Kardake (Hibiscus) Hair Rinse to Prevent Hair Fall & Help Strengthen Hair

The hibiscus flower is commonly found in Asia, North Africa, and Latin America, and is a symbolic flower in Haiti, South Korea, and Malaysia.

DIY hibiscus hair rinse recipes for hair fall and stronger hair

The red hibiscus is most commonly used for hair care and is the focus of this article.

The flower can be used in the dried form usually available in grocery stores or in the ground form. Both are equally effective.

It also contains additional properties, which cover up grey hair. However, I prefer mustard seeds and henna for dealing with grey hair. Read about this at:-
