12 tips to keep sumptuous & healthy hair in Bangkok
The way you wash your hair and the products you use are the main causes of hair condition. Combined with a few good life habits, you can easily achieve and maintain shiny, smooth, healthy looking hair all along the year.
Here are our 12 best tips to maintain and enhance hair health for gorgeous hair every day !
1- Identify your hair and scalp condition
– Do you have oily hair and scalp?
In this case we recommend washing your hair more frequently, on a daily basis.
– Do you have chemically treated hair (coloured, straightened, permed) ?
Then your hair surely tends to be dry. In this situation you should wash them less often. Every 2 or 3 days or more.
2- After every shampoo you should use a conditioner.
Conditioners improve the overall condition of the hair in terms of shine and strength. It also protects them from time damages, UV rays, and static electricity.
3- Use an adapted shampoo/conditioner to your hair type.
To maintain healthy, beautiful hair, it’s essential to use products that match your specific hair needs. Whether you identify your hair type on your own or with the guidance of a professional stylist, choosing the right hair care products is key. Shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks aren’t one-size-fits-all; they are formulated for different hair types and concerns.
Leading hair care brands have created specialized products for a variety of hair conditions. This isn’t just about marketing—using the appropriate products can make a significant difference in the long-term health and appearance of your hair. As a professional salon, we emphasize the importance of matching your hair type with the right care.
Whether your hair is dry, oily, color-treated, prone to thinning, or damaged, professional brands offer a wide range of products designed to meet your specific needs. By selecting the right products, you can keep your hair looking its best and feeling healthy.
4- Refrain from using heat styling tools
Heat tools such as curling and flat irons, but also hair dryers may damage your hair if used repeatedly or daily. They may cause dryness, itching, and thus damage the hair shaft. (the visible part of the hair just above the scalp).
If you can’t stop using those tools, we then recommend using a thermique. Those heat protection products, often used in professional salons before blow dry and styling, create a protection against the heat and minimize the damages.
Famous brands offer high quality thermique milks, adapted to the different hair conditions (for example Kerastase Nutritive thermique for dry hairs, or Genesis defense thermique for falling hair).
5- Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
We can’t stress this enough: it’s crucial to use oil and moisturizing hair care products like shampoos and masks to nourish your hair and reduce frizz. Incorporating oils such as argan, coconut, or jojoba into your routine provides that extra level of care your hair will appreciate in the long run. These oils offer deep hydration and long-term benefits that help maintain healthy, manageable hair.
6- The scalp is the key.
Healthy hair starts with a happy scalp—it’s that simple! But let’s face it, the scalp often gets overlooked while we focus on our hair. Scalp troubles usually come from using the wrong products, like harsh cleansers on a sensitive scalp or dry shampoo on a dry one. If your scalp feels itchy, flaky, or just off, it’s waving a red flag for attention!
So, why not pamper your scalp a bit? Try a gentle exfoliant or a scalp scrub to keep things fresh. And don’t forget to treat yourself to a relaxing scalp massage at the salon once a month. Your scalp will thank you, and your hair will look fabulous!
7- Apply and concentrate the shampoo on the scalp at first.
If you focus too much on the entire length of the hair, you may cause them to get thinner and untidy. In the long term, flyaway hair condition will make them appear dull looking.

8- "You are what you eat". The importance of a well round diet.
You probably already heard this common phrase. Well, here is one, it also applies to hair. A healthy diet will have a predominance on your hair health and appearance. We recommend including in your diet lots of leafy vegetables packed with Vitamin D and various sources of iron. You may also be generous with healthy fats such as omega-3.
9- Protect from uv and saturate your hair before swimming
Chlorine in pool water can be tough on your hair, so it’s a good idea to wear a cap when you swim. But if caps aren’t your thing, just coat your hair with a leave-in conditioner or some oil before you dive in. It helps protect your hair from the chlorine, keeping it healthy and happy.
Direct exposure to the UV rays from the sun have a huge impact on your hair structure. It affects especially the proteins contained in the hair. The damages may cause dry hair, frizz and split ends. In addition, your hair color may fade faster.
We recommend limiting the direct exposure to the sun and wearing hat as much as possible when you are outside.
10- Try keratin
Keratin treatments are commonly used to give this smoothing look to the hairs and reduce frizz.
However, quality keratin treatments, such as Keratherapy pure renewal, are deeply nourishing and are highly effective for healthy hair. Many ingredients such as proteins and amino acids help to prevent issues in hair condition, protecting from breakage, thinning, and weak hair.
11- Regularly trim your hair
We usually think about hair trim only for appearance. “you will look better with a simple trim!” we often hear. We tend to forget that trimming hair has also considerable benefits for the health of the hair.
It prevents split ends, it allows a better repartition of the oil inside the hair, and therefore protects the whole hair and the scalp condition.
12- Take a monthly tour to your professional salon
The most common causes of unhealthy and falling hair are unsuitable practices, wrong technique to style hair and improper use of hair care products, a regular tour to your hair salon is necessary to have a professional check and recommendation.
Not only can they help with trimming, they will also be good advisers for appropriate hair care. They can see your hair and scalp in a different way than you do. Your favorite stylist can also teach you the best way to style your hair at home.
Also note that the hair products from the salon are usually a much better quality than the regular brands from the supermarket. They come with a higher cost for sure, but in the long term they are a good investment to keep your hair healthy.
So don’t hesitate to take advantage of their expertise.
