Wow, I live in the US how can I get the flowers/leaves or at least how can I use okra as a shampoo ? This method will save so much money. I like how you did not have any tangles in your hair.
OMG!!! THIS makes SO much sense! Melanin is literally human chlorophyll, no WONDER why our scalps would love chlorophyll! Thank you for reminding us of our indigenous roots! 🖤🖤✨✨
Yes. In Haiti, people with dark hair use it to enchance their color too. Okra is also a cleaner and fun fact, okra is the fruit of a variety of hibiscus. So they provide same benefits
I'm from St Lucia and I never knew this. Asked my mom and she was like yes, this is what they used to wash their hair back then. 5 minutes later, we took a walk through the neighborhood to pick some Hibiscus leaves and flowers. It's midday and the sun is blazing hot but my hair will thank me later😭😭😭
Hi Mimi, nice to see a fellow St. Lucian here. I do remember my mom using this to wash my hair when I was a little girl but we quickly transitioned to the store bought shampoo. It's Funny that I'm seeing this video because just this morning I asked my mom where can I find hibiscus, because I would like to try it in my hair again. After being out of the country for a very long time I'm back home and slowly transitioning back to everything natural. If you don't mind, please let me know how your wash with the hibiscus came out. Thanks and be Blessed
Ain't nobody goin' buy those chemicals. It'll be too expensive for the quality. If you have a plant available outside, u won't spend $0. They couldn't beat that 5 finger discount if they tried.
Hi. Thanks for your input but can I please ask a question (1)So do you leave it in for a few minutes and wash out or you wash out as soon as you apply. (2) if you have very soiled hair from lots of oils& dirt.. can this shampoo wash it all out in 1st application or you do it twice.
Imagine walking by these plants everyday for 2 months in Jamaica and admiring the beautiful flowers yet not realizing the leaves were magical. Ugh!🤦🏾♀️
I am from Kerala. We call it taali, ( taali can be any combination of good things that form a slimy liquid which is used as natural shampoo like shikakai, reetha etc, but Kerala we use hibiscus leaves and flowers.). We just mash, break, grind handful of leaves and flowers by hand to get to a slimy fluid and wash hair. It leaves your hair silky and scalp clean. My mom rarely allowed to use chemical based shampoo and this was part of weekend ritual when I was young. 😇😊
@@archanaputhran3821 yes.. usually oil prepared at home. Coconut oil with herbs like hibiscus flowers, curry leaves, peppercorns, bringraj, amla, etc. Added ingredients or lesser based on availability of herbs and specific needs.
Any sickness on this planet has a remedy from Mother Earth. The perfect balance. Our ancestors of the African diaspora knew this, they never needed Western help🙏🏾
I have to thank you very much. I put mine in the food processor but the way my hair and scalp felt after using it was wonderful. I never had my hair and scalp this clean. I even felt the breeze on my scalp.
This is great. Some commenters are asking if this can be used as a leave-in, others are saying you should use it as a shampoo. Just make enough for one use. If you try to save it, it will start to smell like poop. So if you leave it in your hair...idk... Don't be the first to find out.
My Great grandmother is Lucian & when I was younger she would wash my hair with this 🥰 she would take me on walks to pick different flowers & aloe to make natural remedies for my hair. My hair currently is thick & mid back length. My great grandmother still oils my scalp & braids is up. ❤️
That is so awesome u still have ur gg in ur life. Wow wut a blessing. Plz continue to adore and appreciate her....btw i wonder wud this wrk on ppl like me that are slow grow and pre/post menopausal....
That's because the first thing we Trinis think about is cutting our hair in a style, or braiding it, or something quick. But this is a good one to try to see if I could grow back my hair.
In Jamaica we used Aloe vera of course as shampoo but I have never heard of using the Hibiscus which literally grew next to the Aloe in our yard. Thanks for letting me know! 😊
I had this tree in my yard growing up, dang but I have a big Mornings tree and I plan to use it, you have given me an idea, thanks for the tip, I'm from Jamaica 😳😱🥰💞🇯🇲
The thing is this worked when we didn't used to put buckets of products in our hair. Now we have a 12 step program lol. To anyone using this please take into consideration your products. This works well for rastas and naturalistas not putting a ton of shit on their hair.
