For over a decade, Alabamans have had access to the Mielle Organics haircare brand, which many may be familiar with. The products are available at several retailers, including Sally Beauty, Walmart, Target, and local beauty supply stores.

The company's website states the owner, Monique Rodriguez is " a registered nurse, wife and mother of two girls, who desired to share her healthy hair journey using products with healthy ingredients to acheive amazing results. She knew the importance of knowing what is in your products and wanted to create healthier options for the whole family. The result is a brand that delivers products that contain natural ingredients and are effective."

In 2021, Women's Wear Daily reported Mielle Organics made more than $40 million in net sales, and landed a deal with Berkshire Partners.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Berkshire generally invests between $100 million and $1 billion per deal.

After many years of success with the company, Monique now finds herself in hot waters with many customers, who have gone to social media to share their frustrations with Mielle Organics. Many of the women have claimed to have suffered from hair loss after using the products recently, with some believing product ingredients have changed to cause this.
