A metal snood


Snoods

Snood was a silly name for a kind of metallic or - usually - crocheted hairnet which was tragically in vogue in 1983.

Often worn by hippychicks with long flowing tresses and bead necklaces, the aim was to make every girl look like a fairytale princess or peasant maid. In fact, most looked like they had got caught in a trawlerman's net while swimming.

Not sexy.
