Bouffants and hairnets are single-use, lightweight, breathable hair/head covers designed to prevent contamination in industrial and cleanroom environments. The size of a bouffant and hairnet is measured based on the diameter of the head and ranges anywhere from 18 to 28 inches. General purpose and cleanroom bouffants do not have any openings and completely cover the hair, scalp, and ears to minimize skin and hair shedding.

General purpose bouffants and hairnets are used in a variety of environments including, but not limited to food service, food packaging, food processing, healthcare, dental, pharmaceutical, janitorial, manufacturing, and laboratories. Note that bouffants and hairnets are not surgical headwear such as surgical caps/scrub caps worn specifically by surgeons, nurses, or other medical professionals during procedures. Cleanroom bouffants are low-shedding and ISO-rated and are used in a variety of controlled environments, including, but not limited to pharmaceutical, semiconductor, electronics, biotechnology, and food processing.

Hairnets are an economical alternative to bouffants and are designed to keep hair out of the wearer’s eyes and face, as well as preventing hair from being a contaminant. They are offered in human-like hair color to camouflage use, so they are not as noticeable.
