Nice at home mask. I used to grind hibiscus leaves and use on my hair. Sadly the plant got infection and died. They are easily prone to infection, mostly by ants building nests. 🙁

Hey hi Shalini 😉 first of all,I love your name (I myself think to change my change 2 Shalini) :p I have recently been intrigued by the benefits of hibiscus 4 one’s hair so am gung-ho about trying out this pack! However,since am quite used to pampering my hair with a homemade hair pack made up of “aloe vera+ hibiscus+brahmi+bhringraj”, so I want 2 ask whether I can use this pack as a CONDITIONER(after I wash off my aloe pack)?(actually I want to give up shampoo and conditioner so was wondering about it) tc keep up the good work 🙂

I jve recently been enamoured by the “NO POO MOVEMENT” so am quite eager to try it out for a minimum of 3 months 2 able 2c noticeable results. And since I religiously use a natural homemade hair pack of “ALOE VERA+ HIBISCUS+BRAHMI POWDER+ METHI POWDER” as shampoo so can I substitute the hair pack u have mentioned above as a CONDITIONER? Thanks 4 paying heed 2 my query 🙂 keep writing! 😉 🙂
