Do you have an itchy or irritated scalp? There are many causes for an itchy scalp; dryness, harsh chemicals, sensitive skin and even ringworms are some of the many causes. The majority of us will get an itchy scalp because of a harsh chemical in the one product we use to keep our hair clean, our shampoo. I have learned that synthetic ingredients, such as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, can help to clean the hair but since it is harsh especially on sensitive skin.

Using a shampoo with the tea tree essential oil can help to reduce the itch. Tea Tree is an organic ingredient that helps to clear away dead skin cells and stimulate hair growth and prevent hair loss. When purchasing a tea tree shampoo make sure to look for the USDA Organic seal to ensure you getting a more organic than synthetic product.
