tropical cultures where women go topless. And I can't remotely go around without a shirt on. So why is it my business if you want to cover your hair. You touched me. Thank you. By they way my kids are grown but we homeschooled. You're amazing.
Thank you so much! I am so happy to read your words! Thank you!
I definitely love square scarves. I tie the tails up almost every time. I love the way it feels to be able to turn my head and not feel my scarf twisting out of place.
The head covering and the many ways to wear head covering. It looks nice . I am fascinated with Jewish faith and traditions. I always learn and new way to think .
LOVE that you are proud of your grays and graying gracefully!❤ So many women hate it and fight it. I'm of the same belief as you concerning graying. This was so great!🙂
😊😊😊
I absolutely adore the full wig on you, it is very flattering !
Thank you so much 😊
I could never do this, but power to you sis! 10/10 for creativity ❤
Thank you! 🤗
This is a great video showing the different hair covers! I certainly want to see how the gray turns out!
I am so glad that you enjoyed this video! I'll be filming the adding grey to my wig :) Probably not for a couple weeks though, but stay tuned!
My baba loved her snoods. She had them in silk and other fabrics since she was a seamstress. She also wore scarves but tied them so they had a twist in the front. Once cancer hit her hard she went for wigs until the end. This was in Las Vegas so she was dealing with heat also. 💙
Thank you for sharing some of her story 💜
Love the full wig. Thank you for showing how to wear the scarves. I’ve always loved them. I’ve recently learned that my birth mother became Jewish when she married her husband. I’ve been very interested in learning.
My friend’s two daughters-in-law both do their head wraps the same way. Thanks to you I now know how. I thought that there was a “filler” beneath the scarf but I was embarrassed and didn’t want to ask them. I think you are adorable, have a gut g’bentched yohr. Good Moed 🥰
So glad that helped you understand:)
The snood is my favorite and not only because it’s fin to say!
Oh my goodness when u tucked and tied your second covering(purple shiney) and tied up and then u def, that is my favorite way to wear!
Just like your profile picture here! I think it’s a gorgeous way to wear, I just prefer the tails 😁
Fair play for showing how you wrap your hair, wear what you want, everyone else does. Women all over the world cover their hair in many ways and I find it really interesting. ☮️🇬🇧
I love your personality, it is so contagious! Very genuine, happy, and approachable. Thank you for the great video, so interesting!
Thank you and you’re welcome
I loved this video! I find it fascinating how covering your hair is so important. I love to see all of the different options you have. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
So glad you enjoyed!
As a catholic girl who veils, I would love a tutorial on how to style some of these headscarves. Loved the tip about the velvet headband 💚 I always have to use like 5-6 bobbypins to keep it from slipping back
You should totally try to velvet headband! And good on ya with the veil! I know it’s not a super popular tradition in Catholicism, but I think it’s so beautiful 💖
Try looking up Wrapunzel videos. Lots of tutorials. (Note: I do not represent Wrapunzel in any way. Just a long time happy customer)
Hey, I'm also catholic and I'd love to veil full time. I actually used to veil quite a lot (and still do) but not always and often (funnily enough) rather at home then in public, because especially here where I live (Poland) it's totally not a thing among Catholics (or anyone) and I don't want to confuse anyone. So I wanted to ask you - do you veil just in church or full time? And how do you explain it to people who ask you ( 1Cor 11 + modesty in general, I presume) 😉 Plus do you know more head-covering Catholics where you live or are you more alone in this :-) ?
@@waleria2586 Hi there! I know many Catholic ladies who veil! My hometown is near Mexico and it's a more common practice among Mexican Catholics. Now I live near Korea and it seems even more common amongst Korean ladies, nearly all of them are veiled in mass. For myself, I only veil in church, especially in the presence of the tabernacle or the eucharist. When I get asked about it, I give a few different answers. One is that all the women I admire the most are veiled (the Blessed Virgin, Saint Thérèse, etc.). Another is that veiling is a symbol of something precious and holy, as shown by how we veil the alter. Lastly, my favorite explanation is that it makes me feel humble and puts me in the right space mentally for worship.
