Leave it for about twenty minutes and wash it out the same sitting. It is a conditioning mask. It does not regrow hair. The red flower can tint very light hair and can stain cloth.

Patch test if you have not used hibiscus on skin. Keep it out of the eyes. Do not use flowers that are sprayed, wilted into slime, or from a roadside that gets exhaust. Skip a broken scalp. Sudden patchy hair loss needs a doctor, not a thicker paste.
