Bali isn’t just about stunning beaches and delicious food; it can also be challenging on your hair! After a day of sun, sand, and surf, your tresses might be craving some TLC. Here’s a peek at the top 10 hair treatments in Bali to get your mane back to its glorious state:

Local salons all offer cream baths, but some are better than others, so go with personal recommendations or visit the above two where you’ll find superior products under the supervision of professional hairdressers.
