Precaution: Blondes Should Avoid Hibiscus Tea

Hibiscus tea is not a regular hair dye, but if your hair is light and the rinse is too strong - it can leave a red color. So, if that's not the intention, blondes should avoid applying the liquid to their hair and look for other homemade methods that help hair grow. In case the staining happens, don't panic - after a couple of washes, the hibiscus stain will go away.
