What is an example of proper hair restraint?

• A. Hair net or cap
• B. Loose hair
• C. Bandana without cap
• D. Hair tucked behind the ear only

Answer: (A)

Hair restraint is about keeping all head hair contained so it can’t fall into food or onto surfaces. The best example is wearing a hair net or cap, which fully covers and secures hair and stays in place during work. This prevents stray hairs from shedding and helps maintain a clean, safe work environment.

Loose hair can fall into food, creating contamination. A bandana without a cap may not secure hair properly and can come loose, leaving hair exposed. Tucking hair behind the ear only protects a small portion and leaves the rest exposed, so it doesn’t adequately prevent contact with food or surfaces.
