Comment on Anon steams up the sauna
Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 month agoOf all the places to wear a hat, why a sauna?
Too keep your head cooler, it originates from the high humidity slavic banya culture.
As high humidity saunas, warm your skin up faster than dry saunas. You’ll not last as long, primarily due to your head overheating. So wearing a thick hat, will insulate your head from the temperature and humidity of the room
Be careful not to wear it inside out. It’ll reverse the effect!
If you’re bald. The head is the most temperature sensitive area. It gets unpleasant too soon if you don’t have hair.
Apparently how long you can spend in the sauna depends on how long it takes your brain to heat up. Insulating your head by wrapping a towel around it means you can stay in the sauna longer.

It’s a sauna hat, where else would you wear it?

If there’s ever been any logic that is sound, it is this one.
