Russians with hats

Last night I had a rare opportunity to be in the YMCA sauna at 9:30 pm, after a nice swim. Three ladies chatting in Russian shared the sauna with me. Two of them were wearing matching white hats, with brims. Why wear a hat in a sauna? Any Russians out there want to clarify if this is a common practice?

    To protect your head (and hair which can get overdry and break) from the heat, my dear. :-)