@@cherryhennessy That makes sense. Hibiscus is very scarce these days. But before when I was little I saw my grandmother use it on her skin and we would drink the red one as a tea
great advice. I just whipped up a new batch of rice water TODAY and just saw this video! AND I have 2 Hibiscus trees! Adding leaves TOMORROW! Awesome advice!

That something is very well known in Guadeloupe. I do it also and been sharing this practice to diy friends.

No need for a blender if you don't have one it works just the same if you smash the leaf but obviously you'll need more leaf. Since i can't have acess to hibiscus leaf all year, i as only visit my family in Guadeloupe. I dry the leaf and use them in powder form in my dyi regimen. You can also do it with cactus but it will require a bit more work. 🌵 If you speak to elderly people you'll know more about people use to wach their hair in the old time. Ashes from the bbq is a intense cleanser for instance... People where going to the river to wash their hair and still do in some part of the island. Love my land, love my culture.
Great culture. I have family who lives in Guadeloupe. Love visiting there every chance I get. A lot of people from these Caribbean islands practice the same things. Truly, we're one people.
Update: (Sorry I couldnt reply to everyone)So I made some hibiscus water (plant didn't have enough leaves for me to pilfer) and I made a treatment which my sister used and loved, her relaxed/keratined hair lays MUCH flatter than it normally is. I however took a slightly different approach. Getting an old salsa jar, I mixed a lot of the hibiscus treatment with a regular conditioner and placed it in my hair as a mask and my curls are much more defined and soft today. I watered down the treatment and lightly sprayed it on my hair before i put my usual products. Tonight i will repeat the treatment and give my hair a trim. Much love ladies and gents and to soleil
Forget the shampoo I was too busy looking at ur beautiful ❤️ skin. However,. this is interesting. I was born in the Caribbean but we never thought to do this!!! And we were surrounded by them😄😁😲
Yasss to the hibiscus with all its amazing properties and some of ourCaribbean well kept secrets. Also growing up, when we went to the river the guys, starting off their locs, would take the cacao fruit (minus the seeds) and rub it on a stone until it form a liquid or something of the sort and wash their hair with it. I never attempted it but their hair always seemed pretty curly and shiny after.
Sounds like y’all had a nice ass life. We don’t have these delicacies in the U.S. Everything is mostly fillers that does nothing for your health but make it worse.
@@baconandeggs9113 😂 😂 😂 you are cracking me up at the “nice ass life part.” For us it was easily found everywhere. Well the cacao fruit, you probably have to go through some serious bush to find it. 😝 It’s a shame that everything contains fillers in the US.
Now we all know that is why we all have to keep in touch. As a Jamaican the one that shock me is the OKRA. AS DECENDANTS OF CAPTURED PEOPLE AND INDENTURED WORKERS THEY WOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN US SOAP SO WE HAD TO FIND SOLUTIONS. OUT OF MANY PEOPLE ONE NATION UNDER GOD. AFRICAN BELONGS TO US AND THE CARIBBEAN BELONGS TO YOU GOD BLESS US ALL.
@@jackie9068 my grandma is Nigerian and made her own soap of coconut oil, cocoabutter and shea butter. I had beautiful skin and long hair as a child until I began to use store bought soaps and lotions. Have to return to our roots!
I did this last week but i only soak the hibiscus leaves i didn't blend them. thank you for the rest of the information. I live in a cold climate we can get this plant from a nursery or local home depot. xoxo
I discovered this today and made my own hibiscus hair mask. I was surprised to learn about this and felt bad about not knowing it before..since I have always had a hibiscus plant at home (India) 😭.. made my hair shiny and well managed in just one application!
Bless you! I'm glad that you are covered up while making your videos - a modest woman. May Yah bless you for relying on Nature for your crown of life. 🙌
Yes I know of this in my country we used it too and the ochra leaves to wash our hair my brother had dreads and he used it or ochra leaves to wash his hair and it grows your hair too and shiny. We used our hands to rub the leaves together.
Great 😍😍we keralites (a state in India) even make oil with the red hibiscus flowers. There are many RUclips vedios showing how to make hibiscus flower hair oil too.☺️☺️
Wow I got the plant in my garden (Tanzania) I’ve a cactus and Aloe Vera plants in my garden thank you for this!!! It’s massive information for my hair regimen!!
