OP personally dislikes hijab but also dislikes paranoia against them and not brewing any global conspiracy for or against it.
OP never said this. Listing a variety of suppressive head coverings (that she would include a Nun's habit is a huge flag) as new ideas to promote fashion completely undermines her premise.
Beyond which, your premise is a version of mine. OP's point could be a manipulative way to try to undercut paranoia against the hijab. Whatever the case, I stand by my point that OP's post feels as if there is a motive that has nothing to do with actual fashion. And that's what causes my disconnect.
Funny, I was wondering why OP doesn't understand that a cute, fashionable hat is not the same thing as covering your head and neck with a veil for religious reasons. Even I understand that these are not the same things, and I'm Christian. If OP is an Orthodox Jew, then maybe she really is thinking along the lines of wigs. But then why mention Muslim women, nuns and the Amish, all of whom would never go for this (and what a terrible business model), so I dunno.

I'm OP. I said ^^that and no this isn't meant to promote some silly conspiracy to put polyester fabric or synthetic wig on every head. I stand by my point that there is money to be made in head-ware and hair accessories, mainly in good quality hair extensions and wide brim head-ware with SPF.

This. You probably don’t shop for them.
Actually I did try to shop for a balding aunt and came to a conclusion that there is an untapped market for head-ware and branded wigs.
There are some very high end wigs. But if you don't have hair-issue reasons, or religious reasons to wear a wig, most women don't like the feel and/or how hot they can be.
