If you’ve ever admired those soft, bouncy waves that seem to fall perfectly on so many K-drama stars, my service in Chiang Mai might just be what you’re looking for. Living here, humidity can make managing hair a challenge, but my modern techniques are designed to create airy waves and movement that look beautiful even on stubbornly straight hair. At Praewa’s, I love helping both locals and expats who want lasting style with minimal fuss.
At Praewa’s, every client receives a personalized consultation to ensure you’re matched with the best perm method. Each style has its own charm and is tailored for different hair types and lifestyles. As a hairdresser, it’s important to help you choose the best option, not just for how it looks, but for how it fits into your daily life. My approach is to treat every strand with care, using premium products and up-to-date techniques. I take pride in those little details that make waves truly special and lasting.
Now that your perm has transformed your hair with those gorgeous waves, proper aftercare is what keeps them vibrant and healthy for months. I always tell my clients at Praewa’s that the right applications and gentle routines are the real secret to long-lasting, beautiful results. The right aftercare is just as important as the wave creation itself. Thailand’s climate can be tricky, so here’s how to keep your curls soft, healthy, and full of life day after day.
The first 48 hours are crucial, avoid washing, tying, or even tucking your hair behind your ear so the new shape sets perfectly. After that, gentle is the keyword. Always use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner designed for permed hair, as these help retain moisture and prevent your waves from going dry or frizzy. Regular deep conditioning adds the nourishment your hair craves, keeping locks bouncy and strong. A wide-tooth comb is your new best friend, detangle only when hair is damp to avoid breakage, and steer clear of harsh brushes. Air-drying is ideal, but if you must use a blow dryer, attach a diffuser to maintain the wave pattern. For those living in Chiang Mai, humidity can actually help waves stay defined, but too much sun or pool chlorine can dry them out, use a light leave-in treatment and protective sprays. Book a follow-up visit for hair styling, if you notice your locks losing shape; a professional treatment can revive their bounce.
If you’re longing for a fresh look or craving lively waves that suit Thailand’s unique weather, booking a hair perm at Praewa’s is the perfect step. Curl creations here go beyond a simple transformation, they offer attention to detail, a confidence boost and everyday ease.
Prepping for your modern wave is simple but important. Come with clean, product-free hair and be ready to share a bit about your hair routine, wishes, and any past color or chemical applications. The process itself is friendly and relaxed, expect a warm welcome, refreshment, and gentle attention as I select the rod size and formula that best fit your texture and style ambitions. My priority as a hairdresser is not just a lovely finish, but making sure locals, tourists, and expats alike feel comfortable and heard from the minute they enter my hair studio.
