Hair fall: How to use rosemary and hibiscus for healthier-looking hair
1. Rosemary + hibiscus hair oil
Warm some coconut or almond oil on low heat. Add a handful of hibiscus leaves and flowers and let it gently simmer until the oil darkens a bit. Cool it, strain it, and store it. Massage this into your scalp 2–3 times a week. Leave it on for an hour, or overnight if that works for you, then wash as usual.
2. Herbal hair rinse
Boil rosemary sprigs and hibiscus petals in water for about 10–15 minutes. Let it cool and strain it. After shampooing, pour this over your hair as your final rinse. Don’t wash it off with plain water. It leaves your scalp feeling fresh and your hair looking shinier.
3. Hibiscus mask for dry hair
Grind hibiscus leaves and petals into a paste. Mix in a bit of curd or aloe vera gel. Apply it to your scalp and hair, leave it on for 20–30 minutes, then rinse and shampoo. Your hair will feel softer right after.
