The LUUN Experience

Why Wear a LUUN?

The human head is constructed in a very different way from most of the human body. Unlike most of the human form, the head is not protected by fatty tissue – the scalp separates hair from bone with only a thin layer of connecting tissue.

This means the most intense temperatures are felt stronger here than almost anywhere else.  The scalp also has almost three times as many capillaries as the rest of the body – which makes a big difference in extreme cold and heat. Not only do you lose heat quickly through your head, but it can either overheat, or freeze, very quickly.

Hot Tub Benefits

Most people use hot tubs more frequently in the winter-time, where the balance of cold air and hot water is highly relaxing. Unfortunately, the combination of cold winter wind, freezing steam, and icy temperatures and combine to freeze hair, and reduce hot tub session time to only a brief period.

The LUUN™ Värma is highly effective in protecting against cranial heat loss and wet hair, as well as protecting longer hair (especially for women). The specially-crafted Värma design and material locks heat in, but allows moisture to escape – normalizing head temperature, while keeping your head dry.

Sauna Benefits

In the sauna, your head heats up much faster than the rest of your bodies, and this can cause you to feel uncomfortable or out of sorts - often resulting I the sauna session ending before you've really reaped the full benefits.

LUUN Bastu Sauna hats are exceptionally insulating - they actually prevent the hot air of the sauna from reaching your head too quickly, meaning your bodies heats up more evenly, so you can enjoy longer, safer and more comfortable sauna sessions in which you're able to truly unwind. Sauna hats also help to prevent damage to hair, which can otherwise become dry and brittle from exposure to heat and steam

When wearing the hat in the Sauna, you'll also notice that your head perspires less - thanks to the protection against the waves of heat, your scalp temperature is normalized, and this in turn reduces perspiration.

Regardless of where you wear your LUUN, the net effect is a better experience, longer enjoyment, and greater relaxation!
