Why You Should Wear a Sauna Hat

[@rdyer8764]

Short format videos like this are nice too!

[@jameswoodall9261]

I agree!! I trust her so just telling us what to do is enough.

[@Dan_Pfaff]

I love my sauna hat, I've been wearing one for a few years now. I find it really helps me stay in for longer and helps protect my hair from too much heat. I've recently sewn my own one because I couldn't find one while travelling. I haven't met anyone else who wears one so it's nice to see a video on these

[@sarahcoates4376]

They work a treat! We tried ours this week and made such a difference

[@sallyalli4417]

Makes total sense. You learn something new everyday! 😆

[@jameswoodall9261]

Same principal applies while working in the hot sun. I live in south Georgia, USA. We hAVe MANY MIGRATE DOING FIELD WORK. wHEN THEY FIRST STARTED ARRIVING WE WERE SURPRISED to see them wearing long sleeved shirts with hoods. Sweat shirts even. We finally caught on and fell in line. Good to have a couple to replace a really wet one.

[@rowanmulvey8632]

I will definitely give this a go, thank you. So true that it is the head that overheats on me first, long before my body. This is great information to have!

[@pollykaris6528]

I was never keen on the sauna (I prefer the humidity of steam) but have been trying sauna for variety. I’m definitely going to get a sauna hat so it can help prolong my visits. Thanks for the tip.

[@thefeelingiforgot]

I learned this in the Russian bathhouses of Brooklyn! I absolutely love a hat in the sauna.

[@jamesj4998]

I have a mobile wood burning sauna and this has inspired me to sew my own sauna hats out of wool felt 😄

[@LauraTryUK]

oh wow! your sauna sounds incredible! You'll love wearing a hat, especially when putting water on the coals the the humidity ramps up - the hat will be a game changer. And so cute you are going to make your own!

[@earthmamma85]

Ok, so I’m digging the sauna hat… I’d wear it out in public. lol.

[@LauraTryUK]

lol! My mum actually makes it looks quite fashionable 😎

[@Indoor-Cycling-Revolution]

Makes sense. My head generally heats up because of my ego…but I am intrigued by wearing nothing but my 100% felt wool black cowboy hat in the sauna. Seems right - 🤪

[@1881Gordon]

😂😂😂. Brilliant comment.

[@ushere5791]

wow--i'd never heard of sauna hats, but i may have to try one now. thanks, laura!

[@PonteVerdial]

What a great idea!! Love your channel soo many weird and wonderful explorations and ideas!! Right up my street! Well done for pushing on through and making such a success of your channel! Very inspiring! 👏 👏 👏

[@mairead354]

The hat looks great on you outside the sauna, though! 😄 Really suits you!

[@ElenaKamesh76]

Hello, yep i knew sauna hat benefits but never worn it there 😂, have allergie for wool. I miss banya here in Italy it's not hot enough for me.

[@diananagydina]

I have seen this in Switzerland and had to google immediately. You do much better than google ❤ So ever since then I was meaning to try this but I got so much hair and dreads, also long so I would need a really big hat 😂 and sometimes been wondering if all my hair acts maybe similar to a sauna hat? (All natural 💁🏻‍♀️ )

[@asugarholicslife]

I tried a sauna a few years ago but don't have access to one now on a regular basis. Never heard of a suana hat before but now I want to find a sauna to try it. Looking forward to the Russian Banya video in the future!

[@LexxEllison]

Had my first sauna in an absolute age yesterday. A couple of hot cycles,cold showers in between etc. Sweated like a beast on the cycle home. Had to have another shower at home.😅 Will certainly try out a hat. If only the leisure centre would crank up the temp.🌞

[@amandahurley]

American here, I love my sauna hat!! ❤️

[@JL-iw5kx]

Bought one today: trying it out tomorrow!

[@kristinek7436]

I wear the sauna hat. I like that it protects my head, hair, and my ears. My ears are very sensitive to heat. 🙂

[@LauraTryUK]

Sauna Hat Club 👊

[@pon1952leod]

My Russian friend schooled me about sauna hats and gave me one!!

[@remmer7010]

Thanks for reminding me. I use a spray heat protector on my hair but keep meaning to buy a hat.

[@sugarray29]

Never heard or seen anyone wearing a hat in the sauna before. I have seen people use menthol in the sauna stinking it out. Must try the sauna again soon and working out regular again. Thanks Laura,👏🏽

[@anniwilson2534]

I’ve been wearing a hat or wool buff in the sauna since visiting Arctic Sauna World in Finland, where people there wore them (for the reasons you mention). They also take a beer into the sauna, and follow with a dip in the ice lake. Imagine if that was in the UK, people would get white girl wasted on too much alcohol, then drown 😂

[@aminemaravalo31]

Laura With the hat looking very very nice 😍👍💕💕 You have a wonderful mother too. 💕💕

[@yieldforpeace]

Ok I'm convinced 👌🏼

[@LauraTryUK]

please let me know what you think!

[@Ashenkaniku]

Don't wet a sauna hat! if you do: straight to jail.. Sauna hat's are a must for ultimate sauna relaxation. My fave sauna temperature is about 65-70 celsius and a sauna hat makes it enjoyable for longer without needing to get out. Tip: do a quick shower rinse before going into sauna to wash off any dust or sweat, so that your pores are clear in the heat. If you get too hot, jump out and do a cool shower for at least 30 sec, up to a minute, then jump back into the sauna. So refreshing! Keep hair dry as much as possible.

