Hello! This is SOMI Hair in Johor Bahru.
Have you ever spent ages blow-drying your hair in the morning, only to have it go completely flat the moment you step out into the Johor Bahru humidity? In a tropical climate like Malaysia, with high humidity and intense UV rays, following the same hair routine as in Korea simply won’t work.
Today, we’re sharing our professional secrets for maintaining long-lasting root volume, specifically tailored for the local environment.

1. Why does your hair go flat so fast in Malaysia?
The extreme humidity in Malaysia disrupts the hydrogen bonds in your hair and adds extra weight to each strand, causing it to sag. When your scalp’s natural oils mix with the humid air, the roots lose their strength even faster. The key to fighting this is ‘Moisture Blocking’ and ‘Strong Hold.’
2. Daily Volume Care Routine to Defeat Humidity
① It all starts with the right Shampoo
Avoid heavy, oil-based shampoos. Instead, use a volumizing or clarifying shampoo that effectively cleanses the scalp. If your scalp is greasy, no amount of blow-drying will save your volume.
② The ‘3-Second Cooling’ Rule
When drying your hair, flip your head upside down and dry the roots first. This forces the hair follicles to stand up. Here’s the pro tip: After applying heat to shape your hair, always blast it with cool air for 3 seconds. This “cold shot” is what actually sets and locks the volume in place.
③ Use Products Suited for the Tropics
In high humidity, heavy waxes are your enemy. We recommend lightweight texture powders or water-based hair sprays. Apply them sparingly near the roots (not the ends) to create a barrier against moisture.
3. Professional Solution: SOMI Hair’s ‘Root Perm’
If you’re tired of struggling with a round brush every morning, the most definitive solution is a Professional Root Perm.
At SOMI Hair, we analyze your hair condition and use specialized formulas—like Cysteamine-based products—to minimize damage while creating a bounce that stays lifted even in the most humid weather.
