[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/made_by_ren/herbal-haircare/gallery) I do not believe in trends. I believe in ingredients that actually work. Here is the science behind the plants and oils I choose for my formulations. ## Photos and videos - ![Hibiscus, often called the 'botox plant', is a natural miracle for hair. It's rich in amino acids and vitamins that strengthen follicles, promote growth, and even help cover greys.

Every extract, from Hibiscus to Sal Butter, is chosen because it solves a specific problem. For instance, I use Hibiscus not just because it is traditional, but because its amino acids provide real strength to thinning hair that chemical alternatives often miss. Nature has its own logic, and sometimes the simplest ingredients are the most effective. When I formulate my hair oils and cleansers, I look for ingredients that respect the hair's natural barrier. Take Hibiscus, which I often call the 'botox plant.' It is packed with amino acids that go beyond just making hair look shiny; they actually help in strengthening the roots. My Argan Oil selections are another example of focusing on function. It is pure hydration for dry, brittle strands. If you are dealing with scalp dryness, especially in winter, I reach for Sal Butter. It is dense, deeply moisturizing, and absorbs without the greasy feel of mineral-based products. I even use Glycerin and Aloe Vera, which are often misunderstood. People think they are just fillers, but properly formulated, they are the backbone of moisture retention. My goal is to make sure you understand exactly what you are applying to your scalp. I avoid synthetic heavy silicones that hide damage, opting instead for plant-based solutions that promote long-term health, not just a quick aesthetic fix. ## About MadebyRen I am Renuka.
