Several years ago I bought a shampoo with tea tree oil in it (from Sally's Beauty Supply, unsure of what brand it was) and after using it whenever I shampoo, which was once a week, it stripped my hair, to a point where a co-worker asked me if I dyed my hair (it looked almost like the color of straw) I'm sure it wasn't anything else I was using at the time because that was the only thing different in my routine. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone use products with tea tree oil in it and why?
!! It has never stripped my hair but it seems strong enough to be like a clarifying poo. I always heard the "tingle" is a good thing so I try to use it maybe 1 x per month followed by a deep creamy conditioning under the plastic shower cap for an hour. Oh yea! When I wore braids I had a T-Tree braid spray that I loved because it cleaned the scalp and soothed the tightness.
