OGX Tea Tree Clarifying Shampoo for Oily and Greasy Hair 385 ml

Product Information

Seborrhoeic dermatitis: Also known as dandruff, this skin condition exists in conjunction with a fungus that occurs naturally on the scalp. Tea tree oil can greatly reduce dandruff. Tea tree oil comes from a small Australian tree called Melaleuca alternifolia. As a natural antibacterial oil, it is able to thoroughly cleanse the hair, skin, and pores. Tea tree oil shampoos come in a variety of scents, from pure tea tree oil to mint. The tea tree oil content varies from one product to the next, and shampoos with a higher concentration are slightly harsher. You should choose a tea tree shampoo based on your personal needs, keeping in mind any skin conditions or infections you may have. Also note whether a shampoo contains 100% pure tea tree oil. If a product does not mention pure tea tree oil, this is a red flag that you may be looking at a lower-quality product that wouldn’t offer the same benefits as 100% tea tree oil shampoo. Your hair and scalp type

When it comes to your scalp, it’s delivering those same benefits, just for the skin on your head. It is said to be particularly beneficial for those dealing with scalp issues such as dryness, itching, flakes, and even full-on dandruff. Not to mention that the essential oil innately feels refreshing, a major win for anyone who craves that ultra-clean, totally refreshed sensation. The easiest way to reap these benefits? With a tea tree oil shampoo, of course. Hair loss: By strengthening the roots of your hair and clearing out dirt that can slow hair growth, tea tree oil is thought to reduce hair loss and encourage new hair growth. For the record, dandruff is actually triggered by excess oil on your scalp, not dry skin (which is why tea tree oil is clutch at helping to clear it up). So how can you tell the difference between dandruff and dry skin flakes? As trichologist Dr. Dominic Burg previously told Cosmo , "Dry-scalp flakes are usually quite small and noticeably dry," while dandruff "sheds as larger flakes that are usually clumped together." Oh, and keep in mind that you can have both dandruff and a dry scalp, just to make things more confusing! According to O'Connor, those who are oil-prone (as many dandruff sufferers are) could benefit from sulfates because of how deeply they can cleanse the hair. Sulfates tend to give the strongest cleanse, but there are plenty of sulfate-free surfactants that also do their job really, really well. You can always refer to a surfactants list to see which surfactants are harsh, mild, or gentle before buying a shampoo—and consider skipping the sulfate formulas if you have damaged, dry, or curly hair (think: types 3a to 4c). Keep your hair type and texture in mind As with any shampoo, tea tree shampoos vary in scent, texture, and ingredients. To find the right tea tree shampoo for your hair and scalp, first consider factors like tea tree oil content and the presence of additional ingredients in a product. How would they affect your hair type? Tea tree oil contentWashing your hair can be a mundane beauty chore—or it can be an enjoyable ritual. It all depends on how you look at it and the products you’re using. Personally, I love the sensory benefits that come with a fresh-scented shampoo. Who doesn’t want to turn their shower into a mini day spa?

While many companies do not list the exact tea tree oil content, you should look for a shampoo with around 5% tea tree oil for best results.
