What are Hair Nets?
A hair net is a piece of mesh netting shaped like a round cap that fits over the head to hold hair in place. Hair nets cover the entire head from the forehead to the nape of the neck. The main purpose of a hair net is to keep hair from falling into food or other products. Hair nets are used in the food industry as well as in hospitals, labs and some manufacturing operations. Hair nets may be worn by males or females and most hair nets stretch to fit different head sizes. The netting has an elastic edge that stretches around a hairstyle. Longer hair is usually put in a bun or other up do first. Hair nets are available in basic hair color shades such as brown, dark brown, black, blond and white. The idea of a meshed hairnet is to appear nearly invisible so the color of the net is supposed to be matched to the wearer’s hair color.
