OGX Extra Strength Refreshing + Invigorating Teatree Mint Dry Scalp Treatment with Witch Hazel Astringent to Help Remove Scalp Buildup, Paraben-Free, Sulfate Surfactant-Free, 4 fl oz

Effective. Soothing, and pleasant to use. I have had issues with my scalp since moving from the West coast several years ago to a dried-out, landlocked state. About two weeks after I got here, I noticed a lot of hair in the shower drain and on the bathroom floor. Then, I lost a palm-sized patch of hair on the left side of the top of my head. The hair here eventually grew back, but it won’t grow longer, oddly, than about half an inch. My scalp has some kind of build-up on it that is not from styling products, as I don’t use any. This is accompanied by mild itchiness, and occasionally a few painful pustules. (Sorry.) I’ve spent a lot of money trying to improve my scalp- tons of scrubs, a whole spectrum of medicated shampoos- even cortisone injections, administered in a doctor’s office. Nothing provided lasting relief. I think it’s a condition I am just going to have to live with, unless I can somehow move back home. Until then, the best I can do is treat the symptoms.I am constantly researching what can help the scalp be more healthy. I found that tea tree, rosemary, peppermint, lavender, and clary sage essential oils are most often recommended to soothe the scalp and, in the case of rosemary, encourage hair growth. This OGX product contains tea tree oil and peppermint, as well as witch hazel. Witch hazel helps to soothe irritated skin. I liked this product’s ingredient list and its positive reviews, so I ordered it.It felt nice and refreshing on my scalp, and temporarily did banish the dryness and occasional mild itching. The build-up and itch, however, would return if I stopped applying it periodically throughout the day. It has a pleasant scent. To me, this product smells mostly of peppermint, which I quite like. It has the consistency of water, so I learned to dispense it slowly onto my scalp so as not to waste it.I quickly used up the whole bottle. If this product were more affordable, I would repurchase it, as it definitely improved the condition of my scalp. Its effectiveness did inspire me to attempt to concoct my own scalp treatment mixture until the recent cut in household income we are facing passes, and I can afford to purchase this OGX product again.I left off one star due to the need to re-apply the product so often, which caused it to be used up quickly. Your scalp situation may not be as severe as mine, and periodic re-application throughout the day may not be necessary for you. If you can afford this scalp treatment, I do recommend it. It contains effective and soothing ingredients, and is a pleasure to use.

Good. Just got can’t wait to see the progress

Works great. I tried many products to relieve the itching on my scalp. I nearly scratched my scalp off. If this didn’t work I was going to see my doctor. I thought I would have temporary relief from the itching but this treatment knocked out the cause. I had researched how to relieve itchy scalp and found both mint and tea tree oil named. This scalp treatment was a God-send to me.
