A Hairnet, or sometimes simply a '''net''' or '''caul''', is a small, often elasticised, fine net worn over long hair to hold it in place. A Snood is similar but a looser fit and with a much coarser mesh. Evidence has been found of hairnets as far back as ancient Greece {Link without Title} . Hairnets were worn from the 13th century onwards in Germany and England and are shown in illustrations from this period often worn with a Wimple . They were made from extremely fine silk and edged with bands of either finger-weaving or tablet-weaving. {Link without Title}
