"Peppermint hair oil is not something I would be so into but it is energizing & soothes my scalp. Back for more."— Alexandra H.
"I was in need oil for my hair because I was using oil from the beauty supply store which was gooey and sticky and added unnecessary fillers. This right here was what I needed, a little goes a long way and no residue."— Miguel R.
"I love that the oil doesn't make my hair greasy. The tingling feeling is great. The oil seems potent with a lovely minty smell."— Tania B.
"I've been using Allpa Peppermint and Rosemary oils for two years now. I'd tried a slew of other hair oils over the last ten years trying to address mild thinning & honesty never saw a difference, but Allpa's products have been a game changer for me. I use the peppermint and rosemary oils in combination 2-3 times a week, and my hair density has really improved."— Maria M.
"It helped alot with dry scalp! No more flakiness for me!"— maria V.
That cool, tingling sensation isn't just pleasant. Menthol, peppermint's key compound, activates TRPM8 receptors in your skin (Dillon et al., 2022, Microvascular Research). It's the same reason peppermint feels refreshing on contact. That immediate feedback gives you confidence the oil is actually doing something, especially in those early weeks before visible changes appear.
When your scalp is flaky and irritated, everything feels off. A 2025 randomized controlled study (Mooventhan et al., Indian Journal of Integrative Medicine) found significant reduction in scalp itching in participants using peppermint oil. The menthol cools on contact, and the carrier oils help lock in moisture. Most customers say their scalp feels more comfortable within the first week.
Heavy oils that sit on top of your hair and leave residue are the worst. The carrier blend here uses maracuja oil, naturally rich in linoleic acid, a lightweight essential fatty acid that absorbs fast. Combined with sacha inchi, one of the richest plant sources of omega-3, the formula sinks in and conditions without weighing your hair down or leaving a film.
Peppermint has been studied in research settings for scalp health benefits (Oh et al., 2014, Toxicological Research). The real key is consistency. Customers who use it 2-3 times per week for 8 or more weeks report their hair looks fuller and feels stronger. Not everyone sees the same results, but the ones who stick with it notice a difference.
* Individual results may vary. Based on traditional use and available research.
Real ingredients you can read. No synthetic fragrances.
Use the dropper to apply 3-5 drops directly to your scalp. Part your hair into sections and focus on areas of concern.
Use your fingertips to gently massage the oil into your scalp for 1-2 minutes. You'll feel a cool tingle and smell fresh peppermint as you work it in.
Leave the oil on for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper conditioning. No need to rinse if you prefer a leave-in approach.
Rinse with shampoo if you applied generously, or leave it in if you used just a few drops. Hair should feel soft, not oily.
* Always patch test first. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, stop use.
