Hairy Hairnets!!!

June 27, 2008

What a fabulous find these real hair hairnets are! Delicately packaged in paper envelopes, each hairnet is a beautifully inticate pattern of hand-tied knots. I managed to pick up about half a dozen of these from a market and they date from between 20’s to the 30’s. I just love the illustration below showing the vision of ideal beauty at that time – the hooded eyes and finger waved hair is just gorgeous.
