I just read its description and interestingly find that Getting a perm is a piece of “INDUSTRY” of Thai women. Why did they think to use the word “industry” for this? But as far as I know, perm was very popular among the upper-class or rich people at that time.

That’s interesting assumption. I agree, just check that not only this getting hair perm but also many Western cultural values spread at the same time.

Also, it’s the one on the purpose to make the country civilized and modernized. I think this is very interesting topic to look more deeply.
