A snood is a little cap or bag for a lady to wear her hair in. Until this century, married and respectable women always wore their hair covered by a cap of some sort. Looking like you just woke up might be trendy today, but if you're dressing up for a Renaissance Fair or an SCA event, you can add a lot to your costume with this simple piece. These snoods are great for Renaissance Faires; SCA or LARP events; or Civil War or WWII re-enactors. They are also a colorful way for caterers and restaurant workers to keep their hair neatly out of the way.

Soft, does not fall/slide off, So glad I tried this
Love this!!!! I have thick hair - past my shoulders. This holds my hair well and it does not slip off - I work in a juice room of a whole foods market - this is soft and lovely - I had an employee today ask me where I got it - I directed here and I said they have a variety of colors. I'm looking at the green to match my work outfit.I really like thisThe only negative and this is a personal thing - when I have it laying across/over my ears - it hurts my ears - not from being tight - I'm thinking my ears must be sensitive for some reason to this type of material . So, I keep it behind my ears.I want all the colors

Perfect snood
Bought this for a wedding in which I was a bridesmaid and it worked perfectly. The theme was vintage so I paired it with some empire rolls and it looked great. My hair is very fine so I had to curl and back comb (tease) my hair to fill up the snood but it looked great. If this snood was a tiny bit shorter it would have been better for my hair. If anyone is looking for a 40's or 50's style hair accessory look no further!

Roomy, comfortable, makes me think service industry
The circumference of my head — along the hairline, behind the ears, at the neck — is 22.5". This did not give me a headache. Big plus. Elastic headbands often do. The elastic was snug enough to hold its grip pretty well, but it still slid off very slowly, so I pinned it in place with two pairs of bobby pins. Held perfectly.From hairline to ends, my hair is 23.5". The circumference of my ponytail is about 3.25" at the base of my skull. There is AMPLE space. Room to grow.I had difficulty with some hairs coming out through the holes, near the top. I had difficulty with the elastic pulling up just enough that it didn't cover all the hair at the nape of my neck and many hairs worked loose there also. I looked a bit frazzled by the end of the day.I don't care for the pattern. It's somewhere between grid and hexagon, with occasional threads that seem out of place. Nicely loose and stretchy, but just calls to mind service industry more than ren faire. But looking at others, they seem to all be this pattern.

Love it!
I have been wanting a snood for years and years. I was a bit hesitant about ordering this one because of other reviews, but I am glad I did! The elastic fits perfectly and is comfortable. I don't have to have clips holding it on (and I have thick, waist-length hair), though I do expect to have to eventually, because of the nature of elastic. I only just got it, but it seems to be of a high quality workmanship. We shall see how it holds up, because I plan on wearing it often. It will be perfect for when we (my family and I) make our church lunch to keep my hair out of the way, but still look attractive!As a side note, I do have a larger head, so that may be why the elastic doesn't work for other people with smaller heads.

hold hair in place
This is well made and comfortable. Purchased to wear with a formal gown and wanted a vintage hair style. Decorated with a flower and it looks great. Would buy again.

Messy hair's best friend
This is a solidly made snood that covers my entire head. I had previously ordered some that clip in at the base of a ponytail and the net was so small I could barely fit my hair inside. This snood looks hand made, is super stretchy and stays put all day with the aid of a couple of bobby pins. It's my go to hair accessories on days when I didn't have time to wash or curl my hair.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM - TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!
I bought these snoods because I thought they were a good price. Now I know why they're so cheap. I used it for ONE WEEK (for about an hour a day) and it started to unravel. They even send out an email to everyone saying, "If you have ANY problem with your order, we would appreciate it if you would give us a chance to address your concerns before leaving feedback. NOTE: less then 4 stars is considered unsatisfactory feedback." I wanted to give them a chance to rectify the situation and contacted them a week ago telling them I'd like my money back. Of course, I have yet to get a response, so I am leaving this rating now. Please save your money and purchase someone else's snood. If I had read the reviews from other people before purchasing I would never have bought these. THEY ARE TERRIBLE.
