I have been experiencing some thinning around my hairline AND some breakage at my temples. After looking into the benefits of rosemary oil for hair growth, I picked up this product from my local Walgreens. Here’s how I use it: Usually I section my hair and apply to my scalp a few hours before I’m going to shower. I like to massage it in for a few minutes. On some occasions I’ve mixed a few drops in with my shampoo in the shower. This oil will feel very heavy if you have fine hair like me. Keep in mind a little goes a long way. Sometimes I apply it like a serum to my dry/brittle ends- and it leaves my hair feeling very soft and nourished. Love that it is strengthening my hair to protect against further breakage, and soothing my scalp/encouraging growth.

I’ve been using it continuously and have noticed a change in the overall health of my hair. Also I have new growth in the front!!! It’s super affordable too compared to most hair oil / hair growth products. I think I paid $10.

Be prepared fir a breakout.

I’ve been using this product for a month now. I started using it for hair growth, as I lost some hair after having surgery a year ago. After one month, I have not noticed any signs of hair growth, which I read elsewhere was usually the time people started noticing hairs poking through in their scalp. My issue with this oil is that is has caused be to get a major breakout on my forehead. I now have big, deep blackheads on my forehead. It took me almost two years to get my skin to a good place, and this oil ruined it. I usually avoid products for my scalp and face that have coconut oil, because I know it’s too thick for me and clogs my pores, but I thought it was so low on the ingredients list that I would be okay. I’m not sure if it’s the coconut oil, or other oils ... MoreI’ve been using this product for a month now. I started using it for hair growth, as I lost some hair after having surgery a year ago.

If I don’t see a difference with hair growth, I won’t be using this anymore. Be prepared for the impact to your skin. I wouldn’t recommend for people with bad acne without consulting a dermatologist or having a plan to address a potential breakout.

DO NOT BUY! PLEASE READ THAT AGAIN

Would have given it zero stars if I could! Have been using this product for a few weeks in hopes of it thickening up my edges. My hair has mostly been in protective styles and wanted to work on strengthening it. I noticed how the back of my neck would burn a bit/ itch after about 5-10 minutes from applying. However, I continued to use it as I thought it may just be my scalp adjusting to the mint and rosemary. Because eventually the burning stopped. I struggled mostly with the nape of my hair from ponytails, so that is where I focused on applying the oil. Over the next few days into week, I noticed the nape of my hair thinning tremendously! It has eventually turned into an enlarged baldness area. I also broke out with very painful rash like dry patches along my neck. ... MoreWould have given it zero stars if I could!

But more so embarrassed and extremely sadden at the damage it has caused. Since this has been the only change to the products I have been using on the last 5 years of being natural. Hoping it can be treated and restored. I also googled this product and see many other costumers have shared very similar experiences of a burning sensation and hair loss. Wish I would have dug into the reviews deeper before purchasing!! NEVER AGAIN will I entrust this brand!

Good for regrowth but do research

I have used this for a long time, and it has always worked really well- I have long, fine hair with slightly damaged ends and an oily scalp. I always massage an oil or scalp treatment into my scalp the night before washing my hair and apply a hair mask or heavy leave-in conditioner on the ends. Treating my ends stops them from drying out/being stripped by my shampoo, and this oil has definitely spurred on some regrowth around my temples and parting. It definitely won't work for everyone, so I would do some research first as there are alternatives. I spend a lot of time researching what ingredients or formulations will work best for my hair type. The ordinary multi-peptide serum for hair is a good option if you need something lighter, or you could mix this product ... MoreI have used this for a long time, and it has always worked really well- I have long, fine hair with slightly damaged ends and an oily scalp.

The ordinary multi-peptide serum for hair is a good option if you need something lighter, or you could mix this product with a carrier oil to dilute it. I eventually stopped using it as It's a lot of money for such a small quantity of oil- I wash my hair frequently so It would need to be replaced very often. I now use the Anwen grow me tender serum and their high porosity sleeping beauty mask as a pre-wash treatment the night before I do my hair, as they have great ingredients and last much longer.

Great for Scalp Health and Regrowth!

