Do you remember?

13 years ago

I work outside a lot and it has been terribly windy here. Because I am allergic to the sun, I can only work out when the sun is not so bright. Anyway, my hair gets bothered with the heat, and humidity so I need some kind of a control. Do any of you remember years ago when they used to wear what they called "snoods" which were made I think out of different colors of something like fishnetting and then it looked like it held your hair and was held on with some kind of ribbons that tied like a hair ribbon. I think they sometimes make those workout bags with the stuff now. What I am interested in is creating some kind of a pattern for one so that I can make several for myself. Thanks if I have in any way made myself clear on this. - Barb

Snoods were popular during the 40's war years. When the women took over the men's jobs they had to find some way of keeping their long hair from getting tangled in machinery. It was simply a large glorified hair net. It might keep you hair out of your eyes but it will do nothing for your hair.

Your best bet to help both your hair and face and keep cool is a straw hat. I have one for gardening that I sewed scarf ties to so I can keep it on on windy days. It does keep you cooler because of the loose weave the wind can blow through and the space between your head and the hat.

Want an extra treat for your hair then treat it with oil and then put on your hat and work outside. When you have a shower and wash the oil out you'd be surprised what it does for your hair.
