Struggling
with dandruff, dry and flaky scalp? Now, you can prevent these hair problems
from wreaking havoc into your already dull and lifeless strands with the use of
tea tree oil.
Most of us are
not aware that tea tree oil has a long history of medicinal use. From healing
burns and cuts to preventing hair problems, tea tree serves as a powerful herb
for the treatment of various skin and hair conditions.
Tea tree oil is
extracted from the leaves of the narrow-leaved tea tree plant
known as melaleuca alternifolia. This
yellowish colored oil has antifungal, antibacterial, antiseptic and
antiviral qualities, making it an essential agent for the treatment of
hair-related conditions like dandruff, split-ends, dry and flaky scalp as well
as hair fall and hair loss problems.
Tea tree oil
aids in controlling the build-up of sebum in the scalp, increasing the chances
of producing thicker and healthier strands. In addition, this essential oil
also prevents hair dryness and brittleness as it acts as a natural moisturizer.

Undiluted tea

the oil with carrier oils such as olive, sweet almond, jojoba and sunflower to
reduce its concentration.
