Tea Tree Oil: What is it & Why is it good for your scalp?
Chanamu (차나무) stands for Tea Tree in Korean.
Tea tree oil, is also known as melaleuca oil. It is an essential oil that comes from steaming the leaves of the Australian tea tree. It is a natural antiseptic, famous for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. But how does Tea Tree Oil help our hair?
Benefits

Reduce dandruff
Studies have also shown that tea tree oil is effective in reducing dandruff, itchy and oily scalps. Incorporating Tea tree oil into your hair care products brings numerous benefits.
Using Tea Tree Oil
New to Tea Tree Oil? Do a patch test first to test for any allergic reactions! Never apply pure tea tree on your scalp without diluting it as it may be too concentrated. Doing so will over sensitise your scalp, doing more damage than good! For better absorption into the skin, mix the oil with a carrier oil. You may also choose to mix Tea Tree Oil with apple cider vinegar or aloe vera instead for better rinsing after treatment.
Tea Tree Shampoo
Instead of applying diluted Tea Tree Oil, you could also use an anti-dandruff shampoo which contains Tea Tree Oil.
