    Aloe vera and tee tree oil would be a help :)

    Yup pretty much, you can was your hair with a tea tree based soap, or better off using tea tree oil and just give your head a nice little scalp massage with it in the shower. And Aloe Vera is very moisturizing for your skin and works wonder’s for dry irritations so simply apply it on.

    The knotty boy soap should help with that since it has tea tree oil in it. I would get a bottle of tea tree oil and just dab it on your fingers and massage it into the scalp.

    just wash with good shapoo and do the tea tree oil thing, if it fails, shake your head and pretend you are playing in the snow =)

    NO, I love the snow. Even when theres snow on the ground I am walkin around in shorts and sandals.

    So have you been able to get rid of the flakes?

    I usually mix tea tree oil with water and put in a spray bottle, because its really strong at full strength and it hurts my scalp

    How do you get the oil to mix with water, cause I have tought of tryin this but then rembered that oil and water dont mix.

    Does anyone else have a good way to get the tea tree oil onto the scalp? I find it hard to get past all the hair at the scalp and feel I am wasting alot of the oil in the hair.
