"In the last six months customers want a wig like Kate Middleton's hair," says Esti Bergman, the owner of a business that creates and sells high-end wigs to the ultra-Orthodox sector. “Last year there was a Farrah Fawcett trend, long and flowing. Middleton’s style is relatively modest in terms of length and also jauntier.”
The wigs Bergman creates are expensive: their price tag starts at 7,000 shekels ($1,800) and can reach 20,000 ($5,200), depending on color and length.
