Wikipedia says:

The word was first recorded in Old English from sometime around 725.[1] It was widely used in the Middle Ages for a variety of cloth or net head coverings, including what we would today call hairbands and cauls, as well as versions similar to a modern net snood.[citation needed] Snoods continued in use in later periods, especially for women working or at home.[citation needed]
