Mielle Hair Strengthening Oil 2 Pack

so I turned 40 and I have been noticing so much fall out in the shower.. like it’s crazy how much hair I lose. I still have really long really thick hair, so you can’t really tell, but it just bothers me seeing that much hair in the shower and my hairbrush.. makes me wonder how much more hair I would have if I didn’t shed so much!! Anyway, I came across this product in an effort to thicken my hairline. Originally, I came on here to get Minoxidil but somehow found this instead. I ended up purchasing this the shampoo, the conditioner, and the leave in. I did not get the hair mask because there were too many reviews of people saying it made their hair fall out too quick all at once in the beginning… Which if you look up hair growth products such as Minoxidil (Rogaine), that’s a possible side effect because it can cause a ton of shedding at once.. and that can freak people out. Kinda scared me so I figured an essential oil would probably be safer, and there is tons of peer reviewed papers about the effectiveness of rosemary oil and hair growth by way of stimulating the hair follicle. Just for reference, I have long thick brown hair (caucasian) and YES this is heavy on my hair if i’m not really careful how much I use, but I wear my hair up in a slicked pony/bun 7 days a week so it’s not a problem for me. On the rare occasion that I wear my hair down, I use the shampoo and the conditioner and very very little leave in. Tbh, I’m not that crazy about the leave in conditioner but I’m very happy with this particular product so I want to give it a chance. The shampoo I really like, and the conditioner is pretty good, too. Look I don’t want to jinx myself or anything lol but ever since the first day I put this oil on my scalp, I barely shed at all. I wish I had pics.. the shower is so much less traumatic when i’m not losing so much hair every time I wash it. At first, I used the dropper but that can be messy.. and since I have European hair, I can’t just put it on my scalp between braids.. so I had to get one of those oil dispensers that have the steel balls you roll over your scalp. The only ones that actually work are the $25 range with a little red light and vibrations but well worth it. I tried to be cheap and buy one for under $10 but that was a mistake because the oil wouldn’t come out and it was just too difficult. I returned it and bought a different one with good reviews that works every time. I usually dilute it with a little water just so it comes out easier. I am so happy I found this product. ps. I never took a before picture… But I literally just washed my hair, took a pic of the drain collection, and came on here to update this. That little teeny TINY wad of maybe 20 hairs is my entire fallout from washing today. My hair is 24 inches and normally I lose 10 times that amount.. that’s underestimating.. It’s usually a legit handful of hair. Like this is nothing. I’m so excited to see how my hair looks when I actually keep the majority of it on my head instead of it going down the drain !! update: It’s probably almost a year later and i’m still using this 4/5x a week and the shedding is still minimal. Very happy- i’ll probably never stop using this. Hard to tell how much it’s grown but probably a couple inches. I had little regrowth hairs all over my head for months and they stood out straight from my regular hair. This changed my life as far as my hair is concerned. Also, using the oil dispenser really doesn’t make your hair greasy if you are careful and don’t over use it. It absorbs pretty quickly. Love love love this.
