More recently, I’ve become curious about wrapping tichels and maybe sometimes covering my hair. I recently bought a scarf that I loved and wrapped it with the help of a youtube video. I loved how it looked and have since become very excited about wrapping and covering my hair (I’m looking into buying tichels).
I asked my rebbetzin (Chabad) and she told me that only married women cover their hair and wear tichels. I thought I saw somewhere online that all Jewish women used to cover their hair and it’s only more recently that it’s just married women.
I’m not married, I’m currently dating my bf for 7 months, but I think I want to try wearing a tichel even though my mom seems to be against the idea. As much as I really want to start wrapping my hair, I’m now mixed about it, mostly because of what my rebbetzin said. I don’t know what to do.
Background: I’m a 24 year old college student who consistently attends shabbats & challah bakes at my university’s Chabad. I want to connect more to Hashem and love being Jewish. I grew up conservative/masorti and my bf grew up reform.