@@annelynn7266 I came here to make the same suggestion! 💜💜
I just started covering my hair daily a few weeks ago, I've primarily been wearing 20x20 bandanas, theyre the most comfortable thing I've tried so far. If/when my hair gets a little longer i think im going to try your method with bigger square scarves, I love that look!
Shalom, I know the feeling about wearing a head covering. I live in OK near the Amish so it's a little less then normal. I love how you explain all of your way of head coverings.
Thank you :) Very cool that you live near Amish! I’ve always wanted to visit Amish country :)
I like the color or the scarves and hair. They do suit your face. . I also like the way you explain everything, so confidently.
Thank you so much! 💜
I really apppreciate your candor. Personally, i have such a challenge with my big head, finding "a good scarf", getting a good fit, wearing something that feels right and good to my scalp. Lately though, i've been very excited to get " my Rosie the Rivitor" on!! Just love tying a square scarf up front and center and tucking in the loose ends. It helps to fold my arm infront or bend them in the classic fashion! Let's get this done Rosie!!📣💋💙
Love that! I also have a larger head which makes hats super hard, I’ll have to try the Rosie style! That sounds perfect for outdoor days!
I love your video. I'm not jewish, but I love the scarf thing. I used to be able to find them all the time, I may need to go looking in Jewish stores to see if I can find some. The way you wear your scarf in the first of the video is the way I used to wear scarves all the time, I just got out of it, and now my hair is longer, and I'm wanting to go back to it, I've been looking around for the last year or so. I may check out some of the Jewish stores. I love your videos. I've been watching them for a while. Keep it up. You are a gift!
Thank you Robin ❤️
I just found your channel last night after I got hold from work and I’m really enjoying it so far! I grew up in a very strictly orthodox (Ashkenazi) family/community, so learning and seeing how things work in a Sephardi home are so interesting to me. I personally find the topic of Tznius very interesting because of how stringent it was in my family and how diverse it’s interpretation can be. For example, my mother had her head shaved after the Chasuna and wears a sheitel with a beret/small hat or a kertchif for the most part, whereas my friends wife wears a fallback sheitel with a headband like you do sometimes! I’m now part of a “regular” orthodox /modern orthodox Shul and again the level of modesty changes again.. Its so amazing that many woman enjoy and find empowerment in covering their hair. Thank you for the content!
From Scotland (Yes there’s Jews in Scotland!)
Thank you for sharing part of your story! I’m so glad you found a place in Judaism that is working for you! Ps I have Scottish ancestry on both sides (so two tartans but I’m not sure how that really works out lol). I have always wanted to visit there :)
@@jaroffireflies you should come holiday here with your family if you are ever able to! I would be so happy to help you with that and would hope you visit us in Aberdeen! We’re the most northern community in the UK. Ps: there’s an official Scottish Jewish tartan now as of 2008!

Fall/half wigs age awesome, if you match it correctly. Love the video.
Thank you!

I love the covering you are wearing doing this blog. It looks so versatile. Love to you and all the Fireflies 💚
Thank you! 😊
Interesting. Thanks. I grew up not far from a Jewish centered community and always wondered about many of these topics but was always told it was not nice to ask. Thank you for enlightening those of us who respect all cultural ways and religious beliefs And maybe even those who are open minded enough to care. Ha ha ha I hear ya about the wig…I wore a couple when I went thru Chemo therapy years ago and wearing them could be a challenge in their self! Especially in the Winter against coats and scarves! Namaste. 🙌🏻
I am always happy to answer questions! And yes you totally get it with the wigs! Things like hoodies are weird to wear with not my hair lol random things like that!
Agreed snood is reliable and comfortable, I like my ears secure but not tight and for me doesn't slip or get in the way with ties, knots or tails when it comes to taking care of kids or housework or gardening
Totally agree!
Thank you for your video!! It was very informative and I appreciate the way you communicated your trials and successes.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
I have no idea how or why this popped up on my suggested videos but it did. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and it was informative. I am not Jewish but it’s so nice to learn about some of the things I’ve seen but would be rude to ask a total stranger. I subscribed and liked the video. I wish you and yours much happiness. It was serendipitous to stumble across the video but glad I did!!!!
Hello and welcome! I am so glad that you enjoyed this video and I am so glad that you are here :)
Very awesome video. I have been wearing wigs for many years along with clip ins to manage the cost of hair care which I do by myself and protect my hair. It's interesting to see another woman trying them out. They look lovely.
