If you mean "schvitz" it is the Yiddish word for "sweat".
Thanks, but I do not mean that. I understand a "shvis" is some kind of head covering worn by religious women. I am seeking a description and/or photograph.
Then maybe you are confounding the words "snood," a head covering sort of like a very loose beret, and loosely knit, that Orthodox women sometimes wear, with "shaytel," the Yiddish word for "wig," which means the wig that Orthodox women use to cover their hair sometimes.
There is no rule for how hair must be covered, among Orthodox Jews, other than that married women must cover their hair.
