You can PM me for questions like that.
I don't mean to get personal, but if you're saying there's no point in her having hair the only thing I can think that could be is if her head is actually covered 24/7?
Is that really what's expected?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

It might not make sense to you, but there are woman who prefer it that way.

I've even heard of Lubavitch woman shaving their heads for comfort etc. since nobody sees it anyways.

I've already said what I have to say or better, what I want to say.

What you don't understand by now will not get explained any better with further discussing.

And if you wanna know how to clip a shaitel, sorry, wrong address, ask your local shaitel macher.

I'm out of this discussion.

@meshugener
Halachah aside,  I find it  very very hard to believe that a girl has no issue with her hair being cut off.
Especially after 17+ years of washing  it,  ironing it,  caring for it,  and taking pride in it.
I don't think Chassidish women do.  They wear it in a pony or a bun.
If you don't care why would you comment?

It's not literally nobody, but someone might decide the convenience of it outweighs the need for it to be seen by her/ her husband.


(And no, my wife does not shave her head :) )

If it's knotted or plucked.  Like many things Chassidim do, this is a chumra taken to an extreme.

If anything, the fact that one shaves hair can make hair into a chatziza....

I have seen mentioned the reason of chatziza for shaving, though not by any poskim from more than a 150 years ago. I could be wrong.


Btw see ramban in the parsha of eishes yefas toar for a perspective on shaven woman...

It's only considered a chatzitza if you regularly shave...

Nobody mentioned it for a reason.
This is clearly not the purpose.

It actually makes it more complicated for that matter.
