hajköténye

A hajköténye, or hair apron, is a piece of clothing designed to protect the wearer's shoulders and upper chest from hair clippings during a haircut. It is commonly used by hairdressers and barbers in salons and barbershops. The hajköténye is typically made from a waterproof or water-resistant material such as nylon or vinyl, making it easy to clean and disinfect.

These aprons usually feature ties or a clasp at the neck to secure them around the wearer's head. The size and shape can vary, but they are generally large enough to cover the front of the body from the neck down to the waist. Some hajköténye may also include pockets or loops for holding small tools like scissors or combs. The primary function is to prevent loose hairs from falling onto clothing, which can be uncomfortable and difficult to remove.

Beyond professional settings, hajköténye can also be used at home by individuals cutting their own hair or a family member's hair. They are a simple yet effective way to maintain cleanliness during the haircutting process and reduce the need for extensive cleaning afterward. The material choice ensures that hair clippings do not stick to the apron and can be easily brushed or shaken off.
