3. Manufacturer country. The most valuable oil is from Australia - from the historical homeland of the plant. It is easy to recognize at a higher price relative to the means of other countries of production.
4. Aroma. This natural product has a characteristic woody scent with spicy notes. It is refreshing and versatile. Fakes have a recognizable and sharp smell of camphor oil. The aroma is perceptible even through the closed bottle cap.
5. Marking. The vial and box must contain the botanical name of the tea tree in Latin and the 100% natural essential oil.
6. Tara. Essential oils are not strictly oils. They are volatile and highly sensitive to light. Natural oil can be purchased only in small dark glass containers. The synthetic analogue will be packed in a transparent or plastic container.
7. Texture. At home, you can test the naturalness of tea tree oil by comparing it to any other vegetable oil. It is light, glides a little on the skin, but does not feel greasy, like, for example, olive.
8. Color. Real tea tree oil is light, yellowish in color.
9. Manufacturer. In search of a clean product, you should look at suppliers in eco-stores. Among organic products, counterfeits are less common, as they undergo strict controls.

If in doubt, you can always ask for a certificate for the oil. A bona fide supplier has it.

1. Consult a specialist. This does not apply to preventive measures and treatments for normal hair and skin. Consultation is mandatory only before the treatment of serious diseases - seborrhea, infections, baldness. They may be the result of another problem in the body, then complex therapy will be required, where oil is only an additional component.
2. Check the drug for an allergic reaction. This is done in the usual way - at the bend of the elbow or wrist. It is enough to apply a small drop of tea tree ether diluted to 5% with base oil and wait a few hours. If there is no itching or redness, you can apply it on the hair and scalp.

6. Store the product correctly and check its quality regularly. Ether loves cool, dark places. If stored improperly, the oil can oxidize or turn rancid. Such a product will no longer be beneficial, and the risk of getting a burn will increase.
7. Do not use oil with an expired date.

Application methods

There are a variety of ways to treat and restore hair with tea tree oil. It is possible to add oil to ready-made cosmetics: shampoo, mask, balm. Regardless of the purpose, the proportions of the substances are the same: 1-2 drops for every 100 grams of the product. The components must be thoroughly mixed and the time of use of the product must be increased to 10-15 minutes for the oil to take effect.

For this method, preparations from natural ingredients are preferred. After several applications, the result is already noticeable: the problem of oily roots and weak hair disappears. The combination of an essential oil with chemical constituents can be unpredictable.

When using oil wraps, tea tree ester is diluted with a base (transport) oil suitable for the hair type. For oily hair at the roots, jojoba oil is suitable as a base. For normal and dry curls, you can choose olive, castor, coconut oil as a base.

The wraps are carried out in courses, one procedure per week. The duration of the course depends on the condition of the hair. The result is soft, smooth, manageable hair.

It is possible to use oil as the main component of home masks. If the hair is normal and needs to be maintained in this condition, masks with olive oil, banana, yolk are suitable. Mixed hair (oily roots and dry ends) looks healthier after clay-based masks with the addition of moisturizing ingredients (egg, honey).

For dry hair, a product based on kefir and transport oils is suitable. To accelerate hair growth, masks are needed to increase blood flow to the hair follicles (with mustard, pepper) and the addition of tea tree oil.

Masks are applied no more than once a week for a long time. You can keep them on your hair from 15 minutes to 8 hours. The more aggressive ingredients are used (for example, mustard), the less you need to keep the composition on the hair. With soft ingredients (for example, a banana), you can leave the mask overnight. The result is well-groomed, shiny, healthy curls.
