[A hat that maintains a comfortable temperature, making saunas 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 is a material commonly used in sauna hats. This is because it has excellent insulating 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 the sauna for longer and more comfortably. We hope that both sauna lovers and those who have never been to a sauna before 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 a sauna. Apparently, it's an essential item overseas, where saunas are used regularly. 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. Just 10 minutes in the sauna resulted in a 3°C difference in temperature between wearing the hat and not. This sauna hat, which offers such benefits, was made using felt wool, which has excellent insulating and heat-retaining properties. While most sauna hats are made from wool, they are inconvenient to carry around and often quite expensive. That's why, for this hat, we at nakota chose a soft felt material that's easy to carry and durable enough to fold and retain its shape. We designed it to be comfortable for anyone to use.
[What are the benefits of wearing one?] 01. Prevents overheating: Air has the property of rising when heated. Because heated air in a sauna moves upwards, your head will feel hotter than your legs and torso when sitting in a sauna. Prolonged exposure of your head and face to heat can make you more susceptible to overheating, making you feel dizzy and unwell. 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 hair from drying out: The appeal of a sauna hat is that it prevents hair from drying out due to heat. Because sauna rooms are generally dry and the room temperature is high, hair loses moisture, leaving it dry and brittle. This is a concern for many women, especially. Wearing a sauna hat cuts the heat and prevents moisture from escaping, preventing hair damage!
03. Protect your ears and scalp from pain. When you're in a sauna, the heat can cause pain in your ears and scalp. This can make 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 saunas with less strain.
[What's the best way to use a sauna hat?] Basically, all you need to do is put this sauna hat on while you're in 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 a longer, more comfortable sauna experience, choose a 100% wool one. Most sauna hats are made from wool. This is because of its excellent insulating and heat-retaining properties. In Scandinavia and Russia, where saunas are commonplace, most sauna hats are made from wool, reflecting the desire to enjoy saunas for longer periods of time. While wool may seem hot, it actually blocks out the heat gained in the sauna and keeps your head and ears at a comfortable temperature. This means you may actually feel cooler wearing it. Wool sauna hats are often considered inconvenient to carry. However, we chose a lightweight, soft material that doesn't weigh down your body, so they can be folded up like this. This makes them very convenient for those who normally carry their sauna hats in a large bag, as they can now be carried compactly.
This is nakota's first sauna hat. It's made of wool felt, which is gentle on the skin and highly absorbent. Its low thermal conductivity means it won't get too hot even when used in a sauna. Wearing it in the sauna protects your scalp from the heat and prevents dryness and damage to your hair. It's also hand washable.
