You can use anti dandruff shampoo to eliminate dandruff from your hair, but remember it must contains zinc pyrithione, selenium sulphide, coal tar, ketoconazole, salicylic acids, or tea-tree oil. Instead of using shampoo products, there is a natural way to overcome your scalps problems. You can use tea tree oil because it acts as antiseptic that kill fungus in the scalp causing dandruff.

So, how to use tea tree oil to overcome your scalp problems? It’s simple and easy. Pour small amounts of shampoo on your palms then add with 2 drops of tea tree, apply to your scalp and massage gently. Leave on for 5-7 minutes. Then rinse until clean.

So, remember to wash these things to avoid the spreading of head lice. Eliminating head lice is easy. Comb your hair using a lice comb. You may use a sheet of a white paper to place the lice and lice’s eggs. Do it repeatedly until the lice and the eggs fall and don’t forget to kill them. Then pour your usual shampoo to your palm and add 5-7 drops of tea tree oil tea. Shampoo it to your hair and massage your scalp. Leave on for 10 minutes, and then rinse it. Do the treatment every day until the head lice disappear.

In addition, there are some considerations before using tea tree oil for sensitive skin people, because it may cause irritated, itching, and redness when undiluted oil is applied directly to the skin. Tea tree oil is only used as external usage because if ingested in sufficient quantities can cause diarrhea, vomiting, confusion, and coma. So keep it out of children and pets.
