Hair care
Why skipping the sauna hat is quietly wrecking your hair
Sauna air is very hot and very dry. Without a hat, that heat reaches your hair directly and pulls the moisture out of it. Over repeated sessions that leaves hair dry, brittle, and prone to damage. A wool felt hat sits between your hair and the heat, so it stays protected.
WITHOUT A HAT
What happens to your hair
- −Direct heat draws moisture out of each strand.
- −Hair becomes dry, brittle, and breaks more easily.
- −Colour-treated hair fades faster in the heat.
- −A hot scalp makes sessions less comfortable.

How the hat protects it
- +Wool felt shields hair from direct heat.

Before you ask
Questions, answered.
Dense wool felt insulates your scalp and ears from the worst of the heat, so your head stays civil while the rest of you cooks. It is the traditional Finnish trick that lets you sit in the room longer and more comfortably. Your hair comes out in better shape too.
