Hairnet Prob.

[Eden_Rayn]

Hello Everyone!
I just got tranfered to a new department at my job (grocery store) and I am now required to wear my hair under a hat (baseball) or hairnet at all times. However I am at a loss for how to wear it and not give myself a headache by the end of the day. I have mastered the french tuck but that is very limiting and I do not like wearing my hair the same way everyday.

HELP!

You're at work and your hair is covered. Just make it functional.

If doing your hair the same way everyday is what works best with your length and the covering, then do the same thing everyday.

You can take it down and do it however you fancy when you are off work.

I feel your pain. I work as a waitress and thankfully I don't have to use a hat or hairnet constantly, but I do need one whenever I prepare food personally or stock the salad bar.

I discovered that hairnets are hairstick-friendly for the most part. I frequently wear a cinnamon bun with two hairsticks in the X position, and the holes in the net stretch wide enough to let the stick poke through. Hairnets are also generally stretchy enough that they fit over the hairsticks (or any kind of clip or fork) nicely if they are too big to poke through the holes.

Buns in general are really great for hairnets, because they easily fit under them. A low bun would work with a hat. I see that your hair isn't too long, but you can definitely do some buns.

I think that the french tuck you mentioned is a french braid that is tucked under at the bottom, which is very pretty, and you could switch things up by adding different clips or decorated hairsticks to it for decoration.

You can also try using hairagami or EZ combs to make hair styles. Both work well on shoulder-length hair. Also, a french twist should be easy for you.

Don't be afraid to use claw clips and other big hair toys. Like I said, hairnets are stretchy and will fit over your hairstyle easily.

I remember when I used to have to wear a hairnet and a hat for one of my jobs, I used to bring my hair out of the back of the hat (like a ponytail) and bun it from there, then put the hairnet over the bun and finally weave the hairpins or hairsticks through. Used to stay in place all day and looked neat as well. :)

You've listed your length at around 15 inches, so at this point it really shouldn't be too long to present too much of a problem to ponytail, bun and tuck it underneath the hairnet. You could also do a half-pulled out ponytail, at your current length that shouldn't be too hard to wear under the hairnet.

does it have to be a store issued hairnet or can you use something like a snood to keep your hair covered and contained?
I love my snoods just for keeping my hair under control but not strangled. They don't sit at the hairline, though, so I don't know if that would work?

What a cute idea! Makes me want to wear a baseball cap just to put a bun up behind it. I love the look of this with ponytails

I've got to agree with this. As much as I love the idea of having some new and exciting hair style every day, there are times when I just have to stick with one practical, tried-and-true hairstyle. For example, at gymnastics I would love to try all these different buns or even have it loose or what ever, but for practicality, it has to be a tight bun at the back of my head, and I've figured out a braided knot secured with a scrunchie will usually stay put the whole workout so that's what I do - every practice.
