A HERITAGE BLEND
Across Yemen and the Gulf, women have long scented and softened their hair with Mashat: a blend of botanicals, ground together, mixed with water and worn through wash day. FAYNAN Mashat Hair Powder brings that custom into a quiet modern ritual.
Soft, herbal, floral. A ritual that stays with you.
48 hours before, do a strand test and a small skin allergy test behind the ear.
Stir one to two tablespoons with warm water into a soft, spreadable paste.
Smooth through damp hair in sections. Cover and leave up to one hour.
Rinse thoroughly, then wash with a gentle shampoo.
FAYNAN takes its name from a classical Arabic word used to describe beautiful, long hair.

The FAYNAN standard
A traditional hair blend from Yemen and the Gulf. Botanicals such as Sidr, henna, amla and lavender are ground together into a fine powder, mixed with water and applied to the hair.
Mashat contains henna, which may leave a subtle red tint, most visible on light, grey or color-treated hair. Always do a strand test 48 hours before use. It can also be stirred into a Sidr paste for a scented wash step.
Soft, herbal and lightly floral, from the lavender in the blend.

A NOTE FROM THE HOUSE
FAYNAN began with a simple conviction: that the beauty rituals of the Middle East deserve modern formulation, honest language and quiet design. Mashat is one of the region's most personal: scent, carried in the hair.
