Use Tea tree oil shampoo for a natural clean

If you're looking for a natural way to fight dandruff and keep your hair and scalp squeaky-clean, tea tree oil shampoo may be just what you're looking for.

Using these specially formulated shampoos is a great way to keep your hair and scalp clean without using man-made chemicals and detergents.

This healthy oil has potent anti-microbial properties. Studies show tea tree oil is effective against bacteria, fungi and yeasts.

In fact, researchers have recently discovered that tea tree oil is effective against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as the deadly Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Areus (MRSA).

Tea tree oil can provide calming relief for improved scalp health and help reduce itching and dry scalp conditions.

I've used tea tree oil to treat dandruff and you can also buy specially-formulated kits to treat head lice.

How to Use Tea Tree Oil for Improved Hair and Scalp Health

I found the best way to use tea tree oil for your hair is mix it with your shampoo.

Here's a simple way to wash your hair using this healthy oil:

1. Wet your hair and then pour a small amount of shampoo in your palm.
2. Add a few drops of tea tree oil to the shampoo, rub your palms together to mix and then apply to your hair.
3. Massage the shampoo/tea tree oil mixture through your hair. Make sure not to get any in your eyes as it may sting.
4. Rinse thoroughly and then apply hair conditioner if you use one.
5. Healthy Oil Tip: You can also use coconut oil for hair conditioning. Apply virgin coconut oil to your hair after the tea tree oil treatment for extra deep oil conditioning and hair moisturizing. I found coconut oil is an excellent hair conditioner. You can read many more testimonials from others who've used coconut oil for hair conditioning right here.

How to Buy Tea Tree Oil Shampoos

While you can mix your own shampoo and tea tree oil combinations at home, you can also buy them premixed. These specially-formulated products have tea tree oil added into the shampoo.

There's a number of brands available and you can also try looking in your local health food store for tea tree oil shampoos.

If you're going to buy these shampoos you should look at how much tea tree oil is in the shampoo.

Unfortunately, some shampoo manufacturers don't have to list the dosage amounts of ingredients in their products. If they do, you should know that most ingredient labels are listed showing the highest ingredient amount first in the list, followed by ingredients of lesser amounts.

If your shampoo contains tea tree oil and has an ingredient label, look where tea tree oil is listed. If you find it's listed dead last, this may tell you that you're not getting very much tea tree oil in that particular product. Using a shampoo that has tea tree oil listed higher up on the ingedient list may provide more of this healthy oil for your hair.

For your convenience, I've listed a few of these shampoos available from Amazon.com. There's a number of brands to choose from and I hope you'll find one that works well for you.
