Derived from the mustard seed, the oil contains a vast range of essential nutrients and vitamins. It is an excellent source of vitamins A, D, K and E.

Making the hibiscus flower infused oil is a very simple task and you’ll need just a few basic ingredients. It is natural, inexpensive and great for handling a vast range of hair problems. I recommend this recipe to everyone, regardless of hair type.

The Result

After giving this recipe a try, I became addicted to it! The results were noticeable right from the start. My hair texture changed and my locks became a lot shinier and smoother. I’ve been suffering from fragile hair for a long period of time and this was a great fix.

However, in order to see improvements, you need to apply this oil at least 3x a week. I also combine Castor oil and Almond oil with it to get more benefits at times.

You’ll Need:

• Cold pressed Mustard oil (or you can use coconut oil)
• 2-3 Hibiscus Flowers
• One clean bowl.
• One clean container

• In a clean bowl, pour cold pressed mustard oil (you can add more oil if you want and just simply add extra flowers to increase the potency of the oil). But I normally create a small batch that I can used within 1 or 2 weeks since we are not adding any preservatives, besides I like to use it fresh.



• Once the oil is ready, you can now place the hibiscus flowers and submerge them into the oil making sure they are all completely immersing deeply in the oil. Leave it for 24 hours or at least overnight.
• After 24 hours, you can see how the color of the oil has changed and the flower petals have become transparent.
• Crush the flowers as much as you can.
• Then sieve it and pour it in a clean bottle container. You can also leave the crushed particles if you like.

How To Use:

Gently massage the infused oil on your scalp for 3-4 minutes (it’s best to do this routine at night) and let it sit overnight. Then, you can wrap your hair with a plastic bag or shower cap to trap the goodness from the oil.

Once you are ready to hit the sack, line your pillow with an old towel to avoid staining it. The next morning, you can wash off your hair using your regular shampoo (you can shampoo your hair twice if you feel your hair is a bit greasy).
