What food service hair nets do
Food service hair nets keep hair and loose particles out of food and off clean surfaces. The honeycomb mesh captures strands while letting air circulate, so the net stays comfortable through long services without overheating the head.
- Secure hold — an extra-fine 0.8 mm elastic keeps the net in place, even on long or thick hair.
- One size — the stretch perimeter of up to 110 cm (43.3 in) fits all head sizes.
- Latex-free — suitable for staff with sensitive skin or latex allergies.
- Hygienic packing — each net is individually wrapped in tissue paper.

Hair restraints and the FDA Food Code
Section 2-402.11 of the FDA Food Code requires food employees to wear hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets, and beard restraints, that effectively keep their hair from contacting exposed food, clean equipment, utensils, linens and unwrapped single-service articles. State and local health codes adopt this rule in their own editions.
Direct Eco Green supplies these hair nets as the base layer of a hair-restraint policy: wear the net so it covers all hair from roots to ends, and add a bouffant cap or chef's cap on top where your plan requires double coverage. Staff with beards should also wear a disposable beard cover.
Hair nets are single use. Do not wash and reuse them; discard each net at the end of the shift or when it is damaged.
Compliance and environmental claims
Hair restraints, beard covers and aprons are not among the six product categories covered by Canada's Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations (checkout bags, cutlery, stir sticks, straws, ring carriers and certain foodservice ware), which the Federal Court of Appeal confirmed on January 30, 2026 remain in force.
Nylon hair nets are a single-use hygiene product, so avoid unqualified "biodegradable" or "eco-friendly" claims when you resell them: the FTC Green Guides require environmental claims to be specific and substantiated. If you need a material declaration for your HACCP file, ask for it with your quote.
Custom colors and private label
Direct Eco Green offers food service hair nets in white, black or a custom color, which helps distinguish teams or zones. Private-label packaging is available for distributors, and hair nets can ship with gloves and aprons in a single consolidated order.
Why source hair nets from Direct Eco Green
Direct Eco Green is a sourcing partner based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, working directly with audited factories in Asia and Europe instead of reselling distributor stock. For high-volume buyers of hair nets, that means a lower total cost of ownership, on-site quality control before shipping, and one consolidated shipment for PPE, gloves and food packaging.

Frequently asked questions
Are Direct Eco Green hair nets latex-free?
Yes. Direct Eco Green food service hair nets are made from fine nylon with a latex-free elastic. The factory describes the hair nets as hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin.
Will one hair net size fit long hair?
Yes. The food service hair net is one size and stretches to a 110 cm (43.3 in) circumference, and the 0.8 mm elastic holds long and thick hair securely.
Do hair nets meet the FDA Food Code hair restraint rule?
Section 2-402.11 of the FDA Food Code requires hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets that keep hair away from exposed food and clean equipment. Food service hair nets are one of the restraint types the rule names; your health inspector applies the local edition.
Can food service hair nets be reused?
No. Food service hair nets are single-use and should be discarded after each shift or when damaged. Washing and reusing a hair net undermines its hygiene role.
What colors and MOQ are available for hair nets?
Hair nets are available in white, black or a custom color. The MOQ depends on color and packaging and is stated in your Direct Eco Green quote, sent within 48 hours.
