Well, to add my two satangs to this interesting thread, it came as a surprise to me that not all Thai women come by their "typically Thai" sleek, straight, silky hair naturally.

In my small circle of friends, at least two young women seem to go to the salon just about every day to get their naturally somewhat curly or wavy hair washed and ironed to achieve that "look." And I noticed the wash and iron routine was being performed on several young lovelies the last time I got my locks shorn (much too short as usual) at my favourite salon. I asked one of my friends about it, and she said a visit to the salon was part of her morning routine. Mind you, a neighbourhood place that charges only 20 or 30 baht, but still... every day. She has a sales job where appearence is important, but even so.

The thing I wonder about though is the older hi-so ladies with the hair that looks like it was sprayed in place with the plastic stuff we treat our floors with. How can they possibly think this looks attractive? At what age do they trade the youthful loose-hair-around-the-shoulders for this look? :-)
