I use a scalp health tracker app and noticed my dandruff scores improved when I switched to a shampoo with 5% tea tree oil. It is clinically proven to reduce the yeast that causes dandruff, so it is highly effective.

I was so worried my hair would fall out because of dandruff, so I did a lot of research on tea tree oil. People say it works, but make sure to dilute it because using it directly can burn your scalp. Be safe and try a tiny patch first!

You can mix a few drops of tea tree oil with coconut oil and apply it to your scalp weekly. It naturally cleanses the scalp. But if you have extreme redness, bleeding, or hair fall, please consult a skin specialist immediately.

I love my spicy food, but apparently, it can sometimes trigger scalp oils and dandruff! To balance things out, I use a tea tree oil shampoo which keeps my scalp super fresh and clean while I enjoy my street food.

It definitely helped me a lot during the monsoon when my scalp got super itchy. I just added some tea tree oil to my aloe vera gel and applied it for 20 minutes before washing. It feels very cooling and reduces the itch.

Look, tea tree oil works well because it kills the fungus. Just don't put it directly on your head like hair oil. Mix 2-3 drops in your regular shampoo bottle, shake it well, and wash your hair normally.

Dandruff can often be related to gut health and eating too much sugar or yeast-promoting foods. Along with tea tree oil on your scalp, try cutting down on dairy and sweets to see if your skin clears up naturally.
