KS_ Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'm not even sure what they're called, so I'm not finding anything when I Google them. It's the hair net/scarf thing that many elderly women wear (or maybe they don't anymore - but one of my grandmas always did, and my other grandma is trying to find them and can't locally). They're made out of a fine net - not mesh with large holes - and tie under the chin. Anyone know what they are or where they can be found? I don't live in the same town as my grandma, so if I could find them online and have them sent to her, that would be great :) Thanks!!

FaithManor Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I believe that the Vermont Country Store has a website. They are known for having all of those old fashioned things that our grannies love! Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KS_ Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 http://www.headcoverings-by-devorah.com/headcoverings_mimkhatah2.htmwas it something like this? No, they're really fine, see-thru netting material (and I don't know even if netting is the right word). My grandma always had these and then the plastic ones for when it rained.

secular_mom Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Oh, I've seen the plastic ones that tie underneath your chin, but not net/mesh ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKim Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I know exactly what you are talking about because my aunt used to wear them over her curlers. I can't find them anywhere either. Not even sure what to call them. Edited to add link. I think it may be these. http://www.heyviv.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=1036 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secular_mom Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 how about these? http://www.cachebeauty.com/hair_nets.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjbeach Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) I guess it's a net Babushka (sic, that's what my mom called them)? Try Sally's near the curlers. I've seen them there. Hair net? Hair scarf? Edited November 2, 2010 by cjbeach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KS_ Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Thanks ladies! I'm going to have my mom look at some of these and see if any are what my grandma is looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaNYC Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 My grandmother wore them too. They were chiffon and so popular in the 1960s/70s. Here's where you can buy them (FaithManor was right): http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/products/apothecary-products/hair-care-products/hair-care-accessories/f54210.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