Girl I can relate. Everywhere I look i see it and didnt have a clue. Man I am going on a picking. Jamaica is blessed and dont even know it. Everything is a handpick away or a bush in a neighbor's yard. Lol
There are a few questions that I would like to ask you based on your claim. One how long have you been making and using this product? How long does it take to see results? How often should we use this treatment to get the best results? Why is the product so runny and what is your solution to make it less runny?
You have a gorgeous hair. I used to have voluminous hair when I was young.. Used to apply hibiscus leaves juice... And the rice water. But after getting into medicine no time to sleep or eat right...
I watch a lot of DIY channels for natural hair care but I have to say you have the most unique recipes :)! From cactus and watermelon detanglers to hibiscus shampoo, love it!! Keep up the good work sis
I'm from Panama, and when I had my hair relaxed and it was falling a fragile my grandma tough me how to use hibiscus, and yes I always Rubbed it with my hands
I remember doing this as a child in Jamaica for playing sake, but I remember how the mixture felt and the slip and often wondered if I can use it in my hair of recent... Thanks for the confirmation ❤️

Sounds like y’all had a nice ass life. We don’t have these delicacies in the U.S. Everything is mostly fillers that does nothing for your health but make it worse.
@@baconandeggs9113 😂 😂 😂 you are cracking me up at the “nice ass life part.” For us it was easily found everywhere. Well the cacao fruit, you probably have to go through some serious bush to find it. 😝 It’s a shame that everything contains fillers in the US.
@@jaslyfe yeah. Im really thinking about moving since this corona thing and the politics.
@@jaslyfe thats what we do. Sell things that are bad for you.
Thank you for the simplistic recipe!!! I'm tired of 10 ingredients growth serums lol
free sample of hibiscus-like leaves simply Amazing
wow. REALLY??? never knew this. grew up in Nigeria with hibiscus plants everywhere and we didn't know this.
Now we all know that is why we all have to keep in touch. As a Jamaican the one that shock me is the OKRA.
AS DECENDANTS OF CAPTURED PEOPLE AND INDENTURED WORKERS THEY WOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN US SOAP SO WE HAD TO FIND SOLUTIONS. OUT OF MANY PEOPLE ONE NATION UNDER GOD. AFRICAN BELONGS TO US AND THE CARIBBEAN BELONGS TO YOU
GOD BLESS US ALL.
Please do the video on Okra shampoo and hair conditioner
I used to have thick long hair growing up in Haiti when I was using this.
@@jackie9068 my grandma is Nigerian and made her own soap of coconut oil, cocoabutter and shea butter. I had beautiful skin and long hair as a child until I began to use store bought soaps and lotions. Have to return to our roots!
I did this last week but i only soak the hibiscus leaves i didn't blend them. thank you for the rest of the information. I live in a cold climate we can get this plant from a nursery or local home depot. xoxo
You’re lyingggg. Wowwwwwww. Amazing!
It's one of my favorite natural shampoos to use on my hair !
This plant is amazing ! 🤗💕
@@UnivHairSoleil3 Trying this weekend! Thanks boo!
@@SheReaDelSol You're welcome sis ! 💕💕💕
Where do I get Hibiscus leaves from in usa?
@@SheReaDelSol that's what we used in St Lucia. I thought all Caribbean people knew and used that. It makes the hair very clean.
I discovered this today and made my own hibiscus hair mask. I was surprised to learn about this and felt bad about not knowing it before..since I have always had a hibiscus plant at home (India) 😭.. made my hair shiny and well managed in just one application!
Yeesss Haitian girls secret too 😍😍❤❤
How did I never know about this???
@@misshdd6972 now you know girl
Go and try it you wont regret it 😉👍
Yes girl my grandma used to do that too in 🇭🇹
@@bufalo9900 I wish I could but I live in Canada.... It's -12c outside. Would dried imported leaves work?
i don't know, I have never tried dry leaves.
We did this in Dominica when I was younger and we always had nice hair. I think I need to go back to this.
