Hibiscus for Hair: A Natural Hero Against Thinning & Weak Strands

🌺 Hibiscus for Hair: A Natural Hero Against Thinning & Weak Strands

If you're searching for a natural ingredient that both strengthens and revitalizes hair, Hibiscus (especially Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is a must-know botanical—even backed by science.

🔬 What the Research Reveals

1.Hibiscus is a natural DHT blocker:

Here's why hibiscus is considered a DHT blocker:

Inhibits 5-alpha-reductase:
Hibiscus contains compounds that can block the activity of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme.
Reduces DHT levels:
By inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, hibiscus can help lower DHT levels in the body.
Combats androgenic alopecia:
High DHT levels are a key factor in androgenic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). Hibiscus's DHT-blocking properties can help mitigate this effect. Read here

2.Stimulates Hair Growth in Live Models
A study tested petroleum ether extracts of H. rosa-sinensis leaves and flowers for hair growth, using both in vivo (live animals) and in vitro (cell-based) methods. The results? Significant stimulation of hair regrowth was observed. Read here

3.Ethanol Extracts Improve Follicle Health
Another study found that a 10% ethanol extract from hibiscus leaves promoted stronger and faster hair growth in the tested subjects—highlighting its potent follicle-nourishing ability Read Here

🌿 Why Hibiscus Works

Rich in Flavonoids & Vitamins: Helps protect the scalp from oxidative stress and stimulates circulation.
Follicle-Nourishing: Compounds in hibiscus support healthier, more resilient hair shafts.
Gentle, Natural Care: No harsh chemicals—just botanical support that’s suitable for daily or weekly use.

✨ Benefits of Hibiscus in Hair Care

Mask boosters: Mix powdered hibiscus into avocado or yogurt hair masks for added strength.

Hair growth oil , reduces hair fall and premature greying

A dry shampoo I can trust

I workout often but I hate chemical dry shampoos and I don’t always have time to wash my hair. This one is easy to use, natural and it’s black! Matches my dark hair. It’s the only dry shampoo on the market with ingredients that won’t harm your hair or scalp.

Powder Scalp Refresher

Amazing hair oil!

I have tried many hair oils before, but this was had the most promise. Hair fall was lessened completely and new growth was noticed very quickly. I had a problem with thinning spot and this has helped so much. The scent is amazing and it goes on very nicely. Such a great find!

The real deal

Been using this shampoo for 3 months now and can honestly say it is so good for getting healthy hair! I stopped using bottled shampoos because they’re 75-85% water and I needed a replacement. This shampoo combined with its conditioner bar has a nice lather and leaves my hair with less breakage and a nice shine.

Hair Growth Oil, reduces split ends

This day 6 hair and no grease!

Hands down the best dry shampoo I’ve used. My hair usually starts getting oily the very next day and I have to use dry shampoos that would leave my scalp very itchy and my hair very coarse. Not until I tried this - so very light does the job and covers bald spots because of the brunette tint. This product is an addition that I keep in my purse always!

THE LATHER!!

Small but mighty!! At first I was very skeptical about this product but a friend suggested this for me because I have extremely oily hair. No matter how much I would scrub my hair the next day there would be oil built up around my scalp. But then I tried this - the lather was amazing and my scalp felt nice and clean. I didn’t even have to shampoo my hair twice like I usually do. Now I can go 2-3 days without washing my hair and it does not feel oily or dry at all. Paired with the conditioner this combination is killer!

REDUCES HAIR LOSS AND SMELLS AMAZING

This is the best oil I have ever used in my life and the smell is sooo soothing. Paired with scalp brush - I’m noticing significantly less hair fall and leaves my hair feeling extremely light weight and shiny … PS I have to hide from my husband because he keeps stealing it from me

HOLY GRAIL OF SCALP BRUSHES

This brush massages my scalp in the most gentle yet satisfying way possible. Pairs extremely well with the Sunshine Spice Elixir Hair and Scalp Oil. Penetrating deep into my scalp and increasing a lot of blood flow. 1000% would recommend quality is great and is extremely durable.

Scalp massager Scalp brush

Scalp is clean and curls are defined!!!

I have been using this shampoo bar for over a month now, and it’s safe to say that my scalp feels clean and my hair feels light. 🤩
Being a curly head, not every product suits my hair but this shampoo bar has clearly helped my curl pattern. 😅

Very happy with Motiya haircare

I've been using the oil, shampoo and conditioner bars for a couple of weeks and have already noticed that my hair are shinier, smoother and less frizzy. My hair become very dry and frizzy in winter and even a blow dry doesnt usually help but I've been using all 3 products consistently and have noticed a visible difference. The scent of the oil is an added bonus and I dont mind having oil in my hair all day if it smells so good.

Using shampoo and conditioner together for the last one month. I will highly recommend this combo after each wash hair becomes more easy to manage less frizzy and very soft. I have also noticed reduced hairfall.

Amazing product

I am using shampoo bar for the last one month and i can see the difference . My hairfall has reduced and my hair are less frizzy now. Initially i was bit reluctant to use as have never used before but trust me ithis mini bar lasts longer than any shampoo bottle produce lots of foam. Highly recommended
