Discover Sidr



ONE BOTANICAL
Long before shampoo, Sidr leaves were dried, ground and mixed with water to wash the hair, a custom that still lives in homes across the Middle East. FAYNAN Pure Sidr Leaf Powder keeps that wash simple: one botanical, finely ground, with nothing added.
Mix. Apply. Rest. Rinse.
Stir two to three tablespoons of powder with warm water into a smooth, creamy paste. Rest it for a few minutes.
Work the paste through damp hair and onto the scalp, section by section.
Leave for 15–30 minutes. Keep it away from the eyes.
Rinse thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Condition as usual.
FAYNAN takes its name from a classical Arabic word used to describe beautiful, long hair.
