Floral Rinses and Pastes for Superb Hair Growth


The hibiscus flower has the amazing ability to prevent shedding, strengthen hair, cleanse the scalp, thicken hair follicles, delay signs of aging in the hair, and promotes hair growth. Fresh hibiscus plants can be found at your local plant nursery, some health stores sell dried hibiscus petals and/or leaves, or in the form of tea. The dried versions may be easier to find on the internet.

Hibiscus Flower Hair Growth Paste 
Ingredients: 

1/4 cup dried hibiscus flower coconut oil 

Directions: 

1) Place the dried hibiscus into a bowl and add as much or as little coconut oil as you need to form a workable paste. 
2) Spread the paste over the scalp and through the hair, allowing for little to no build-up of excess. 
3) Let sit for 10 minutes. 
4) Rinse and wash hair with a mild shampoo. Conditioning should not be necessary. 


Stinging nettles have a bad reputation that is entirely deserved. There is a good chance you are familiar with nettles, but weren't even aware of what they were called. If you have ever walked through brush with bare legs, and encountered a weed that fought back in the form of prickly, itchy thorn-like little needles, you've encountered stinging nettles. 

The richness of vitamins and minerals present in the nettles is what fortifies hair for extra strength, brightens your hair's color, softens hair, stimulates hair growth, ironically cures itchy scalp, and gets rid of dandruff. The drawback to using stinging nettles is that they will sting if touched with a bare hand. The best suggestion given is to use gloves whenever you need to touch fresh nettles. If you are really concerned, it probably wouldn't hurt to double-glove your hands as long as they don't inhibit your mobility.

Stinging Nettle Rinse 

Ingredients: 
Directions: 
  1. Boil water in a medium-sized pot. Add the nettles and continue to boil for 20 minutes. 
  2. Turn off burner, cover the pot with a tightly fitting lid and let the liquid steep for 1 hour or until completely cool. 
  3. Strain out the nettles before using the rinse. 
  4. Pour into a bottle for use. 
  5. Shampoo and condition hair as you normally would. 
  6. As a final rinse, pour the nettle water over your hair and massage gently into scalp. Do not rinse, but leave in the nettle water.  
Stinging Nettle Vinegar Rinse 

Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup fresh nettles 
  • 2 cups apple cider vinegar 
  • 1 cup water 
Directions: 
  1. Bring the vinegar and stinging nettles to a boil in a saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes. 
  2. Allow the vinegar to cool completely. 
  3. Strain out the nettles and pour the vinegar into a storage bottle. 
  4. For the rinse, combine 1/2 cup of the vinegar and the 1 cup of water. 
  5. After shampooing and conditioning hair, pour the rinse over your hair. 
  6. Rinse out with water if the vinegar scent is too strong.

Natural Herbs and Spices For Hair Growth

There is a reason why herbs and spices have been used for centuries for just about anything, but the medicinal properties of herbs and the like are by far their greatest asset. Different herbs have different functions and different strengths. There are wide varieties of herbs that stimulate the growth of black hair.

Are you sick of the challenges that you face with trying to grow your hair long and healthy?  Do you struggle to retain length and seem to be making no progress on your natural hair care journey?  Do you suffer from thin or see through ends? Do you suffer from uneven hair growth?  If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone.  Entire sections in beauty supply stores are devoted to potions, tonics, and miracle cures for black hair, both natural and relaxed.

There is no miracle concoction that can grow hair overnight, but in this app we provide a number of natural hair mixtures that can be made in the comfort of your own home with the u...
