Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil is a beauty product that went viral on TikTok for its ability to stimulate hair growth. From nourishing hair follicles to smoothing split ends and conditioning dry scalps, this oil is formulated for all hair types and textures, including chemically treated hair. To use it as a scalp treatment, all you need to do is divide your hair into 4 sections and massage the oil into your skin. To treat split ends, apply the oil to your ends and wash it out after 10 minutes. Read on to learn more about this organic hair product!

Things You Should Know

Divide your hair into 4 even sections with hair clips or ties, then massage the oil into your scalp with your fingers or a scalp massager.
If you have straight or oily hair, leave the oil in for 30 minutes to an hour. If you have coily thick hair, leave it in for a few hours or overnight, then wash with shampoo.
For best results, repeat this process daily or 2 to 3 times a week for up to 6 months.
