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

Product Information

Along with tea tree oil, ofc, the best tea tree shampoos tend to include moisturizers, exfoliants, and soothers that'll help to calm inflammation and hydrate your skin, whether you're dealing with a dry scalp or dandruff (or both!). And while hairstylist Meri-Kate O'Connor says anyone with dry scalp concerns—like dermatitis or eczema—should avoid harsh ingredients such as sulfates and artificial fragrance, some people can actually benefit from using sulfated detergents. If you have an overly oily scalp, look for a shampoo with a formula focused on removing excess oil and cleansing your skin. Stay away from products focused on hydration: tea tree oil already adds natural hydration. 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

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 About the brand: Paul Mitchell is a haircare brand founded by friends John Paul DeJoria and Paul Mitchell. It’s part of the broader JPMS haircare group, which creates tools and haircare for use both at home and in the salon. About My Hair: Fine with oily roots and dry ends You may have heard of the wonders of tea tree oil. This essential oil is used in many natural health implementations, including shampoo. Dandruff, hair loss, and head lice can all be treated with tea tree shampoo. In addition to soothing and cleansing the skin, tea tree shampoo gives your freshly cleaned scalp a tingly feeling that can be a pleasant way to start your day.

While it's safe enough to use for all skin types, Yadav does include one caveat: "I would advise those with sensitive skin to use caution when trying tea tree oil, as it can be irritating in high concentrations. It is best used diluted or, better yet, in a haircare formula." Thankfully, we've gone ahead and rounded up the best tea tree shampoos out there at all price points to help revitalize your hair with each wash. For extra "oomph," Yadav recommends Briogeo's Scalp Revival Charcoal + Tea Tree Scalp Treatment Serum, noting that it "can be used by people with all hair textures and works to balance, hydrate, clarify, and soothe the scalp with a blend of tea tree, charcoal, peppermint, and hyaluronic acid, while promoting healthy hair growth with biotin."

Best for: Normal to oily, fine hair types. The brand also claims the product is safe for colored hair. 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. Test the shampoo first. Some people are sensitive to tea tree oil. Before lathering your hair, apply a bit of it to a discreet place to see how your skin reacts. If you have oily or greasy hair, a balancing shampoo helps your hair reach a midpoint between frizzy and oily for a healthy, moisturised feel. Scent Pump bottles allow for easy dispensing and only take one hand to use. However, they are prone to leaking and can be difficult to take with you when you travel. Some pump bottles foam the shampoo so you don’t have to whip it into a lather on your head.

This may take some getting used to, and some people find the fragrance overwhelming. 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. 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!

Used for a variety of purposes (including as a salve for wound care, acne, and multiple types of fungal infections), tea tree oil is "an essential oil that has antibacterial properties, and in some concentrations, can also offer moisturizing benefits," according to Yadav. Its anti-inflammatory properties mean that "it's a great plant-based option for treating dandruff caused by malassezia fungus as it can help reduce overgrowth." And because their needs can be very different to yours,we offer options for your little ones throughout our toiletries range. Our kid’s dental care range has a whole host of exciting and playful accessories to make the bedtime routine a piece of cake.Many people find the tingling sensation of tea tree oil pleasant, though it can take some getting used to.