Thank you!
Hi! New sub here, I’ve just discovered your channel and this is the first of your videos that I watch, I love the way you explain things!
I converted to Islam a couple years ago but my ancestors on my dad’s side are all Jews from Poland, I love learning about Jewish traditions and channels like yours really help as my dad is not religious himself and never really mentioned anything about his family’s religion to my sister and I, I’m glad I found your channel so I can get to know more on your beliefs and way of life!
I hope anti semitism is not too out of control in the US and that you can still feel safe while outside, I hate how something so simple as the faith in God can make you a target of violence, what a crazy world we live in…
Hello and welcome! I’m so glad that you are here! Thank you for your introduction and kind words :)
mashalla sis
I have learned so much from you! Bless you
It breaks my heart to hear you say you don't wear your head scarfs in certain areas because the rise in anti semitism.
As a woman of color in a interracial marriage with biracial child I understand how the rise in racism and intolerance can effect or daily lives.
Praying that things get better and people see we are all on family regardless of religion,race or origin we are all one family the human family.
Thank you 💜 Luckily most people are amazing :) But there are some not so good folks out there too unfortunately.
Hating a religion is not racism. It’s not liking an ideology that another person prescribes to. It’s like how many people hate Trumpers who wear the MAGA hat like some religious covering. It’s because the hat means something just as the scarf does, and people could not agree with the idea behind it. Now, that doesn’t mean that they should be rude but it’s not racism or any other oppression. It’s a difference in opinion.
@@Breathefreemylove
Jewish people are a race
@@Breathefreemylove not the same whatsoever
@@Breathefreemylove “Jewishness” is a cultural identity, an ethnicity, and a religion. Many Jews don’t practice Judaism. If it was just about a “difference in opinion,” then all someone had to do to avoid all the persecution and pogroms and well, the Holocaust, would be to stop practicing their faith.
I’ve only just discovered your channel but I find your vlogs so fascinating and educational. I’m not Jewish but love learning about the culture and I find you so easy to follow. I’m not going to binge watch.
Welcome Amanda! I’m so glad you’re here :) Thank you for your kind words and for watching!
@@jaroffireflies my original post should have read “I’m now going to binge watch” lol!
@@amandaajd563 that’s totally what I thought you meant! No worries! 💜
if I covered I think I would go for scarves, so much variety in pattern/colours but also I think I'd enjoy finding inventive ways to tie it up. the snood looks so comfy though :) I really like your scalves, the light blue flowery one you showed was beautiful. very fun and informative video as always, thank you :)
You sound exactly like me lol I love the fun scarf styles, but that snood is sooooo comfy! I am wearing one as I type this LOL Thank you for your kind words :) Your comments are always so uplifting! So glad you enjoyed.

I love this video! Exactly the step I'm at in this journey. Thank you for your referral to the Scarf Bar! I ordered some. You should contact them to see if you can get some promotional advertising.
Thank you so much!
I love your fall! I am also the same way with snoods. I wear my shaper high instead of for volume so I bump my tichels in the car often! 😅
Love the headcoverings! Also, I think its fun that you can match the scarves to your outfit - I do that with my masks 2021 :) I am sorry you have to worry about peoples opinions...
Thank you! 💜💜💜
I really like your fall and wig. All of the scarves are pretty. You're beautiful. God bless you and yours love, jenwhite.
Thank you so much Jen 💖
Yay! I do cover my hair at Mass and anytime I enter the church. Thanks for all the tips! 😁
Also... I am so sorry for you feeling the need to wear a wig because of all the antisemitism lately. Praying for my Jewish brothers and sisters. ❤
Thank you so much for your prayers! I appreciate it so much as do all the Jewish people ❤️❤️❤️ I love that you cover your hair at Mass and when entering a church :) Had I remained Catholic I think I would have adopted that as well. Though I don’t remember anyone who did it.
@@jaroffireflies It is more common in parishes that do Latin Mass. It's much more "orthodox" (best word I can think of) than the regular Catholic Churches and still in union with the Pope. I didn't learn about these types of parishes until I was an adult. So glad I found them.
