A hairnet, snood, or hair caul is a mesh cap worn over the hair to keep it in place or to prevent loose hairs from falling out. Hairnets are often used in food service, healthcare, and other industries where loose hair could pose a safety hazard. They are also used by dancers, gymnasts, and other performers to keep their hair out of their faces. Although hairnets are worn by both men and women, for the purpose of this article, we will focus on women's hair nets.
Women's hair nets have been used for centuries to keep hair neat and tidy. In the past, they were often made of silk or linen, but today they are typically made of nylon or other synthetic materials. Women's hair nets are available in a variety of styles, including snoods, bonnets, and French twists. They can be worn under wigs or scarves, or on their own.
