Hibiscus for Hair Care
Hibiscus is the perfect Ayurvedic healer when it comes to hair care. The remedies include hibiscus flowers and hibiscus leaves for hair fall, bald patches, hair follicles, itchy scalp, dandruff and premature greying.
Amazing Benefits of Hibiscus
If you’re wondering whether this pretty flower’s powerful herbs are the best fit for your hair care needs, have a look at this list of its benefits we’ve rounded up for you.
- Hair Growth: Hibiscus is made up of naturally occurring amino acids that produce the building block of hair in a protein called keratin – one that increases the volume of your hair. It binds your hair, makes your hair strands thicker and break less.
- Hair Conditioning: When we use conditioners to soften our hair, we risk our hair getting stripped of its natural oils. A high amount of mucilage in hibiscus, with its slimy texture, can retain the natural moisture content in your hair. So, say hello to your natural conditioner in hibiscus!
- Hair Regrowth: Treating bald patches or baldness is generally known to be effective with the help of medical drugs. Stay away from toxic chemicals and harmful side effects by switching to hibiscus instead. moisturise your skin
- Hair Itching: The word we all dislike is here – dandruff. Excessive oil secretion by the glands can have you stuck with an itchy scalp. Hibiscus comes to your rescue as an astringent by reducing this and maintaining the pH balance of hair, all while cooling and soothing the scalp.
- Hair Greying: Melanin is a naturally occurring pigment that gives hair its natural colour. The antioxidants and vitamins in hibiscus help produce melanin, making it an ideal natural dye for your hair.
