Hair collects dust and other debris: potential contaminants for food. Caps should always be worn in commercial or industrial kitchens to prevent contaminants from the head and scalp, including hair, from falling on the food.

In the home kitchen, if hair is long enough to tie back or put up, it should be secured at all times when preparing food.

More information:

Caps are worn to prevent hair and hair debris from falling into food. But they are also a safety measure to prevent long hair from being set on fire over the cook tops or to prevent long hair from getting caught in appliances.
