Question Need advice on lens hood

I own a canon EF-S 18-55mm and 55-250mm lens. Looking to get a petal shaped lens hood, plastic or metal. Which model of petal lens hood will fit especially to my EF-S 18-55mm lens. And where can i buy it from.
Thanks.

I think you shouldn't waste $ on hoods for 18-55mm....
But if you really need them, considered third party one...
Model EW-60C for 18-55mm
Model ET-54 for 55-250mm

You cannot get petal hoods for both of these lenses, as the front element and the part where the hoods mount on the lens barrel rotate during focusing. You can only find standard shape hoods.
