Have you heard of tea tree oil?  It has many benefits, for adults and children.  I started using tea tree shampoo a few months ago on my kids and love it! 

One of the major benefits of tea tree shampoo is that head lice apparently don't like tea tree.  It can be used to get rid of lice - you'll still have to get the eggs out.  It's also a wonderful option for keeping lice away.  

Natural tea tree shampoo is also a wonderful option for anyone who is suffering from dandruff.  There was a study done that shows that tea tree oil helps to kill the bacteria and fungus on the scalp that cause dandruff in the first place.  There are even some studies that claim that tea tree oil can promote new hair growth.  

You can purchase tea tree shampoo at almost any store - if you can't find it at your local store, you can most certainly find it in shops that specialize in natural products.  Your local salon likely carried tea tree shampoo as well.  Since tea tree oil is an essential oil, you can also purchase your favorite shampoo and add 10 drops or so and make your very own tea tree shampoo.  

It has a nice smell that isn't overwhelming and really works to make hair feel nice and clean.  It's slightly more expensive than many of the budget shampoos on the market, but not so expensive that it's unaffordable.   

If anyone in your family struggles with a dry scalp or you are concerned about your children picking up head lice, make sure to try tea tree shampoo.  It's also a great natural choice for anyone concerned about the chemicals in regular shampoo.
