Hibiscus is a wonder plant that works amazingly in making hair super soft and manageable. It is one of the major ingredients in Shikakai paste. I used to grind Hibiscus leaves and flowers, and apply it on my hair. Every single time I used this paste I was left with super soft bouncy hair. The process is a bit tedious and the paste gooey and sticky. When I came across Banjaras Hibiscus Wet & Wash at a local store I was super excited to try it out and hoped I would see similar results.
The product claims to “Banjaras Hibiscus paste is used to prevent hair fall, thickening of hair, and baldness treatment. Hibiscus paste is most effective and has been found in clinical trials that it not only stimulates glands bit also increases the growth of hair. Regular use of hibiscus paste keeps hair soft and manageable along with hair growth. It has property of imparting dark colour to hair. It is also useful in recurrent dandruff and scalp irritation. Hibiscus paste increases blood circulation, promotes hair growth and softens and conditions hair.
Directions for use: Apply the paste in suitable consistency on the scalp. Allow the paste to remain on scalp for one hour. Rinse thoroughly with water.”
My Experience with Banjaras Hibiscus Wet & Wash
Banjaras Hibiscus Wet & Wash is a maroonish brown thick paste that comes in a squeeze packaging. The paste has the mild refreshing fragrance of hibiscus. Even if you aren’t a fan of the fragrance fret not as it is mild and doesn’t linger. The paste is quite thick and I prefer mixing this with either water or curd before applying it on my hair. I apply the paste liberally on both my hair and scalp and leave it for about an hour. The paste needs to be washes thoroughly with water and can take a little long to be removed. The final result is quite impressive though nowhere close to the effect I get when using ground up hibiscus leaves. My hair feels soft and manageable.
The product claims to have effect on hair growth and itchy scalp, but it rather failed here. I didn’t see any noticeable hair growth or reduction in hair fall after using Banjaras Hibiscus Wet & Wash; neither did it help with the mild dandruff itchiness. The product is affordably priced but availability is an issue. Despite being on the lazy side I still prefer using fresh ground hibiscus leaves, as the effect is way better and is all natural.
The Good
- Has the refreshing fragrance of hibiscus
- Makes hair soft & manageable
The Bad
- Not as easily available
- Difficult to spread paste evenly
- Does not help much with dandruff
- No visible reduction in hair fall

Hope you manage to get it in a local store.
I personally don’t believe in anti-hairfall products plus haven’t found any that works. However, this seems just good for giving the hair some TLC. Great review!
Chaste & Beautiful
Definitely. Neither have I come across any miracle hair product especially masks that reduce hair fall. BUt this does make hair soft and manageable and I like that.
I have dandruff problem on my oily scalp every winter. Nothing worked better than egg, honey and lemon mixture. This reduced my hair fall, made hair smooth, silky and manageable. Try it. Sure hibiscus powder is better than any mask.
Will try out the mixture. Could you let me know the proportions you use the ingredients in?
Herd of this brand for the first time. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

I’m looking forward to trying more products from this brand.
I was looking for a great anti dandruff product. Thanks for your review. I will skip this.

You can try TBS Ginger Shampoo. It really works wonders on dandruff. Just be sure you never ever skip conditioner while using this shampoo.
Even I would have preferred using the natural and fresh way! 🙂
That’s always the best way 🙂
Oh no! I thought it would be a good product to stop my hair fall issue 🙁 I’m not going to try this then… disappointed!!

It doesn’t do much to hair fall. But it definitely makes hair soft.
Ohhh it seems like an average product. Will give it a pass!!!
Megha recently posted…Sattvik Organics Mint Magic Antiseptic Cleanser Review
It’s quite decent Megha. It does make hair soft and manageable. But if you have used crushed Hibiscus leaves you’ll know how super soft your hair will look at the end of it.
My hairs are so unmanageable off lately and I so wish to try this. But, I am not sure if it available here. Anyways, I will try out the other way by grinding hibiscus flower and leaves. Do I need to add anything else in it?

You can add curd to make it easier to apply. I normally apply the gooey paste as it is. Be prepared as your bathroom will end up rather messy, but the results are amazing.
It’s nice it at least makes your hair soft and manageable!

I’m happy with the way my hair feels. But compared to using the crushed leaves this is nothing.
Love the sound of this hair wash! I need to figure out how to get my hands on this brand. I’ve never heard about this brand before…
You can spot this in most Health & Glows. They are also available online. But availability is a bit of issue sometimes.
I am currently trying their hair mask & I am totally loving it Sangeeta, Will be coming up with a detailed review soon.

Same here. But it does make the hair soft and manageable.
nicely reviewed! I am always on hunt for hair products that can keep my hair manageable… From where do you manage to get hibiscus leaves? That would be great help. TIA 🙂
I picked it up from Health & Glow. But it is a difficult spotting this brand.
Too bad it doesn’t really help with hair loss.

But I love how soft it makes my hair.
I have seen this in some store but forgot where. Natural remedies are unbeatable but I think this is better than many products available. Great review.
I might give it a try 🙂

I like how soft it makes my hair.
I’ve used Banjaras Amla, Brahmi, Methi powders as hair packs and they’ve done wonders to my hair. Was looking for a hibiscus pack and glad you reviewed it 🙂 Is it available in powdered form?
Ah that’s nice. I have seen powdered Hibiscus from Banjaras in stores.
I’m always looking to make my hair more bouncy! Great review.

Thanks Yasmin. This is a nice product to try out.
Banjara products are gaining popularity these days. Great review, sad that it fails at controlling hair fall.

Thanks Vishaka. They sure are. I’m looking forward to trying out more of their products.
This sounds amazing! I need to find this especially since I have really fine hair. Thanks for the tip!
Glad the review was helpful Melinda.
Pls tell me how effective it is with frizz control?

If you have extremely frizzy hair you won’t find this as effective. But if you have moderate or climate related frizziness this hair mask will help to a certain level.
I have tried the other variant Amla Wet n Wash. Same experience… Not as effective as homemade packs. But I find this useful when I don’t have time to make them. Btw, am not able to subscribe to your blog. I don’t get the confirmation mail after giving my email id…
Thanks for bringing it to our notice Archana, we will check into immediately. In the meantime you can subscribe to BeautyNyx here https://subscribe.wordpress.com/
Average product skiping it.
