I really wanted to love this shampoo. I wanted to leave the common drugstore brands that strip your hair and use something more natural. This was horrible. I've never had so much dandruff and scabs on my scalp. Sorry for sharing so much but it's true. I usually get hives when I'm allergic to something and I have the bad habit of scratching thus resulting in scabs. I honestly have no idea why this happened. Could it be that my scalp prefers sulfates and parabens? This shampoo, as the title states, has tea tree oil in it as well as peppermint oil. I have other products that have tea tree in them (such as a serum I put on my face) and I haven't had any reaction so it could very will be that I'm allergic to peppermint oil. Regardless my experience with this shampoo was plain out bad. Finally I couldn't take the itch anymore and I went back to using my John Frieda shampoo and conditioner. It's really unfortunate because I rather enjoyed the tingly sensation I would get every time I used the Shikai shampoo. The smell is also nice. You can definitely smell a hint of tea tree but it's mostly a minty smell.
I'm not giving up on using natural/organic shampoos... I just need to find one that doesn't make me want to rip my scalp off lol.
