Crown of a Woman
The headcovering is one of the most cherished pieces of clothing a woman possesses. With it she fulfills a great mitzvah min haTorah and it bestows on her many exceptional side benefits that emanate from fulfilling a mitzvah that is founded on tzniut (modesty), the most important characteristic of the Bat Yisrael.

All About The Head Covering (Kisui HaRosh)
We live in a time when the importance and far-reaching effect of the hair covering (kisuy saarot) is little understood and is under threat, being presented by some as a matter of little significance. In truth, authentic Yiddishkeit (Jewishness) and the whole character of the Jewish home are dependent on women practicing all aspects of tzniut (modesty) properly.
Once the internal holiness is realized, it is a mitzvah to glorify the vessel for holiness, that representation of spirituality. Just as the Tabernacle was stunningly attractive, and a Torah scholar is commanded to accord his physical appearance major priority, so too a woman, an obvious vessel for a rich and potent inner essence, is further enhanced by a beautiful exterior. One which is infused with spiritual content, not an empty shell.
The mitzvah of headcovering is derived from BaMidbar (Num.) 5:18 in reference to the sotah (a married woman suspected of adultry).
Pretty and feminine! Modesty does not mean frumpy! - Tehillim 45:14 The full glory of a king's daughter is within; her raiment is inwrought with gold.
Just as the priestly garments of the Kohen (Priest) are described by the Torah (Scriptures) as magnificent (Shemot/Ex. 28:2), for they demonstrate that the Kohen is engaged in a holy and distinguished service, so too, the garments of the true Bat Yisrael (Daughter of Israel) demonstrate that her days are filled with true values. Hence, the strength displayed by the effort she has made to find such refined clothes reveals her inner royalty and splendor. [Modesty - An Adornment for Life]
According to Judaism, G-d wanted us to enjoy an existence in which our physicality wouldn't stand in the way of defining ourselves internally. G-d therefore gave the first man and woman a great gift: the inborn ability to see each other in their totality.
With this perfect vision, man and woman saw each other's outer self and inner self as one inseparable unit. When man looked at woman, he simultaneously saw her mind, heart, and spirit. At the same moment that woman appreciated man's appearance, she appreciated who he really was.....
Covering.... is the most fundamental way of using your outside to tell others who you are on the inside. It makes the statement: "I am much more than what meets the eye. If you want to see the real me, you'll have to look deeper." [Outside/Inside: A Fresh Look at Tzniut]
Covering hair was a sign of modesty in society throughout history, but times and definitions of modesty have changed. The goal of this website is not to tell women how to cover their hair, but to influence, if possible, one to thinking, talking and learning.
Outside actions create inside awareness; wearing a symbolic and something tangible between us and the Above reinforces that idea that G-d is always watching.
For many women, to cover or not to cover is not a simple decision but can be a choice that evolves with learning. May my various designs, made to appeal to the varied levels of observance and knowledge of hair covering, help in that decision.
