The felt sauna hat is the traditional way of cooling the head and the hair during sauna bathing. The sauna hat is first soaked in water and then worn during the sauna.

Keeping your head cool has also been suggested to reduce hair loss, particularly for very regular sauna goers. What's best is that we have them for sale at reception. These are hand made with 100% wool felt.
