"You are not the only one". Mielle Organics is coming under fire after a woman said the hair care product line made her hair fall out. She isn’t the only one.
In a popular video that has received over 1.1 million views, a TikToker named Amina (@aminalens) shared her experience, claiming that the company's items caused her to lose hair and advised her followers to steer clear of the brand.
“It all makes sense now as to why my hair was literally falling off of my scalp,” the woman began in the clip.
She then went on to say that initially, she took the blame for her hair loss upon finding out about it. She thought the large patch of hair loss on her scalp was due to stress. She also thought she might have had alopecia or another health issue.
However, she eventually noted the hair loss coincided with the time she began using Mielle Organics.
“But now I’m seeing all these videos online, and it makes sense because I started using these products four, five months ago,” she continued. “And my hair has been falling off of my head crazy.”
Mielle Organics faces online backlash
In 2022, numerous influencers gave credit to the brand for boosting their hair growth, leading to widespread attention.
However, it seems the online opinion on the product has changed.
A woman recently claimed that Mielle’s rosemary and mint oil caused her hair to fall out. She even demonstrated to viewers the hair clumps she believes she lost.
A licensed cosmetologist stitched that video and added her own critique of the brand. She accused its founder, Monique Rodriguez, of selling out to the conglomerate Proctor & Gamble.
In the comments section, many said they planned to ditch the brand and offered alternatives.
“Olaplex products are the best!! I use their shampoo, conditioner & the treatments,” user NIMO.x commented.
“I’m going back to [Shea Moisture] idc,” user Furhan added.
Others said they have had a similar experience with Mielle’s products.
“You are not the only one,” user Muna said. “I went back to Pantene.”
“Omgg sis I have the EXACT same bald spot!!” another user said. “And I even went to the dermatologist and got a prescription but nothing was working until i decided to stop using the Mielle oil as well!!”
This product should be sent to a lab to be tested. Back in the 90s it was said that Proctor and Gamble were no good.. They prput some type of chemical in the products that making ppl if black and brown hair to fall out...
