Right. And words like tough and rough that we pronounce with an f sound at the end of the word used to be pronounced with that guttural ח type sound at the end of the word.

I'm not sure why you disagree with me, this is pretty standard. Chareidim also don't talk about pregnancies so much publicly, many publications won't write the word pregnancy or nursing, some publications won't write female names, no pictures of women, want to only live amongst chareidim.....
Yes, kiwi may be independently owned but corporate allows people to run branches on shabbos and they make money on shabbos. Also kiwi wasn't allowed to open in the new mall because of this. Their "frum" chain Yiddishkeit was.
The same reason you won't see papaya shoe stores in chareidi areas but ponpono ones instead. Many chareidim won't even go to BIG since BIG has malls open on shabbos.

My Israeli daughters in law rented lace top wigs for their own weddings. Didn't get the point but apparently it is standard here. Chassidish type btw

If a mother shows up in a lace top wig to an interview in any of the big chareidi girls high schools in Yerushalayim (Yashan, Chadash, Snif etc.), her daughter will not be accepted.

I get it. If they’re makpid to wear a sheitel to the wedding they want it to look as natural as possible.

Clueless person here: how can you tell if a wig someone is wearing is lace top? What looks different about it than regular skin top?
I can definitely tell lace front because it looks like its coming from the head. But I never pay attention the top of someone's wig. It seems from this thread that it's very obvious.

No way. Nobody in our circles wears a sheitel let alone a lace top.
Only the very, very, very modern people

Majority of israeli wear wigs, only some sefardim and some yerushalmim dont. Chassidim is the same as everywhere else in the world, depends on which chassidus.
I live in a very israeli community, im one of a very few English speaking, and everyone is wearing wigs. some who more recently bought a new wig are lace.
Many are not wearing wigs on a daily basis out of comfort and no peer pressure but as soon as they have a school meeting or date night or simcha and on Shabbos are wearing a wig.
ofcourse there are some who took it upon themselves not to wear a wig.
ETA: do you live in Israel? which community?
