RE: What is a snood?
From my Facebook friends who are re-enactors, my understanding is that at least in the US, the term "snood" in the 19th century referred to the decorative band that a fancy hairnet attached to, not the hairnet itself. There is a nice example of a dressy hairnet here:

Modern-day brightly colored and crocheted snoods are frowned upon by re-enactment purists.
