Q: Can Hibiscus Powder be added to henna?
A: Yes, it is commonly added to henna blends to help boost red tones.

Q: Why does hibiscus colour change in formulas?
A: Hibiscus is pH-sensitive. Acidic mixtures can deepen the red tone, while alkaline mixtures can shift it towards purple, blue or green.

Q: Can Hibiscus Powder stain light hair?
A: Yes, it can stain lighter hair, so strand testing is important.

Q: Is hibiscus powder always very fine?
A: No. Some botanicals cannot be milled to an ultra-fine grade, and hibiscus can naturally have a slightly coarser texture.
