By Samantha Goodwin

Hibiscus is one of the most beneficial ingredients for hair care. Hibiscus helps in hair growth, reduces hair loss and encourages hair regrowth. You have to face certain hair problems at least once in your lifetime and there comes a time when you start losing your hair to a great extent and what are you searching for? Maybe a good doctor or a better shampoo.

Shampoo is not good for your hair; it uses artificial treatments which makes your hair look volumised, fluffy and silky but not for a longer period of time. Shampoo is stuffed and packed together with many chemicals which start reacting after a particular period of time. So get rid of your hair problems by using hibiscus.

Hibiscus is rich in amino acids, vitamin A, vitamin C and alpha hydroxyl acids along with other nutrients which are extremely beneficial for your hair. You can take a few hibiscus flowers together, remove the stalks from the centre and blend them in the grinder.
