HY Hair Net Black Heavy Weight Equestrian Hair Net Secure Riding Hair Accessory

Hy Equestrian Hair Net – Black, Heavy Weight

A heavy-weight hair net in black, for tucking hair up under a riding hat so it stays put for a class. Heavy weight is the denser knit of the two Hy make: it holds a thicker bun or a longer plait without the mesh giving way, where a standard-weight net is enough for finer hair.

Hy's own description of the range is short — an essential for competition and any well turned out occasion, made in several weights and in colours matched to hair tone. They publish nothing beyond that, and where a figure is not theirs, none is given below.

Performance & Benefits

• Heavy weight, the denser of the two knits Hy make.
• Black, chosen from Hy's range of hair-tone colours so the net disappears against dark hair.
• Holds a thicker bun or a longer length than a standard-weight net will.
• Made for competition and formal turnout, which is what Hy list it for.

Suitable For

• Showing, dressage, and any class where turnout is judged.
• Thick or long hair that a standard-weight net will not hold.
• Riders with dark hair, where black is the colour that vanishes.
• Everyday schooling, if you would simply rather hair was out of the way.
• Not the right weight for fine or short hair — Hy's standard-weight net in the matching colour is the lighter option, and they also make blonde, light brown, mid brown and dark brown.

How to Use

• Gather the hair into a bun or a low plait at the back of the head first.
• Stretch the net over it and work the elastic edge around and under the gathered hair.
• Pin through the net into the bun if you want it absolutely fixed for a class.
• Put the riding hat on over the top and check nothing has been pulled loose.
• Rinse in cool water and dry flat if it needs washing; do not stretch it over anything while it dries.

Specification

• Black, heavy weight.
• Hy make the hair net in standard and heavy weights, and in black, blonde, light brown, mid brown and dark brown.
• Hy publish no fibre composition, no net dimensions, no stretched diameter and no pack quantity for this product, so none is stated here.
• Hy's own recommended retail price for the hair net is £2.00.
• Earlier copy on this page described breathable material and use in hygienic environments. That is catering hair-net wording rather than anything Hy say, and it has been removed.
