A hectic lifestyle, rising work stress, lack of nutrients and growing pollution are now showing their effect not only on health but also on hair and skin. Hair problems are often ignored in the early days, but they worsen with time and the hair begins to look quite thin.
To deal with hair fall, hair breakage, dandruff and increased infection of the scalp, many things are used, including chemical products sold in the market, hair colour and dye. But repeated use of chemical products damages the quality of the hair and makes it look lifeless.
Hair care is as important as skin care, or hair growth can stop, the article says. Instead of always using expensive products, it suggests using hibiscus flowers to make hair strong and thick. It says hibiscus flowers have natural antifungal properties that help in caring for the scalp, which is why they are also suggested for removing dandruff. The article claims a toner made this way will be good for hair growth and will restart growth that has stalled.
The ingredients for the toner are dried hibiscus flowers, water and a spray bottle.
The method is as follows. First, put water to heat in a pan. When the water is hot, add dried hibiscus flowers or their powder and mix well. Then let the water come to a boil once on a low flame. Once the extract of the flowers dissolves in the water, the water will begin to change colour. Set the prepared toner aside to cool. When it is cool, strain it and keep it in a spray bottle. According to the article, the toner will stay good for 8 to 10 days if kept in the fridge.
Before applying it, the article calls a patch test very important, whether for a hair product or a skin product. The patch test will show whether the toner suits the hair. After that, apply the toner from the roots to the tips and massage gently. The article says the massage helps improve blood circulation and makes hair thicker.
The hair should not be washed immediately after applying the toner. It should be left in for at least 1 hour. According to the article, doing this two or three times a week will help reduce hair problems.
