The woman having her hair done is also wearing a thanaka beauty mask.
Thanaka is a paste made from tree bark. It is used as sunscreen in many countries, and best known in Southeast asia, especially Myanmar. However, the wood of several trees may be used to produce thanaka cream. The thanaka we saw in Madagascar was always yellow-orange coloured instead of the pale yellow-white in Myanmar.
