maybe it's cause my hair is bleached and my scalp is sensitive so I'm always worried that my hair will be fried if I go into a super hot sauna. One less thing to be anxious about as I'm trying to relaxxxx

Ok word that makes sense, I’ve heard some scary stories about bleached hair in the sauna

Love this! Sauna is essential in my weekly routine, especially in the winter. I also adore Banya (any opportunity to eat Borsch haha). Curious to see so many different types of bathing!!! Will definitely be referring to this.

yay! do you sauna at a studio / club or at home?

Lay Len's avatar

Usually dry sauna at the gym! Hoping one day I will be able to have my own home sauna, would be a dream 🧖🏻‍♀️

What a fun read! We have The Schvitz in Detroit - aptly named, and with a very fun history (used to be run by the Jewish mafia, then was shut down for a little while for having illicit parties). It really does feel like it's own little culture that I get to play tourist in when I need a day to relax.

isn't it fun to be a tourist right around the corner from your home!

isn't it interesting how all of these cultures have come to similar wellness conclusions without communicating with one another about it? and agreed with the mental health benefits of community intertwined here :)
