Sheitel (Yiddish: שייטל, sheytl m.sg., שייטלעך, sheytlekh m.pl. or שייטלען, sheytlen m.pl.; Hebrew: פאה נוכרית) is the Yiddish word for a wig or half-wig worn by some Orthodox Jewish married women in order to conform with the requirement of Jewish Law to cover their hair. This practice is part of the modesty-related dress standard called tzniut. The word is most probably derived from the German word Scheitel (which means hair parting; or "Schädel", which means "skull"). The related term in Hebrew is pei'ah (פאה). Traditional sheitels are secured by elastic caps and are often designed with heavy bangs to obscure the hairline of their wearers, however more modern designed lace-front wigs with realistic hairlines are growing in popularity.
The Shulchan Aruch cites the opinion of Rabbi Joshua Boaz ben Simon Baruch, (d. 1557), who permitted the wearing of wigs.
In some hasidic groups, sheitels are avoided as they can give the impression that the wearer's head is uncovered. In other groups, women wear some type of covering over the sheitel to avoid this misconception, for example a scarf or a hat. In stark contrast, the Lubavitcher Rebbe encouraged all married Jewish women to wear only sheitels.