I've been using this oil for about a year now. I got it because there wasn't anything in stores like it. I was looking specially for a clean rosemary oil for hair that would help with hair loss/shedding. I found this one and it's been amazing! I don't have thick, curly, or super textured hair. But using this oil as a pre-wash treatment (leave in for at least 15 minutes--no more than an hour) has really helped me! I used to have an extremely oily scalp that had to be washed everyday. Now I can wash my hair every other day. And I do think it's because this product gives my scalp the moisture it needs before washing my hair. So it has balanced my oily scalp. And in terms of regrowth, I did see a huge difference in my hairline/baby hairs and saw growth (tiny porcupine ... MoreI've been using this oil for about a year now.

And in terms of regrowth, I did see a huge difference in my hairline/baby hairs and saw growth (tiny porcupine hairs growing all along my scalp). My hair used to feel super fine and stringy. Now my hair has a little bit more coarseness (I'm East Asian) and the individual strands look thicker. I really love this oil! I think this product works well for many different hair types, you just have to figure out how to use it depending on your hair/needs.

Honest review!

So I waited a month and a half to leave this review, wanted to give the most accurate review possible, just finished my first bottle. For some background, I have 2a/2b type hair. These past couple of years I had been experiencing excessive hair loss, when I styled my hair and when showering. I had looked up different oil remedies, bought different types of oils, watched videos, slept with it on, left it on for certain amount of hours..only to have the oils make my hair fall out even more. I had seen this on TikTok but was hesitant because of my previous oil attempts and because this seemed more of a type 4 hair product. Finally gave in and decided to purchase, let me tell you..not only is oiling my hair my favorite part of hair wash day because it’s so soothing but ... MoreSo I waited a month and a half to leave this review, wanted to give the most accurate review possible, just finished my first bottle.

Finally gave in and decided to purchase, let me tell you..not only is oiling my hair my favorite part of hair wash day because it’s so soothing but this has greatly increased new growth..I have so many baby hairs coming in! I have also noticed a significant decrease in hair loss, especially when showering. This definitely has made my hair roots stronger. I oil my hair once or twice a week only, no more than that. With that being said, I only leave it on for an hour max before washing it out, I feel it would be too strong to leave in over night for my hair type. This also does dry out my hair but nothing some leave in conditioner after showering doesn’t fix. I will continue to buy and use, so excited to keep using this great product! Would recommend.

MIRACLE OIL

I have a rare brain disease that causes hair loss, along with the medications for the disease that cause hair loss as well, my hair literally went from amazing to just awful.. with every flare up I was losing even more and it was devastating.. with the last flare up I was considering shaving my head because my hair had thinned so much.. but I decided before I did that I would at least try something to help save it and so I got this and I am so glad I did. It’s been about a month and it has already caused such great results and I’ve been in a flare up basically this whole past month and no hair loss, I’ve actually had hair growth and the thickness has increased greatly. If I wasn’t embarrassed or shy I’d post my photos but I’d rather not lol.

It also has a tingly feeling so when my head is in pain it feels pretty to me, kind of like a relaxing feeling and helps to soothe my head. It’s not a strong feeling but it’s pleasant to me for sure… I use it on the days I won’t be dressing up because it’s very oily, or I use it before bed and wear a bonnet and wash my hair the next day. It’s helped my split ends as well. I just overall really love this oil and I use whatever is left on my fingers and add it to my eyebrows and they are very thick now. I don’t have one bad thing to say about this oil at all, it’s just truly a miracle oil.. my hair has gotten so thick and pretty again.

OKAY PLZ READ!!!!

Heyo, okay so i gave this 5 stars because it is a lovely product with wonderful ingredients BUT MADE FOR TEXTURED HAIR. Writing cuz i'm seeing this trend now. If u are a white women with straight hair LISTEN UP. I bought this a while ago because i've been using rosemary oil on my hair (just plain - which you should prolly diluted with something) and wanted something more hydrating rather than plain essential oil. I DIDNT READ THE BACK - just thot it was rosemary mint and a carrier oil. I knew Mielle - A BLACK OWNED COMPANY, but thot well... this could help my hair. So i bought and used and realized that there are in fact many other ingredients in the product. This isn't to say they are bad, in fact it's got a lot of natural and healthy ingredients for your ... MoreHeyo, okay so i gave this 5 stars because it is a lovely product with wonderful ingredients BUT MADE FOR TEXTURED HAIR.

