Kayla Cosmos, an American female tourist, shared about her hair washing experience during a long trip in Vietnam on her personal Instagram page.
Kayla expressed her love for the shampoo staff's excellent massage skills and techniques. "After washing my hair, I felt my hair was much stronger," she shared.
In addition, she was impressed with the friendliness of the shampooers, who were still able to chat happily even though they didn't speak the same language.
However, Kayla also notes that people with curly hair may experience some problems after washing their hair. Accordingly, the hair may become frizzy and tangled, but she shared that there is no need to worry because the salon owner will help customers fix it.
From her experience, Kayla offers some advice for tourists with curly hair who want to experience hair washing services in Vietnam.
Before washing your hair, you can ask the staff to wash it gently if you are worried about hair pulling or falling out. If you don't know Vietnamese, you can use Google Translate to communicate.
If there are special products you need to use on your hair, bring them along. Although Kayla is usually satisfied with the products used at the salon, she shares that bringing her own shampoo and conditioner can be more suitable and familiar to her specific hair types.
Kayla also shared that customers should not be afraid to style their own hair if needed. The female tourist said that she often asks to dry half her hair and dry the rest herself, because popular hair salons in Vietnam often do not have diffusers for curly hair.
"If you have a hairstyle that Vietnamese people are not used to, it is completely normal to take some care of yourself" - Kayla shared.
Although there may be some minor difficulties, according to Kayla, the popular hair washing experience in Vietnam is still an interesting activity and worth trying. This experience is not only relaxing, but also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture in a unique way.
In addition to her hair washing experience, Kayla also shared about her journey to discover Vietnam. She has been to Vietnam four times and decided to stay permanently on her most recent trip.
Commenting on Vietnam, Kayla confided: "In general, Vietnam is a bit crazy, chaotic in a good sense. I like things to happen unexpectedly, very interesting and exciting."
From a simple hair-washing experience to unexpected and exciting moments, Kayla's story shows Vietnam's unique appeal to foreign tourists, not only in famous tourist destinations but also in the most ordinary life experiences.
