Making of Hair Nets An Alsace Bohemia Trade Study
The United States consul at Kehl reports on the hair net trade in Germany and Austria. Hair nets are made from human hair and produced largely by Alsatian and Austrian peasants in homes. Strasburg once led the trade but declines due to coiffure changes and cheaper waste silk nets. Normally Strasburg buys about 12,000 nets yearly. The craft is hereditary, requiring youth to weave with simple tools, tying each hair end to end to form nets.
