I’ve been committed to maintaining a thick, healthy mane and preventing hair shedding, thinning and future hair loss. When I came across the Tropic Isle Living Hair Gro Rosemary Mint Growth Oil while browsing Amazon, I was immediately intrigued by its potent blend of rosemary, mint, and other nourishing oils aimed at promoting hair growth and scalp health. As someone who has tried numerous growth oils and serums, I decided to give this one a try to see how effective it is. Here is my honest review after several months of use.
Key Ingredients:
- Rosemary Oil: Known for its ability to stimulate circulation and promote hair growth when applied topically.
- Peppermint Oil: Has cooling and anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe an itchy, flaky scalp.
- Jamaican Black Castor Oil: High in fatty acids, proteins, and vitamins that nourish hair follicles.
- Aloe Vera: Helps hydrate and condition both hair and scalp.
- Rose Water: Gentle toner that balances pH levels.
- Shea Butter: Rich moisturizer that softens hair.
Consistency and Scent:
The consistency of this oil is on the thicker side thanks to the castor oil, which makes it easy to distribute across the scalp without any running or dripping. It has a light, herbal fragrance reminiscent of walking through a rosemary bush with hints of mint in the background. The scent isn’t overpowering.
Ease of Use:
I apply a nickel-sized amount directly to my scalp and massage it in before bed a few times a week. The dropper makes precise application simple. It absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue.
Results:
I’ve been using this oil consistently for 1 month now. I noticed my scalp was less itchy and flakey when sweating after my workouts. There also seems to be slightly more volume and fullness closer to my roots and my hair strands feel noticeably stronger. While I haven’t experienced rapid or dramatic growth (I average about 1 inch 0f hair growth per month), I do believe this oil would help support healthy hair growth over time through its nourishing ingredients.
Cons:
- Potential greasiness – Some oils can weigh hair down or make fine hair look greasy. This blend would need to be tested for personal hair type.
- Strong scent – The rosemary mint scent may be overwhelming for some with sensitive noses.
- Ingredients – Certain ingredients like essential oils may irritate scalps prone to inflammation or dermatitis. Patch testing would be recommended.
- Expiration date – Perishable natural oils have a shelf life, especially once opened. The bottle may expire before it can be fully used.
- Dye interactions – The oils could potentially interact with hair dye or cause color to fade faster on treated hair.
- Build-up – Heavier oils may contribute to product residue building up on the scalp over time if not properly cleansed.
- Inconsistency – Results can vary greatly depending on individual hair needs, type, and other lifestyle/dietary factors.
Overall Assessment:
For the affordable price point, I feel this multi-tasking growth oil delivers when it comes to scalp health and hair strength. While results may vary, I’d highly recommend giving it a try if you struggle with hair and scalp issues.
