Glenn at Sauna Times posted today about how a sauna fits into his hair care regimen:
I used no shampoo for 74 straight days. I took a sauna 3-4 times a week. Each sauna, I took 3-4 rounds, jumping into the clear cool lake water between rounds. That’s it.
His solution is simple: Wet your hair before going into the sauna.
For those of you who sauna hotter, there are a few more solutions. You can get a felt sauna hat as is popular in the Russian Banya. These are made from sheep’s wool get a dunk in cold water just before going into the sauna. They are available in a staggering amount of different styles.
The other option is to put a damp towel on your head. If you don’t want to look like the Gumbys, you can roll your towel in the Korean style, and look a bit like Princess Leia. See the video below.
