Hy Equestrian Blonde Hair Net Standard Weight Elastic Hair Net for Professional Use

Hy Equestrian Hair Net – Blonde, Standard Weight

Blonde is the lightest of the five shades Hy make this net in, and the point of buying by shade rather than buying black by default is that a matched net disappears against the hair while a contrasting one draws the judge's eye straight to it. Standard weight is the finer of Hy's two weights — enough to hold a tidy bun under a hat, without the bulk of the heavy version.

Hy sell these as competition kit: everyday schooling rarely needs one, but a showing, dressage or working hunter class does, and this is the cheap item that gets forgotten the night before. Buy two. Hair nets snag on hat harnesses and ladder like tights, and one always goes missing in the lorry.

Performance & Benefits

• Blonde shade, chosen to blend with fair hair rather than sit on top of it.
• Standard weight — fine enough to be discreet under a hat at close range.
• Holds a bun or a rolled length of hair flat against the nape, so nothing works loose in a class.
• Elasticated, so one net covers a range of hair lengths and thicknesses.
• Cheap enough to carry spares, which matters because nets ladder easily.

Suitable For

• Showing, dressage, working hunter and any class where turnout is judged.
• Riders with fair or blonde hair.
• Medium hair length and thickness, worn in a bun under a riding hat.
• Anyone who needs hair contained for yard work rather than for looks.
• Not containing enough on its own for very thick or very long hair — the Hy Equestrian Hair Net in Heavy Weight holds more, and there is a Dark Brown standard weight for darker hair.

How to Use

• Gather the hair into a low bun at the nape, below where the hat will sit.
• Stretch the net over the bun and tuck the edge under, working right around so no loose ends show.
• Pin through the net into the bun at three or four points rather than relying on the elastic alone.
• Put the hat on afterwards and check in a mirror that the net has not ridden up at the sides.
• Rinse in cool water and dry flat; do not put it through a washing machine.
