Historically, hairnets have been used for fashion. These fashion hairnets are often referred to as snoods. They originated around 700 AD. The modern uses for snoods include using them with wedding hair or formal events where the hair is worn up. These fashion items are often embellished with jewels and laced to match whatever outfit the person is wearing, or to compliment their hair colour. Snoods are also used to keep dread locked hair as tidy as possible, and to decorate longer or shorter hair by adding unique decorative touches. The items usually have drawstrings, elastic bands, or are occasionally fixed to the person's hair with a hairpin attachment.

Traditional hairnets are often used in the food service and preparation industry. Most states require food service workers to adorn hairnets to avoid contamination of food products. Furthermore, food production workers also may be required to wear hairnets at work. Occupations such as fast food workers, food prep employees, and mixing or blending production workers use hairnets. They are also used by members of the health care industry. Hairnets keep stray strands from getting in the face which can cause a distraction during a health procedure. While hairnets are not traditional wear for health aides, they can be used in addition to the typical scrub attire.