So i bought and used and realized that there are in fact many other ingredients in the product. This isn't to say they are bad, in fact it's got a lot of natural and healthy ingredients for your hair....but these aren't meant to non-textured hair. This product isn't meant for an overnight treatment/pre wash treatment (which i'm stuck only using it as). It's an oil made for coils/kinks for everyday moisture. It's too heavy for non-textured hair and you'll only be able to use it as a quick scalp treatment (which at this point don't even bother) If you want to help your hair grow, don't take away this product for who it was intended for her. Look for Products with collagen, biotin, natural herbs. There's plenty out there for white women....let's stop with these tik tok trends :)

Saving Grace

Due to my anemia and fighting off side effects from COVID I noticed my hair (locs) had been thinning out really bad, especially in the front. I tried other products, trusting in what they said and unfortunately they made it worse. I decided to take a chance on Mielle and I am sooooooo happy that I did. Been using it for about a month so far. Have had about 3 wash cycles in this month, using other products within the product group (shampoo, conditioner and leave in-masque) and I am pleased with the results. The weak side of my hair is beginning to come back. My edges/roots are looking bushy with a lot of new growth and the thin spots are disappearing. I have not re-twisted my locs all summer, just wash and apply treatment and products allowing my hair to strengthen ... MoreDue to my anemia and fighting off side effects from COVID I noticed my hair (locs) had been thinning out really bad, especially in the front.

I have not re-twisted my locs all summer, just wash and apply treatment and products allowing my hair to strengthen and grow and like I said I am seeing results. I am so pleased that I have found products that are working. The last thing I wanted to do was trim my locs and start wearing wigs due to hair loss. I plan to go through the entire summer just washing and applying the strengthening products fused with biotin and when I finally re-twist I'm sure my locs will be much thicker in the roots. I would recommend Mielle to any and everyone.

VERY long VERY in-depth review

i won’t rate poorly due to only using it for the second time (i wash my hair once a week and have only used it as a treatment before i plan on washing. i have thin, loose-waved hair, with some patching on top of my temples from birth control, lots of normal shedding and frizz. the 1st time i used the oil, i used as directed and applied a couple hours before i washed my hair. my hair was good, it was cool. the 2nd time however, i applied the oil to my scalp again, but this time i slept with my hair in braids and a silk bandana. i dont know if i was more observant than usual when i washed my hair the next morning or what, but i felt like i had a SIGNIFICANT amount of shedding after taking my braids out, even more while brushing it before i got in the shower, and even ... Morei won’t rate poorly due to only using it for the second time (i wash my hair once a week and have only used it as a treatment before i plan on washing. i have thin, loose-waved hair, with some patching on top of my temples from birth control, lots of normal shedding and frizz. the 1st time i used the oil, i used as directed and applied a couple hours before i washed my hair. my hair was good, it was cool. the 2nd time however, i applied the oil to my scalp again, but this time i slept with my hair in braids and a silk bandana. i dont know if i was more observant than usual when i washed my hair the next morning or what, but i felt like i had a SIGNIFICANT amount of shedding after taking my braids out, even more while brushing it before i got in the shower, and even MORE while shampooing and conditioning, and again more shedding when i was brushing my hair and running a pea-sized amount of the oil with my fingers from my mids to ends. my hair has almost zero frizz, so that’s cool, and my waves look more defined after styling with only a small amount of gel and letting it air dry. the longevity of my hairs cleanliness with this product is not an issue, you just have to know how to use oils on your hair (same goes for the shampoo. you should shampoo twice with any shampoo you’re using, especially after doing an oil treatment or any hair treatment for that matter). i just worry and wonder if that the amount of shedding i noticed was from normal, one wash a week- type shedding, or is it the oil and shampoo that is causing the shedding. i wish i would’ve collected all of the hair i had on my fingers after running them through my hair throughout each step of my wash day process, bc i know seeing it in a pile with how thin my hair is, i don’t think it would constitute as normal everyday shedding.. * i’d also like to note that i do brush my hair everyday, so the shedding is usually very minimal in comparison to now, and not as worrisome. ** will follow up with another IN-DEPTH review the next 2 times i use the oil and shampoo. i didn’t see any reviews that resonated with the experience i’m currently having. so i hope this is insightful to anyone who may be experiencing the same! i’ll also attach some pics of how my hair is described for reference. they don’t relate to the success or failure of the product, as they were taken before i started using the oil and shampoo.
