//17. Tea Tree Oil for Dry and Itchy Scalp
An itchy scalp can be annoying and embarrassing, and can also lead to hair loss. You don't even necessarily need to have dandruff to experience itchiness in your scalp. It can be caused by microbes, allergies and even skin conditions like scalp folliculitis, eczema and psoriasis.
How to use tea tree oil for dry and itchy scalp:
1.Add to your conditioner: Shampoo your hair with a mild shampoo. Follow up with adding 2-3 drops of tea tree oil to your conditioner. Mix well and massage into the scalp. Leave on for 5 minutes and wash off every time you condition your hair.
2. Itchy scalp massage oil: To soothe an itchy scalp, warm 2 tbsp. of coconut oil and add 4 drops of tea tree oil and 4 drops of peppermint oil, mixing well. Complimentary to tea tree oil's antiseptic properties, peppermint essential oil is not only highly stimulating for the follicles, but it has excellent anti-inflammatory properties and leaves a numb, tingly sensation to sooth itchiness.//
