Does mielle hair oil cause hair loss?

I've been using Mielle hair oil for a few months now, hoping to improve my hair growth. But my hair feels thinner and I'm finding a lot of strands on my comb. Could Mielle hair oil be causing hair loss?

I literally went through this last month! I bought the Mielle oil because of the hype, but within two weeks, my hair was falling out in clumps. As soon as I stopped using it and went back to simple aloe vera and coconut oil, my scalp recovered. Be very careful with it.

The Mielle rosemary oil is highly concentrated, which can sometimes clog hair follicles or cause allergic contact dermatitis, leading to temporary hair shedding. While many people see great results, others face severe reactions. Consulting a dermatologist is the best way to understand if it suits your specific scalp condition.

Haan na, so many people are talking about this on Instagram! Actually, rosemary oil is very strong, so if we use it daily without washing it off properly, hair loss can happen. I think it is better to use it very lightly only once a week, ho na?

Honestly, yes, it caused massive hair fall for me too. I had to stop using it within a week.

Listen boss, if any oil makes your hair fall out, stop using it immediately. There is no magic in expensive imported bottles. Our Indian hair is used to simple mustard or coconut oil, so stick to what works for you instead of running after trends.

I have PCOS and deal with hair thinning, so I tried Mielle oil out of desperation. It was a bit too heavy for my fine hair and caused some shedding, probably due to scalp buildup. Since PCOS hair loss is hormonal anyway, I found that visiting my doctor and managing my diet worked much better than any external oil.
