<<There is no issue of hataras nedarim nor do we have  matrilineal 
minhagim -- not patrilineal minhagim either, for that matter, in  the 
case of a married woman.>> [--TK]

Isn't this a circular  argument? Something becomes an implicit neder if 
you intend to do it  forever; it's not a neder if you intend to change it 
when you marry (YD  214:1).

OTOH it certainly is possible for a woman who has made nedarim to  marry, 
and the nedarim don't disappear by the act of marriage (EH  39:1-2).

The original question that started this thread was whether, if the girl's  
mother had never worn a sheitel, that fact somehow constituted an implicit 
neder  on the part of the girl never to wear a sheitel herself, either.  My 
answer  was no, it did not.
 
To be clear, I was not talking about hataras nedarim in general but in that 
 specific case -- if her mother did not wear a sheitel, did a daughter need 
to do  hataras nedarim before she could wear a sheitel?  In that specific 
context  I wrote, "There is no issue of hataras nedarim" (nor of mother's 
minhag,  either). 
 
The fact that her mother never wore a sheitel in no way indicates that the  
daughter "never intended to wear a sheitel."
