I feel that my hair is always sticking out with a tichel. With a sheitel it's fully covered.

A sizable number of Jewish women wear wigs. I think Mashiach’s going to accept us the way we are. I imagine we’ll all want to dress modestly to go greet him but other than that I don’t think we’ll have to make any drastic changes. We have enough rebbetzins wearing sheitels that we can believe that’s considered tznius. I hope we’ll all come to our senses and not judge others for the way they dress.

I tried it. I hate the way I look in it. Tried a 2 or 3 different styles. It makes me look like a non human.

I can’t have a say I don’t wear a shaitle
I grew up in a community where everyone wears shaitles my mother definitely wears one
But I married a Sephardic Israeli so we don’t wear I only wear mitpchat. They aren’t the most comfy especially with a boba

I would. I dont see the point of covering hair with hair. Tichels are not worn in my community at all. I wear a shaitel cuz that's what everyone here wears but deep down I don't believe it's right.
I'm not looking to debate whether shaitels are OK or not. This is how I feel. Now throw all the tomatoes.

Yes for comfort. I guess I’d still want to wear a sheitel to weddings and rare occasions.

No. I look beyond awful in them and never wear them. My mother used to wear them to wash windows. I won't even do that. I'd rather get dirty and wash my hair afterwards.

No,
Unless they would make tichels where your hair actually wouldn’t come out after a while.
I’ll wear to the park or run a local errand maybe but I’m always paranoid I’ll come home and see my hair sticking out or I feel it when I’m out.
Once I have to wear something to squish my head for it to stay in place I might as well wear a shaitel.

Nope. The Rebbe wanted me in a sheitel and I am grateful because I feel like garbage in a tichel.
Please don't interpret this to mean that I look down on those who wear tichels. If it's your minhag and you are comfortable with it, great. And plenty of women look beautiful and even regal in them. But me, I feel like a shmatta in one. I need "hair" to feel attractive and put together.

If you truly feel that way then maybe you should not be wearing a wig. Do you seriously think you are doing something wrong every time you wear a wig? How is that okay?
I actually strongly believe that when moshiach comes all women will wear whatever they fancy on their head, even (gasp) lace top wigs. The only thing I believe will change is that women will ensure all their hair is covered, nevermind the covering (I may be wrong about that as well).
It says a married woman must cover HER hair. This does not mean she cannot have someone else's hair or something resembling hair. It is also not because a woman's own hair is not tznius. If that was the case then even unmarried girls would cover their hair.
I would never leave my house in a tichel, even if I was the only woman in the neighborhood wearing a sheitel. Honestly.
I don't like the look of a tichel on me, and it doesn't matter what anyone says, I find it hard to believe that there is any woman in the world looks better with a tichel on her head than with a beautiful natural looking (Very tznius) sheitel.

I only wear tichels and my co-workers are almost all non-Jews. No other women cover their hair (e.g. no Muslim women wearing hijab or something similar) and no one has ever made a comment or batted an eye. Why should they? There isn't anything abnormal about it.

If it's easy to wear and as comfortable as a snood, I'd switch in a heartbeat were it to be more widespread and acceptable.

Fixations on garments dictating people’s interpersonal relationships is mamish sad.
Talk about greeting Moshiach...

Yes because I honestly think that’s the ideal way to cover your hair. However, I’m not strong enough to be different.

Hmm, I was assuming this included snoods and pretieds, not just "tichels".
