I recently acquired a bunch of vintage hair nets. I was curious about if they actually were worth using. So, dear vintage readers, I'd like to use you as my testers. I am offering up five hair nets to five different DVM readers. The catch is that you must blog about your usage of the hair net within three weeks of your receipt of the hair net. I'd like to see how you styled your hair in usage of a hair net and if you really thought they were worth using.
I'm ending the giveaway March 29th.
I will ship internationally, but remember you will also need to blog about what you think of hair nets. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Once you are notified of your win, I'll ask you your hair type and try to match up as best as possible.
There are five opportunities to win!
<NOTE I REALIZED RAFFLECOPTER WILL NOT ALLOW MULTIPLE WINNERS SO I WILL DRAW WINNERS RANDOMLY, LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW IF INTERESTED.>
This one below is made of human hair but it's not as fragile as you'd think. I do have a couple of synthetic types but most are human hair. I have all kinds of different colors so if you win, we can try and match you up. Our vintage lady counterparts must have used these in abundance. I wonder if they do the trick and hold you hair in place naturally and maybe with a nice pin curl set. We shall see:)
A hair net... made of hair? How bizarre and fascinating. I'd certainly be game for trying out (and reviewing) these!
ReplyDeleteThose things are so small but they do contain a lot of history!
ReplyDeleteI love having and using stuff like this, only with things like this you can really go back to the past...

I would love to give one of those hair nets a try! Are they all made from really hair? I recently received one as a gift but it's made for someone with white or gray hair. Still, it's a neat items with great packaging.

I have a lot of brown hair ones, but I do also have white as well. I think I will list some more details about what types I do have.
DeleteThat's for posting the extra details on the hair nets. Love the packaging, so pretty! The dark brown looks like it would be a good match for my hair.
DeleteI actually have a wig, well partial wig, that belonged to my mom. It's made of human hair. She wore it when she worked in Boston back in the 60s! Now I have to see if I can find a picture of her with her hair styled with it. I'm sure she used it to create that big 60s pouf. :)
I should mention that I do have some synthetic types too. I also opened the package to the real hair one and it isn't as fragile as you might think. So, for those of you that might be a little creeped out by real hair lol, I do have a couple of synthetics.
ReplyDeleteI think you ladies might also be interested in seeing what it actually looks like so, I'll do another post to show the contents.
ReplyDeleteI would love to add this to my vintage collection.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try one of these out!
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in trying, I think. I use a hair net a lot especially to cover my hair at night, but I'm intrigued by the idea of trying a vintage one. I wonder what kind of reception it would get if human hair ones were available for sale these days!
ReplyDeleteI admit when I first heard the words human hair I was a little hesitant but then I thought about hair extensions and wigs that we use today so I thought that this was a nifty little item and I also can see how it would blend in altogether. Isn't it amazing that these items have lasted so long? And, they are actually quite well preserved and not as fragile as you'd think!
DeleteOoh! I'd love to give it a try. I have been wearing modern hair nets recently to keep my hair up at the back (because I'm stu ck at that awkward not long, not short stage. I've never tried original ones made of human hair though. If I win I'd be happy to cover postage to Australia- it's a bit pricey for you otherwise. xx Shauna
ReplyDeleteNo worries at all on postage if you win, these envelopes do not cost much to mail at all:) Thank you for thinking of this:))
DeleteI'm so happy to see so many of you "game" for this adventure. I can't wait to see how you all fare with these nets. Fun, fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm cool with human hair; I don't really mind. I recently tried out a 1960s synthetic hair net for the first time to hold my hair down in the back of my updo for my engagement shoot (shown here in our video: http://flashbacksummer.blogspot.com/2014/01/save-date-video.html). It did wonders! There were gale-force winds outside, but my 'do stayed perfectly in place with the help of a load of hairspray and the hair net! It was also invisible, perfect for a photo shoot!
ReplyDeleteSince then I've wanted to see what I could do with hair nets in daily life, maybe with a pin curl set, especially in the "wind tunnel" that is my route to classes!
How wonderfully exciting and generous of you, sweet Joanna! I've bought and tried to use three vintage hair nets, all synthetic, over the years, and every single one quite literally disintegrated in my hands as soon as I took it out of its package, so I'd have zero qualms with a human hair one (as I suspect it would be much stronger and unlikely for that to happen).
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for this great giveaway!

That is interesting Jessica. Thanks for the tid bit of information. It's a shame the synthetic didn't work out. The few that I have in this batch seem to be sturdy but I haven't really handled them so maybe they might just do the same thing. It is quite amazing they've lasted this long.
DeleteCount me in. I'm curious to try one and review it.
