Are you embarrassed by your dry, itchy scalp?
Tea tree oil shampoo for dandruff is an effective, natural remedy

What is dandruff?

Dandruff is a scalp condition that causes annoying itching and irritation, usually marked by white flakes throughout the hair.

A yeast-like fungus called malassezia (also know as pityrosporum) is usually the cause. This fungus is normally found on a healthy scalp without any issues, but sometimes a mild inflammation will produce dead skin cells, and when these dead skin cells mix with your hair’s natural oils and clump together, white, flaky pieces can be seen.

Infrequent shampooing, stress, hormone imbalance, illness or increased oil production are all known causes of this embarrassing medical condition known as dandruff.

Tea tree oil and dandruff

The majority of dandruff cases are caused by a fungus in the scalp area, and because tea tree oil has anti-fungal properties, it is an effective, natural remedy for embarrassing dandruff conditions.

The most common treatment for dandruff is an anti-dandruff shampoo, however these usually contain harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin on the scalp. Tea tree oil offers effective, natural relief for frustrating, uncomfortable scalp conditions such as dandruff.

Is tea tree oil good for dandruff?

Tea tree oil comes from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia - a plant native to Australia, and has been used for centuries as both an anti-fungal and an antiseptic topical treatment for a variety of conditions. Tea tree oil shampoo has been shown to significantly reduce the amount of dandruff, with no adverse effects.
