Wool Felted Handmade Sauna Hat - Black, Blue and White Stripes

These wonderful quirky, handmade wool sauna hats are crafted from 100% super soft wool felt that gently protect your head from the heat, letting you relax and enjoy your time in the sauna for longer.

They are not only a fun way to embrace those popular Nordic wellness rituals, but they also really work.

While it may at first seem counterintuitive to wear a woollen hat in a sauna, they have been used across Europe for centuries to enhance the psychological and physiological benefits of sauna bathing by protecting the head from overheating, enabling longer, more relaxing sauna sessions.

In the sauna, our heads heat up much faster than the rest of our bodies, and this can cause us to feel uncomfortable or even make us unwell, meaning we end a sauna session before we have really reaped the full benefits.

Wool felt is exceptionally insulating and wearing a thick wool hat actually prevents the hot air of the sauna from reaching our heads too quickly, meaning our bodies heat up more evenly, so we can enjoy longer, safer and more comfortable sauna sessions in which we are able to truly unwind.

Felt sauna hats can be used outdoors, especially to protect your head from the cold or to preserve body heat during activities like winter hot tub soaks or after a cold plunge.

While they are designed to protect your head from intense heat in a sauna, their insulating properties also make them effective for keeping warm in cooler, outdoor conditions.

Sauna hats also help to prevent damage to hair, which can otherwise become dry and brittle from exposure to heat and steam.
