Sometimes worn by European soccer players to store their man buns, what do you call the traditional female headgear that's designed to hold the hair in a cloth or yarn bag?

Essentially, a snood is like tight hood worn over the back of the head, not so dissimilar to a hairnet. Unlike a hairnet, a snood is made from thicker yarn, and resembles a hair sack. Snoods are common in the Orthodox Jewish community, worn mainly by married women.
