None other than this beautiful Hibiscus!

There are in various colors and I wish I could paste it all here but, it’s better if you could watch this Hibiscus short video instead.

When I was a small kid, my mom used to pick a bunch of Hibiscus leaves, then tore the leaves into small pieces. She would soak them in a bowl of water for 10 minutes or so and the leaves will exudes some gooey extracts. I was told to rub it all over my hair so it will be healthier , shinier and the color will be darker. If only my mom knew that I prefer my hair in amber, I guess she will freak out! Haha..

Do you know that Malaysia and South Korea has the same Hibiscus family as national flower?Malaysian’s is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis while South Korean’s is  Hibiscus syriacus.
