hairnet definition and meaning

What is a "hairnet"?

A hairnet is a mesh-like head covering typically made of nylon or other lightweight material. It is used to secure and contain hair in place, especially in professional settings such as kitchens, hospitals, or laboratories where hygiene and safety regulations are important. Hairnets help prevent loose hair from falling into food, products, or sensitive equipment, ensuring cleanliness and preventing contamination. They are often worn by individuals working in the food service industry, healthcare professionals, or those handling delicate materials. Hairnets are stretchable, comfortable to wear, and provide an effective barrier for keeping hair neatly contained.
