👤 Who Should Use It?

💬 Real-User Feedback

👍 Highlights & Praise

• Praised by InStyle Magazine and People.com as an affordable but effective formulation that reduces shedding, promotes scalp stimulation, and restores softness without greasiness.

• Doggedly defended on Reddit by some users:

  “I use it and find it's the best of the products I have used... I have locs btw.” 
  “I use this and it makes my hair feel amazing. Some people don’t like it, but my hair loves it.” 

⚠️ Concerns & Caveats

• Several Reddit users with low-porosity or sensitive hair reported dryness, itchiness, and breakage—even after short-term use:

  “It made my hair dry as heck… especially low-porosity hair.” 
  “My scalp started getting itchy and inflamed… had to stop using it.” 

• Some report formula changes or sensitivity issues tied to the rosemary mint line, potentially from reformulation after corporate acquisition. 

✅ Final Thoughts

The Mielle Rosemary Mint Strengthening Hair Masque has earned a reputation for delivering nourishing strength and shine at an accessible price point. It is especially well-suited for textured or damaged hair in need of repair—working best when used as a reinforcing step in a full care routine.

That said, sensitivity and dryness are recurring issues reported by some users—especially those with low-porosity or reactive scalps. Patch-testing and moderate use are highly recommended. To mitigate issues, alternate with moisture-focused masks and consider rotating lines (like Mielle’s Pomegranate or Honey collection).
