Traditional hair care doesn't always have to stay in the past. Some rituals are simply worth keeping.
In Vietnam, soapberry (bồ kết) and pomelo (bưởi) have long been familiar ingredients in traditional hair-care routines. Today, these natural ingredients can still be experienced in a new way - as part of a relaxing wellness ritual that combines Vietnamese traditions with modern spa care.
At Laboho Spa, our Herbal Hair Wash and Hair Spa bring this idea to life through herbal hair washing, scalp massage, and a calming water-dome experience.

For generations, bồ kết has been used in traditional Vietnamese hair washing. The dried soapberry fruit was traditionally prepared and used as a natural cleansing ingredient for the hair.
Bưởi, or pomelo, is another familiar ingredient associated with Vietnamese hair care. Its fresh, distinctive scent and connection to traditional beauty rituals make it a natural addition to a relaxing hair-care experience.
These ingredients are part of a slower approach to self-care - one that turns an everyday hair wash into a small ritual.
Modern hair care offers countless products, treatments, and routines. But there is something special about returning to familiar, simple rituals.
Traditional Vietnamese hair care was not simply about getting clean hair. The process itself could be a moment to slow down and take care of yourself.
That idea fits naturally into today's wellness culture.
A Vietnamese herbal hair wash can be more than a cleansing treatment. With the right setting and techniques, it can become a relaxing experience that allows you to step away from a busy day and enjoy some quiet time.
At Laboho Spa, we combine the familiar ingredients of Vietnamese hair care with the comfort of a modern Hair Spa experience.
Our Herbal Hair Wash incorporates soapberry or pomelo into a relaxing treatment that goes beyond the hair itself.
The experience can include:
The combination keeps the spirit of a traditional Vietnamese hair ritual while creating a more complete wellness experience for today's guests.
What makes a Hair Spa experience different is the time you get to slow down.
Instead of quickly washing your hair and moving on to the next part of your day, you can sit back and enjoy the process. The sound of flowing water, the feel of a scalp massage, and the familiar herbal elements create a calming sensory experience.
For travelers, it can also be a simple way to experience something connected to Vietnamese beauty culture while taking a break from exploring Ho Chi Minh City.
For locals, it can be an easy way to turn a familiar hair-care ritual into a moment of relaxation.
At Laboho, we believe traditional rituals can evolve without losing what makes them special.
Our Herbal Hair Wash brings soapberry and pomelo into a modern spa setting, combining Vietnamese-inspired hair care with scalp massage, relaxing massage techniques, and the soothing water-dome experience.
It is not about recreating the past exactly. It is about taking something familiar and creating a new way to experience it.
Whether you are looking for a relaxing Hair Spa in Ho Chi Minh City or want to discover a small part of Vietnamese self-care, this ritual offers both.
Familiar ingredients. Traditional inspiration. A modern way to relax.
Soapberry and pomelo may be familiar ingredients, but the experience around them can continue to evolve.
At Laboho Spa, traditional Vietnamese hair care becomes a modern wellness ritual — giving you time to cleanse, relax, and slow down.
Some traditions are worth keeping. Sometimes, they just need a new way to be experienced.
