I know its good for softening and conditioning. I use the whole dried flower and grind it myself.

Hibiscus petals, also known as jaswand, were used in Ayurvedic medicine to stimulate thicker hair growth and to prevent premature graying, hair loss and scalp disorders. The petals act as a natural, emollient hair conditioner. Hibiscus petal powder can be used in Ayurvedic hair washes, oil infusion treatments and vinegar rinses for the hair. Use hibiscus petal powder in combination with brahmi and amla powders. - From FNWL

Bumping! Is anyone using this? I wanted to try mixing it with henna.

I use it. I mix it with my Ayurveda tea rinse. My hair comes out really soft and conditioned. It smells great also. It also stains the hair a reddish/wine color so you may want to watch out for that. I personally don't mind the color.

I just used a very small amount of this on my hair today, for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised at how soft it made my hair. It is definitely something I will use regularly.
An Indian friend told me that it aids it hair growth, but that was not the description on the website.

I have some .... I might have to pull it out.

Hibiscus is the truth. I love it and use it weekly in my tea rinse.

I know this is an old thread but i just wanted to know something are there two different type of hibiscus powders/dried herbs people are using.

Because isn't hibiscus (sorrel) different from hibiscus flower (jaswand, hibiscus petal powder)?
Or am i just confusing myself? Can someone clarify this for me and which one is it that everyone is using that offers the moisturising benefits

Is this "sorrel" that we have in the Caribbean?

Not a natural, but i use hibiscus powder, and I believe that it performs similarly for most hair types. Hibiscus (also known as Jaswand) is a moisturizing/mildly cleansing powder made from the petals of hibiscus flowers. It contains light mucilage which serves to moisturize the hair. It is known to promote hair thickness and growth as well as the darkness and luster of hair. It can be combined with other ayurvedic herbs like Brahmi and Amla to enhance certain attributes it gives the hair. As for natural hair specifically, moisturized hair will most likely lead to more manageability and perhaps even more defined curls. Hope this helps .

It is the same.

I've got some in the cupboard-but haven't experimented with it yet. I'm not ready for blood red hair. My poor grays couldn't stand it. Maybe I'll mix it with some Kalpi-Tone..

It is the same.

oh okay because the sorrel (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and hibiscus petal (rosa sinensis) look different even though they are from the same family. And all the ayurvedic recipies i've seen call for rosa sinensis, and that's what fnwl sell.

That's why i've been wondering if there's any difference and whether the mucilage/moisturising benefits come from the hibiscus petal rather than the sorrel version.
