[A hat that maintains a comfortable temperature, making your sauna even more enjoyable] Manager Yoshida recently learned about the unprecedented sauna boom. After visiting a sauna and learning about the wonders of sauna hats, he created the first sauna hat at nakota. Wool, a material commonly used in sauna hats, is a material known for its excellent insulation properties. It blocks out the heat gained in the sauna and keeps your head at a comfortable temperature. A sauna hat is essential for enjoying your sauna for longer and more comfortably. We hope that both sauna enthusiasts and those who have never been to one will enjoy this stylish hat.
[A hat that can be worn not only in the sauna but also in everyday life.] As the name suggests, a sauna hat is a hat worn in the sauna. Apparently, it's an essential item overseas, where saunas are a daily occurrence. Its purpose is to prevent overheating and protect the head and hair from the heat. A previous video showed the effects of wearing a sauna hat. After just 10 minutes in the sauna, there was a 3°C difference in temperature between wearing a hat and not. This sauna hat, which offers these benefits, is made using felt wool, which has excellent insulation and heat retention. Most sauna hats are made from wool, but they are inconvenient to carry around and often quite expensive. That's why we chose a soft felt material for the hat we've created at nakota, which is portable and durable enough to hold its shape even when folded. We designed it so that anyone can wear it without hesitation.
[What benefits does wearing a sauna hat provide?] 01. Prevents overheating: Air has the property of rising when heated. Heated air in a sauna moves upwards, so when you sit in a sauna, your head will become hotter than your legs and torso. Prolonged exposure of your head and face to heat can make you more susceptible to overheating, causing dizziness and nausea. Sauna hats have low thermal conductivity and do not heat up easily, even in high room temperatures, protecting your head from heat and preventing overheating. 02. Protects your hair from dryness: The appeal of a sauna hat is that it prevents hair from drying out due to heat. Sauna rooms are generally dry and the temperature is high, which can cause hair to lose moisture and become brittle. This is a concern for many women, especially. Wearing a sauna hat cuts the heat and prevents moisture loss, helping to protect your hair from damage!
03. Protect your ears and scalp from pain. The heat in a sauna can cause ear and scalp pain, making it difficult to stay in for long periods of time. Wearing a sauna hat reduces direct damage to your head, and covering your ears also reduces ear damage. Therefore, even those who have previously endured pain from the heat can now enjoy a sauna with less strain.
[What's the best way to use a sauna hat?] Basically, all you need to do is put on this sauna hat when you enter the sauna. The key is to cover your scalp and ears. If you're concerned about this, you can wear it deep enough to cover your eyes. For longer, more comfortable sauna experiences, choose a 100% wool hat. Most sauna hats are made from wool, thanks to their excellent insulation and heat retention properties. In Scandinavia and Russia, where saunas are a common sight, sauna hats are mostly made of wool, reflecting the desire to enjoy saunas for long periods of time. While wool may seem hot, it actually blocks out the heat gained in the sauna and keeps the head and ears at a comfortable temperature. This means that wearing one may actually feel cooler. Wool sauna hats are often considered inconvenient to carry around. However, we chose a lightweight, soft material that doesn't put too much strain on the body, so they can be folded up like this. This makes them very convenient for those who normally carry sauna hats in large bags, as they can now be carried compactly.
