Q. What are the differences between bouffant caps and hair nets?

Answer

The foremost difference between bouffant caps and hair nets is that the former are made of nylon or polyester mesh material, while the latter is ideally made of non-woven polypropylene material or cotton. Secondly, when hair nets are stretched over the head one can notice a webbing effect or small holes which allow hair to pass through whereas a bouffant cap is made from a layer of non woven fabric that has no openings. Another difference between a hair net and bouffant cap is that a hair net cannot be easily distinguished when worn whereas a bouffant cap stands right out making it easier for compliance checks.
