Baldness, split ends and dryness can affect anyone, no matter your age or hair type. While hair oils are popular for tackling these issues, many experienced hairstylists emphasize that everything starts with the right shampoo. One standout product that everyone’s buzzing about is the Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo from Mielle Organics. With nearly 20,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, it’s earned a reputation as one of the best shampoos for thinning hair. Fans even rave about how it helps with bald spots and dryness, with some calling it a “miracle.”

Strengthen and nourish your strands with the moisturizing formula that reviewers say helps bald spots and thinning hair.
This popular strengthening shampoo is known for its intense moisturization, pleasing those with dry hair and scalps. It’s packed with biotin to help strengthen hair as it grows. The brand says it’s effective on all hair types and textures and is gentle enough to cleanse your locks and scalp without stripping out natural oils. Shoppers report it prevents split ends and promotes shine. And if you like a shampoo with a rich lather, you’ll love this one. It has a subtle rosemary scent that users say is surprisingly soothing.
One of its main ingredients, rosemary oil, is key. According to Michelle Henry, MD, a New York City dermatologist, it can vastly help stimulate hair growth. “Rosemary oil is equivalent to 2.5% minoxidil, which is pretty impressive,” Henry told Today. “It’s something that we can use during pregnancy or for patients who just don’t want to use minoxidil or are intolerant to it.” Though experts still can’t specifically pinpoint exactly how it works, the general belief is that it aids in improving circulation in the scalp and, in turn, that increased blood flow promotes cellular turnover and growth.

This top-selling shampoo has been getting major praise from shoppers and hair professionals. We scrolled through the five-star reviews to find a few raves.
“I am a 78-year-old woman who has always had thick, pretty hair… until I got old,” wrote one follicularly challenged fan. “First it turned gray, then wiry, then wispy thin with bald spots that showed. I have tried so many shampoos that just made my hair softer and more lifeless. Then I came across this shampoo, and I am a new woman! This shampoo gives my hair body, and it now actually covers my bald spots!! I get up in the morning and comb my hair and it looks good for the day. I am down to washing it every fourth or fifth day and it looks great for those in-between days. It’s a miracle! I am getting compliments on my hair! My head feels good. I feel good!”
One surprised shopper reported seeing results after just one week of use: “The difference in hair falling out during the shower is noticeable. Even my husband was shocked.”

“I’ve tried so many types of shampoos for my thin, colored hair,” another tress-challenged buyer fessed up. “This has been the very best. It leaves my hair soft and less frizzy. I’ve also noticed my hair has grown faster than before using it. My color looks amazing!”
“I actually believe my hair and my wife’s hair is getting thicker,” wrote a senior shampooer. “In our 70s, we both had spots where hair previously appeared thin and wispy. I’m no longer spending time moving hair around to cover a thinning-out area. My wife’s part seems to be filling in! I’m thinking our hair is getting color back, as well. I don’t believe it’s my imagination. A little bit of shampoo goes a long way [and provides] great lather.”
One shopper shared a minor con: “I wish they sold larger bottles!” the reviewer explained, before sharing that “the scent is nice, light and fresh and it always makes my hair feel very smooth.”
Speaking of the smell, this shopper had a complaint: “The scent is lovely, [but I] wish it lasted a little longer.”
