With the pace at which things happen nowadays, we're sure haircare has become a thing of the past for you. After all, who has the time to go to the salon and get things done to your hair to help keep it in pristine condition, right? Well, just because you don't have the time to go out doesn't mean haircare can't come home to you. All you need is one miracle ingredient to help you out. And the miracle ingredient we're talking about is the Hibiscus flower.

These flowers contain special amino acids which produce a protein called keratin. And we're sure you've at least heard of keratin treatments. Keratin basically helps keep your hair healthy. What's more, this plant is also known to contain properties that can not only moisturise your hair but even help maintain your scalp's pH levels. Here's how you can use the flower on your hair.

With coconut oil: Add 5-6 hibiscus flowers to a pan of hot virgin coconut oil and let this mixture simmer until the flowers are almost black. Drain the oil and then massage it into your scalp for a good ten minutes. Leave it on for an additional 30 minutes and then rinse with cold water.

With amla: Take equal amounts of amla and hibiscus powder and add some water or yoghurt to help make a smooth mixture. Apply it all over your hair and scalp and leave it on for a good 30 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

With aloe vera: In a bowl add a spoonful of hibiscus flower powder and the pulp of one aloe leaf. Mix well and apply the mixture to your hair and scalp evenly. Let it sit for a good 30 minutes before rinsing it off.

Use these ingredients together and you'll have smooth and shiny hair in no time. Stay tuned for more updates.
