The Sauna Mistake That Could Be Harming You

 

Your body can handle heat.


Your head usually can’t, and using the sauna without protecting your head may be leading to long term head and hair damage without you even noticing. 

 

Here's why:

Your head takes the harshest heat in the sauna.

Sauna heat rises.


The hottest, driest air collects at the top.

 

That layer hits your cranial tissue and your scalp and ears first: thin, highly-vascular, exposed tissue with very little natural protection.

 

Prolonged exposure without protection could increase the risk of overheating, dehydration and long-term hair damage.

The Simple Fix Serious Sauna-Goers Use

They insulate their head with a sauna hat.

 

In Northern Europe, where sauna use dates back thousands of years, sauna hats aren’t a trend. They’re standard practice.

 

Proper insulation for the part of the body that overheats first.

The Sauna Towel

£35.00

Organically grown 100% cotton waffle weave towel, designed especially for the sauna. 

Entirely made from organic natural fibres, so no synthetics shed into the hot sauna air for you to breathe into your lungs.

The open waffle weave has 40% more surface area - it dries twice as fast as a normal towel helping it stay fresh between sessions. Bacteria need damp to survive, and a towel that dries completely doesn't give them any. 

Thick and soft from the first use, enough that you won't feel the hot wood through it or have bench burns and splinters. We made it long enough (160 x 80cm) to lie down full-length on cotton instead of timber.

Most regulars bring two towels, one to sit on and one for showering after the session.
