I have been searching for a place that sells strictly tea tree oil, and most just sell a product with something like it in it... But walmart has it, and it's rather inexpensive, it's in the ethnic haircare section...

I just started using it, will let ya'll know how it goes...

If u have used it, did it work for u? Did u massage your scalp, how often did u use it?

" I have used it not on a daily basis though. Tea tea oil @ walmart come in that small little bottle. Right next to it is the olive oil and carot oil. I found the carrot oil more moisturizing thus better for dry ends. Real tea tree oil that is 100% pure and natural, smells like crap but all oil that is 100% percent natural needs to be diluted. It is usually found at healthfood store. Those stores also have natural supplements for hairloss. the oil seems to cleanse the scalp but not something you want to put on your head often. Maybe use it in conjunction with a shampoo once a month. Hope this helps. "
