Amazon Shoppers Say This $5 Oil Makes Fine Hair Grow Like a Weed

One of my little joys and self-care routines is watching a horror movie while very slowly and deliberately coating each strand of my (now blonde) hair with oil or cream; I try to do this DIY night treatment twice a week. The thing is, my hair is thick and I have a lot of it, so I end up spending hundreds of dollars on products per month. Inexpensive but still effective swaps are in order, like Bronner Brothers’ Tropical Roots Hair Growth-Stimulating Oil, currently on sale on Amazon for just $5.

The 8-ounce spray usually costs $9 — already a steal — but now that it’s 44 percent off, I could buy three bottles and still pay less than my usual order of Chopt salad. According to the brand, tropical root oil fights frizz, promotes growth and prevents split ends. The question of course is: does it work? Buyers have spoken: more than 2,500 five-star reviews indicate it actually gets the job done.

The sulfate-free oil is formulated with a host of delicious ingredients, including guava, rosemary and sage. Guava prevents the formation of androgen, a hormone responsible for hair loss, and is also rich in vitamins to strengthen and protect hair follicles. Rosemary is one of the GOAT hair care ingredients with hair growth benefits as effective as minoxidil (AKA Rogaine), plus it reduces dandruff and makes strands strong and silky. Finally, sage is a little-known ingredient that provides an extra boost of hair growth benefits.

One reviewer said their “thick, curly hair was falling out” as well as looking “dull” and “unhealthy.” After two months of use, they saw “fuller, thicker and shinier” strands, also frizz-free. Another said Bronner Brothers Tropical Root Oil made their hair grow like a weed.

Head over to Amazon to purchase the Bronner Brothers Tropical Roots Hair Growth Stimulating Oil while it retails for $5.
