Tea Tree has well-documented antimicrobial properties that make it effective for scalp health. This guide covers a simple weekly treatment.
Step-by-step guide
01
Prepare the blend
Mix 5 drops of Tea Tree into 10ml of Jojoba Golden in a small bowl. This gives a 2.5% dilution, which is appropriate for scalp use.
02
Section the hair
Part your hair into four sections. This ensures even coverage across the scalp rather than just the surface of the hair.
03
Apply to the scalp
Using your fingertips, apply the blend directly to the scalp along each parting. Focus on areas of dryness or irritation.
04
Massage for 5 minutes
Use circular motions with your fingertips to massage the oil into the scalp for 5 minutes. This improves absorption and circulation.
05
Leave for 15 minutes, then shampoo
Leave the treatment on for 15 minutes, then shampoo as normal. You may need to shampoo twice to fully remove the oil.
Tips
- —Use once per week. More frequent use is unnecessary.
- —Warm the oil blend slightly by placing the bowl in warm water before applying.
- —Tea Tree has a strong scent that dissipates after washing.
Safety Notes
Do not apply undiluted Tea Tree directly to the scalp. Keep away from eyes. If irritation occurs, rinse immediately with water.