[@doomcake2020]

10/10 tips! Also ice baths between sauna sessions are the best.

[@FSstefan7]

So do you need to wet your hair after hitting the gym, and sauna after? I’m planning to use the hat after so id like to know if it does harm to your hair by showering first including the head, wear the hat after in the sauna

[@Ashenkaniku]

@@FSstefan7 I've showered first then used sauna after. I found that a hat works well on wet hair because it protects it from the heat hitting my scalp, since wet hair can get the head hot faster without a hat on. Like the video mentioned, the hat works like insulation between the heat and your head, keeping the head from overheating. Definitely wear the hat after a shower if you're going to the sauna!

[@shaunjbaird123]

Hi, I've never heard of it before, but I'm not exactly a frequent sauna user either. I think I'd feel a bit silly in a public sauna but wouldn't mind if or when I build one at my house

[@LauraTryUK]

I do feel a bit silly sometimes, but have got used to it. Then feel smug when other people have to lead because their head overheats. Its a great conversation starter.

[@robertalynch5433]

Gotta get one now. Thanks.

[@IrishDragon666]

Had no idea! Trying this for Badwater training! :D

[@mrreian]

I love my sauna hat. The scalp is one thing, but the hot air on the ears can be excruciating ;D

[@rainbowtravelingyogi]

I really appreciate this❤ thank you✨💕

[@Daily_maya]

Not only have I never tried, but I have never heard of a sauna hat! I have a question about your sauna habits. We can see in the video that you wear swimsuits that are made of synthetic materials. I understand that you don't want to record yourself and your loved ones naked in the sauna :) but are the rules of your sauna such that you have to wear swimsuits? Why not naked or in just a cotton towel?

[@LauraTryUK]

great question - it's common practice to wear a swimsuit in saunas in the UK. I am gearing myself up to wear a cotton towel at some point soon as don't like the idea of wearing synthetic material in the sauna.

[@marygarrett9724]

My head sweats a lot in the sauna, I think that adds to hair loss???

[@vidz953]

Very neat!

[@zanesustika1885]

Definitely i will try it😊

[@OnzaRaybone]

Is the type of sauna an issue? I have infra red, the one you're using looks like a dry heat sauna..

[@2Peachcobler]

Never heard of a sauna hat until I saw this video. But it all makes sense because when I sit in the sauna my hair feels like it’s on fire.

[@doomcake2020]

True sauna lovers wear hats! I hope you love your banya trip, can't wait to hear about it!

[@juhaokkonen1356]

Don't say true sauna lovers. It's always a personal choice. It works both ways. I'm from Finland. We have very old sauna culture. Sauna is actually a finnish work. E8-) I got to sauna with my neighbors six days a week. One day is for cleaning sauna. So I can certainly claim to be a sauna lover and prefer not to use sauna hat. It's used more in our neighboring countries Russia and Estonia.

[@perTablet-kp6rm]

Very interesting thank you.

[@TheMarnya]

I live in Japan and many people wear these in the communal saunas. Naked, of course.

[@david.leikam]

I love Sauna! 😅

[@faos65]

Send love to you and your mom 🥰😘

[@alenakz2077]

Russians always wear hats in sauna. Actually saunas are popular culturally - even little kids go.

[@anastasiyal]

always wear a sauna hat!

[@rager4able]

Is there a sauna hat that covers your eyes?

[@HighlandCowWoodworking]

I’m not sure I could look that daft in my sauna, I feel some amount of mocking could be inbound 😂

[@NicoVeenkamp]

Wearing hats in the sauna is very popular in Germany. In the Netherlands not so much. I can understand your arguments, but never experienced this myself. Wearing a bathing costume in the sauna is very unhygienic, just FYI.

[@susanbyrne7946]

Who knew!

[@Kate_Kestrel]

I once saw two women dressed in full saris in a sauna so this doesn’t phase me. 😅

[@professlch6347]

LOL: the stock footage IS so cringey! Great tip.

[@LauraTryUK]

the worst! I'd have used a video with me in, but the saunas I visit don't allow cameras and phones. Cringe stock footage it is

[@trailsandbeers]

Hats are probably not allowed in Germany and Switzerland saunas.

[@mrmausz2079]

Comment for you tub algorithms - for more views.

[@lindas.2776]

Maybe knitting you own hat might be less expensive.

[@dpolina1]

I'm yet to find a sauna in this country that's hot enough for a hat. When it's so hot your ears are curling, you'd be begging for one.

[@LauraTryUK]

which country are you?

[@dpolina1]

@LauraTryUK Now UK, London. I'm from Russia originally so have been going to sauna from early age. You'll need a hat in a proper hot sauna, fashion implications aside. As a teenager I wore 15 den tights in the winter in -15, because fashion. 😀 I would still put a hat on in a sauna despite looking silly and not risk the tips of my ears burning.

[@wild_insomnia]

[@JackieMoss]

Must be a European thing. 😂😂😂

[@mamimumi7589]

Well. Sauna is Finnish thing.
