What is a sauna hat?

“Sauna hats are wool or cotton hats worn in saunas”.

In Finland, the home of sauna, sauna hats are owned by people as a matter of course, just like a piece of clothing.

Since the recent sauna boom in Japan, the number of people wearing sauna hats has been increasing, and the awareness of sauna hats is slowly spreading!

How about those of you overseas who are reading this? Let me know in the comments how it’s going!

Benefits of Sauna Hats

Now, let us introduce the specific benefits of sauna hats!

(1) Prevents heat from concentrating on the head

Generally speaking, heat tends to go to the top, and this is also true in the sauna room.

In such a case, a person sitting on his or her knees or in a normal sitting position(?) will have the highest temperature.

In this case, the head is at the highest point in the sauna room!
You can read more about the temperature difference in the article below!

(2) Prevent damage to hair.

If you leave your hair in the sauna room without a sauna hat or towel over your head, you can expect considerable damage to your hair from the heat.

In addition, perms and coloring are very sensitive to heat, and repeated drying and wetting will accelerate perm fading and color fading.

Therefore, wearing a sauna hat with a heat blocking effect will prevent heat from reaching the head, thus preventing such damage to the hair!

(3) It protects the skin around the face.

When you are in the sauna room without a sauna hat or towel, the thin skin around your face will inevitably tingle and hurt a little due to the heat.

At such times, wearing a sauna hat with low heat conductivity will protect the skin around the scalp and ears!

Seems like with less damage to your scalp, you won’t have to worry about going too bald!

(4) The only fashionable thing about being naked

Sauna hats come in a wide variety of designs, colors, and fabrics, so one sauna hat can be unique!

Once you own a sauna hat, I think you will be very interested in the sauna hats of the people around you!

Also, by owning a sauna hat, you can make it known that you are a “full-fledged sauna man” and take pride in your sauna hat!

Types of Sauna Hats

We have introduced sauna hats up to this point, but you may be asking yourself, “What are the different types of sauna hats? and “What are the differences in materials?
Here is a brief introduction of the different types of sauna hats.

Wool (wool felt) sauna hats

Wool is wool, and I think it is the most mainstream material for sauna hats!

・The advantages of wool are that it is more effective in blocking heat, more durable, and requires less care.

・The disadvantages are that it is difficult to wash (hand-washing is recommended), it is stiff and cannot be folded, it wrinkles strangely, the price is a little high, and it easily loses its shape!

Towel Fabric Sauna Hats

As the name suggests, you can think of toweling fabric as a towel in the shape of a sauna hat!

・The advantages are that it is easy to wash, can be used both dry and wet, inexpensive, and wrinkle-free, making it easy to carry around.

・The disadvantages are that it is easy to get fluff and threads and sometimes needs to be cleaned, and there is a possibility of tearing!
