This word was commonly used with roughly that meaning - a kind of
not-necessarily-net-like doodad worn by women on their heads to keep
their (natural) hair in place - During The War (WWII) and later.

I assume that, in the illustration at the URL provided, the "snood" is
that neckerchief-looking cloth that's somewhat around the model's
neck. I've never seen anything like that before.
