It is a member of the mint family, so I wonder if trying other mints might work. I haven't heard of them as much for hair lately, but what herbs are talked about comes and goes. There are a lot of mints you can try, peppermint is only one of them. Lemon balm is another common mint (might be known for you as Melissa) and so is bee balm and coleus. Actually many of our aromatic herbs are mint cousins! Basil, rosemary, sage, sage, savory, oregano, hyssop, thyme, lavender, perilla, horehound, marjoram, za'atar are all mints. Also a fun fact, teak is a mint too! Yes, the tree! It's the largest mint. There are quite a few landscaping mints you might be able find growing around you already, and they grow fast so I know I'd certainly be happy to share if someone asked. I have not heard of them for hair, but if you can find them for free, I see no harm in trying - things like ajuga, obedient plant, lamium, and salvia are often weeds. Here some are invasive species so you can harvest at will. Perhaps worth looking into.
My hair loves sage and rosemary, both give a good shine and more clear scalp, but be aware they are known to be darkening.
