Hy Equestrian Hair Net – Dark Brown, Standard Weight

A hair net is the small thing that decides whether a turnout looks finished. This is Hy’s standard-weight knit in dark brown, made to hold a bun or a plait tight against the nape so nothing works loose under a hat over a round of jumping or a long showing class.

Hy make the net in five colours chosen to disappear against hair rather than to be seen — black, blonde, dark brown, light brown and mid brown — and in two weights. Standard is the finer of the two: less bulk under a hat, and the right choice for average or fine hair.

Performance & Benefits

• Standard-weight knit — the finer of the two weights Hy produce, so it sits flatter under a riding hat.
• Dark brown is matched to hair tone rather than to a colour scheme, so the net reads as invisible at a distance.
• Holds a bun or a plait in place for the length of a class without slipping.
• Fine enough to wear under a hat without adding pressure points.
• Part of a five-colour range, so the net can be matched to the rider rather than to the yard.

Suitable For

• Competition, showing and any well turned-out occasion.
• Riders with average or fine hair, worn under a riding hat.
• Dark brown and brunette hair.
• Everyday schooling where hair needs keeping out of the way.
• Thick or very long hair is better held by the heavy-weight version of this net, which uses a denser knit.

How to Use

• Gather the hair into a low bun or a plait at the nape before the net goes on.
• Stretch the net over the whole bun and tuck the edge under, rather than sitting it on top.
• Put the riding hat on over the net and check nothing has been pulled loose at the sides.
• Rinse by hand in cool water and air dry; do not wring it or put it through a machine.
• Keep it away from hook-and-loop fastenings and hairpins, which snag the knit.

Specification

• Colour: dark brown. Weight: standard.
• Hy also make the net in black, blonde, light brown and mid brown, and in a heavy weight.
• Hy publish no fibre composition, net diameter or pack quantity for their hair nets, so none is stated here.
• Some retail listings describe hair nets of this type as breathable and hygienic catering wear; that wording does not come from Hy and does not apply to a riding net.