What? I'm from Jamaica and my yard is full of these so you know who's going to try this out asap 🤭🤭🤭🤭 Thanks for sharing
Bless you! I'm glad that you are covered up while making your videos - a modest woman. May Yah bless you for relying on Nature for your crown of life. 🙌
Amazing.. I remember eating this when I was a kid,,in Zambia these leaves are actually pounded to make okra
Yeah right our hair would be but length if we were putting it to good use😂😂😂
Amazing.
Amazing let us all save our money and get back to basic chemistry and 4c hair will grow naturally
@@jackie9068 True, but our hair grows it's just prone to breakage
Yes I know of this in my country we used it too and the ochra leaves to wash our hair my brother had dreads and he used it or ochra leaves to wash his hair and it grows your hair too and shiny. We used our hands to rub the leaves together.
Great 😍😍we keralites (a state in India) even make oil with the red hibiscus flowers. There are many RUclips vedios showing how to make hibiscus flower hair oil too.☺️☺️
My mom use to wash my hair with hibiscus leaves when i was a little girl in st 🇱🇨. Brings back memories.
I really enjoyed learning about hibiscus shampoo.
I born Trinidadian and live here all my life and never knew about this..... thanks much for the info...... amazing
I only remember mashing up the centre of the flower and getting a sticky gooey thing to play with
Yeah. I do use hibiscus leaves in my DIY hair oil and hair mask. But it doesn't suit every scalp. It could cause dandruff.
Wow omg, fist time I've ever heard of or seen this!!!
This is so easy. In the summer I'm going to try it. Thank you.
We Indians have already been using it from long long time.
I'm serious about my hair journey to the point of actually searching for hibiscus leaves on Amazon 😂 😂 🤦🏾♀️
😭😭😭 u aren’t the only one
Same here! It’s a frozen tundra here in Delaware. No Caribbean leaves near me. All frozen 😄
@@302Notary-fingerprintboss Ditto midwest! 😄😱
Lmfaooo girl if this ain't me I don't know why
All they have is dried I think
This is plain genius. Between this and your onion oil DIY, I'm all set. I so appreciate this tutorial and thank you!
Wow I got the plant in my garden (Tanzania) I’ve a cactus and Aloe Vera plants in my garden thank you for this!!! It’s massive information for my hair regimen!!
Karibu ! It's my pleasure !

@@kallieshaharvey1195 🤣🤣🤣 don't wrong yuh a baxxcide

Girl I can relate. Everywhere I look i see it and didnt have a clue. Man I am going on a picking. Jamaica is blessed and dont even know it. Everything is a handpick away or a bush in a neighbor's yard. Lol
Awesome we use the same in India too
Keep a small one in house and put outside in the summer. We are growing everything here even banana trees.
I. From Nigeria. Hibiscus is a decorative plant in lot of houses. Never knew it's good for hair. I'll be trying this out soon.

😍😍😍
That’s the MELINATED MAGIC. I’m here for it. Hats off to you Queen 👑
There are a few questions that I would like to ask you based on your claim. One how long have you been making and using this product? How long does it take to see results? How often should we use this treatment to get the best results? Why is the product so runny and what is your solution to make it less runny?
You have a gorgeous hair. I used to have voluminous hair when I was young.. Used to apply hibiscus leaves juice... And the rice water. But after getting into medicine no time to sleep or eat right...
I watch a lot of DIY channels for natural hair care but I have to say you have the most unique recipes :)! From cactus and watermelon detanglers to hibiscus shampoo, love it!! Keep up the good work sis
As a child my sister and i juiced the hibiscus leaves and used it to cook ackee dolly pot lol. But i will definitely try it as a natural shampoo
I'm from Panama, and when I had my hair relaxed and it was falling a fragile my grandma tough me how to use hibiscus, and yes I always Rubbed it with my hands
Oooh, I'd love to visit Panama
And then what did you do after rubbing it with your hands?
I remember doing this as a child in Jamaica for playing sake, but I remember how the mixture felt and the slip and often wondered if I can use it in my hair of recent... Thanks for the confirmation ❤️
Oh Wow!!!! I can't wait until I get that length 😩Thank you for this content!!!!💕💯
You're welcome ! Thank you ! 💕💕💕
Don't focus on the length yet. Focus on the natural products for healthy hair. I used to be eager to get length and it didn't work well 🙈😀
@@Browny241422 Thank youuuu