@@jessramirez5721 that totally makes sense! I appreciate the further explanation:) I love learning new things!
Thank you for your prayers for the Jewish people. It’s been a tough time with the anti semitism going on. There was a Jewish cemetery desecrated with anti Semitic graffiti this week in Maryland. I am very thankful that my state government has stood up and said that anti semitism will not be tolerated and that they stand with us especially after this latest anti Semitic attack.
You look beautiful in them all. I have very long curly hair. Always wanted straight but .... thankful I have a lot of hair. Long and curly has so many ways to style you can have it hang. Tie it up or scarf it easily. Shorter hair is more challenging to deal with. Yes again I’m Christian. But very modist. I’m older and wear my long curly hair up most of the time as I think it looks much more professional. I am truely a messy bun kinda girl and that is my home style. I do Lov and wear a lot of beautiful scarfs. My work is right next to a orthodox wig and scarf store. I have to get your info to mail you a nice scarf from there. Lots of Lov and happy holidays. It is out christian holiday coming in. I’m looking forward to it. Xoxo.
Thank you so much for your kind words :) Enjoy your holiday!
You are such a beautiful person, thank you for sharing
Thank you so very much!
That wig looks good on you 😍.
Thank you!
When you are ready for a new sheiteil....yes, definitely go for a lace top! So much more comfortable and natural!
I’m looking forward to that day! I’m so sure I will love it!
Thanks for sharing God bless you and protect you always dear sister
Thank you 💜
Such an interesting post. Never realised there was so much to it. If I covered my hair, I think I'd go for the 'pouffey' look with the black scarf and with the tails tucked in. The turquoise scarf was really pretty too.
So glad you found this interesting Karen! thank you for watching :)
I love wearing my tichels! I also love using the pouf ❤
i am so greatfull for to see introduction of the Jewish culture and costumes
So happy that is now possible due to some of you.

Thank you! So glad you are enjoying and learning!
Thank you so much . I am happy to see all of the types and how they are worn. Blessings. By the way you look great in all of them.
Hey great video I have been starting to wear hair covering I like the puff idea it will keep all of my curls in place. Also if wear a lace front wig it will stay in place better. Oh and if wash your wig with shampoo and a few drops of fabric softener it will help it keep it shape for more years.
Thank you for the tips! I appreciate it!
I have worn scarves in a headband kind of style for years... mostly because I have a big head and commercial headbands give me a headache! 🤪 But if I were to do a full head covering... I think I would do the turban style and add embellishments to further accessorize! I love the variety of options and I especially like your scarves that are shiny! 💖
You are very nice and gentle 🌺
Thank you for your kind words :)
I just joined your channel and this is my first video!! The scarves are awesome.
Hello Dianna! Welcome 🤗 I’m so glad you’re here 💜
I’m also in Texas and I’m happy my family has grown up in a blended community and schools and my heart just broke a little when you said you face anti semitism. I am sad that we are still here but I pray we keep moving forward and your light and spirit will show others how we are all one.
The vast majority of people are amazing and wonderful :) I am very grateful to live where I do where there is very little antisemitism.
I do like your wigs. The longer one that is thicker makes you look younger and I like that one the best. You do not have to place gray hair in your wig. Unless you get older. The hair color looks great with your complexion. 😊

Hi chana such an interesting video to watch I didn’t realise there were so many different design and ideas for covering hair..
Oh yes! And there are customs for different styles too, for example some Jews will wear a small hat (a fascinator) with their wig every time they wear their wig. That's not a custom in my community though. Hair covering is such a fascinating topic!
I love the snood (sp) and I think it is very elegant looking
Loved the video, very informative and enjoyable. Thank you 💐😊
You are so welcome!
Nice video! I'm pretty young so I had never thought about wanting to gray gracefully through your wig before but I liked your perspective. I hope the dye job went well!
Thank you so much!!
Love the head covers, gave me ideas thanks ❤
Thank you! You’re so welcome!
It is so strange seeing you with hair! It is nice to see all the options. ❤
I am Catholic I understand ….., Numbers 5:18. Talmud (Ketuboth 72), head covering is a biblical requirement for women.
I apologize if I missed spelled something. Thank you for taking the mystery out of head coverings for orthodox Jewish women🙏🏻
You are so welcome!
