Sauna hat benefits

The temperature in the sauna may be up to 90 degrees Celsius and your head is most exposed to the heat when staying inside. It heats up faster than the rest of the body and you have the feeling of being overheated. This may also be one of the reasons you can barely make it few minutes and you rush to run out and cool off. Therefore you may feel dizzy, also your hair can get excessively dry and brittle. So, the sauna hat comes to the rescue here!
