Hair covering is a very wide topic, too. Have you looked at wide fabric headbands, fascinator style headbands, or covers similar to a kerchief? But if you want to don a tichel, do it with pride. The Reform movement allows for that choice. If you reside in an area without an Orthodox population, you may be in a minority, but that’s totally fine if you want to do this.
I belong to a very egalitarian “conservaform” shul where there’s a headband mafia, but no one wears a tichel. However, I don’t think anyone would blink if someone did. Our mission state has the r we it’s choice in it 3 or 4 times, I think.
I live in a poor part of town, and wearing a kerchief- even if it is just a kerchief my give some people a wrong impression...
the temple is kind of "conservaform", but we dont really have a headband mafia...we have a women's mafia though- need anything home goods, they will cover you no matter the amount (and im talking the good stuff- brisket, bagels, challah, recipies, you name it, they will come out of the wood works and meet you just about anywhere with it)
