Hey Curlies, I know its been a while, but I’m back into the swing of things, and I’m here to give you a review for some products from the Mielle Organics line. This line is now available in most Sally Beauty Supply stores. I got my hands on the Cowash, Deep Conditioner, Leave in Peony, Mint Almond Oil, as well as the Hair Milk. I hope you guys enjoy this review & leave any comments below!
Mielle Organics Detangling Cowash $13.99 8oz
This is the first Cowash I’ve ever used outside of my trusty As I Am cowash my entire natural hair journey. Right off the bat, to compare the Mielle cowash to the As I Am cowash, I was already kind of turned off because you are getting less product but yet paying more money. But I still got it to try and be fair. The product smells pretty fruity in the bottle, but when you put it on your hair, it has a slight banana fragrance (it doesn’t linger though!). This cowash literally melts in your hair, zero suds, zero lather. Which I’m not used to because As I Am has a rich enough lather to make you feel comfortable that there is product on your hair. It definitely lives up to its name, because this thing can really detangle, the slip is unreal, so its amazing for those days that I would rather finger detangle, than use a wide tooth comb. Unfortunately, I almost used the whole bottle, and for me to only get ONE use out of it was a no go. Naturals typically cowash more than they shampoo, so I would prefer more than 8oz to get through this thick head of hair. There are better alternatives on the market when it comes to cowashes in my opinion. 3 out of 5 stars
Mielle Organics Babassu Oil & Mint Deep Conditioner $14.99 8oz
This product right here definitely made up for the cowash! The texture is so smooth and rich. The slip on this is really great too. When you first apply this product, its really makes your hair feel like silk. It is only 8oz, but a little bit goes a long way. This product also claims to double as a protein treatment, so whether you are natural, relaxed, transitioning from anything, it will be beneficial to have this product because it can reduce hair breakage & aid in retaining length. Once you rinse this product out, you are left with the shiniest, most defined curls. If you get only one product from this collection, make it this deep conditioner, its definitely worth the money! 5 out of 5 stars!
Mielle Organics White Peony Leave in Conditioner $15.99 8oz
This product kind of surprised me. Since I have super thick, frizzy curls, I normally go for products that are richer creams, I hardly even reach for a water based leave in like this. Its pretty water based, but still has a bit if a creamy texture to it. This product is a great base for whatever styler you will use next. Off the bat though, I had to take off the cap, because spray nozzles like this drive me loco lol! It’s just easier for me to pour it in my hand, then apply the product. This leave in is more beneficial for someone with pretty fine hair, or if you are about to heat style your hair and just need a good moisture base, or even just as a refresher. But if you have pretty thick hair, and don’t want to shell out $16 for some water in a bottle, it won’t hurt to skip this product. 4 out of 5 stars
Mielle Organics Mint Almond Oil $13.99 8oz
If you are a person that is into DIYs, I know you will definitely skip this product. It literally has 3 ingredients; Sweet Almond Oil, Soybean Oil, and Peppermint Oil (and in that order). So its not hard to whip up this product yourself. But if you are into more store bought products (like myself) then this product is great. This oil is a great multi use product. You can use it for prepoo ( like I did), I also used it to seal my hair with the LOC method, you can just use it for shine, or prep your hair for any kind of heat or chemical service. My favorite thing about this product is how lightweight it is. No greasy oily mess at all. Also, the peppermint oil in this is great for simulating the scalp, which can aid in hair growth! 4.5 out of 5 stars (just because you really don’t neeeed this product, its just pretty convenient)
Mielle Organics Avocado Hair Milk $15.99 80z
This hair milk is thicker and richer than I expected. In the bottle it moves like a lotion, but on your hair it feels like a crème. I kind of got nervous because it leaves a white film on the hair, that thankfully dries clear. This and the White Peony Leave in have the same perfume kind of smell. But this milk is ultra moisturizing, great moisture for even the kinkiest textures. But this product does have a holding factor, so if you are looking for some hold, eco styler goes really well with this product! But the thickness of this product is great if you’re looking to do a fluffy braid/twist out, or any low manipulation styles with very light hold. 4 out of 5 stars
All in all, I hope you enjoyed my review on the Mielle Organics line which can be found in Target as well as Sally’s Beauty Supply! Have you ever tried any of these products? Would you ever try them? Any questions, leave them below!
