Tea tree oil offers numerous benefits. Its uses include skin treatment, decreased stress and anxiety, and air purification. One of its most effective uses is hair and scalp treatment. Tea tree oil moisturizes and purifies the scalp, prevents dandruff, and reduces greasiness. And it can also treat conditions, such as psoriasis that can affect the scalp.
To use tea tree oil for the scalp add a couple of drops to another oil like coconut oil, almond oil, or avocado oil and massage your scalp with that solution once a day. When you finish massaging, leave it on for 20 minutes before washing your hair with shampoo, which can contain a small quantity of tea tree oil too.
To prevent dandruff, add a few drops of tea tree oil to your shampoo. This will remove chemicals and dead skin cells from your scalp. This process can also decrease and prevent greasiness.
