After championing female empowerment in e-sports through its Sembur, Play, Slay! campaign in collaboration with Mediabrands Content Studio (MBCS) in January 2024, SAFI Shayla partnered with POUNDwithHanis and the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) this October during Hari Sukan Negara which was themed Cergas Bersama, continuing its mission to empower hijabi women in active sports.

“The ‘Sembur, POUND & Slay!’ event not only reflects SAFI Shayla’s commitment to empower hijabi women who lead an active lifestyle to feel confident and stay fresh in their hijabs. SAFI Shayla’s perfumed hair mist helps them keep their covered hair fragrant and free from musty odours (bau kepam) caused by sweat, especially during dynamic workouts like POUND Fit. We hope that this would lead to the beginning of a vibrant movement where every woman can express herself confidently without limits.” said Yan Ghazaly, creative director at MBCS.

Led by Hanis Nor, an inspiring POUND Fit ICON Master Trainer, the event buzzed with excitement and determination as participants carried on with the hour-long workout.

“POUND Fitness is about expressing strength, connecting with others, and building self-confidence. Watching 1,270 women of all fitness levels power through the rain with full energy and confidence was amazing.” Hanis shared.

“As a hijabi coach myself, I understand the challenges of living an active lifestyle under Malaysia’s hot and humid weather conditions, while wearing a hijab. SAFI Shayla Hijab Hair Parfum Mist helps me to smell good and stay fresh all day, no matter the intensity of the workout.”

Pink Power for PINKtober: SAFI Shayla raising Breast Cancer Awareness
