Hi Steven,





You could try Tea Tree anti-dandruff shampoo.





Here is some information on tea tree which may be of some help to you.





Tea Tree Oil 鈥?Nature鈥檚 Healer





Everyone's heard of Tea Tree oil now but are the full range of its amazing properties well known?





Aborigines have recognised its healing qualities for hundreds of years, it鈥檚 natural and it can heal cuts and burns, boils and warts, athlete鈥檚 foot and thrush, and boost the immune system. It is antiseptic, a fungicide, fights bacteria and viruses, has anti-inflammatory qualities, expectorant and balsamic characteristics. It is a natural household disinfectant and insecticide and can even be used as a household cleaner.





Tea Tree oil, distilled from the leaves of the Melaleuca Alternifolia plant found in Australia, is a complex chemical substance made up of almost 50 chemical compounds. The oil is pale yellow and has a pungent medicinal smell.





The Tea Tree plant is a spindly shrub with soft, bright green needle-like leaves, and tiny cream or yellow flowers. It is native to swampy areas of New South Wales, but as demand has grown more plantations have been cultivated in the same part of Australia. As the healing properties of Tea Tree oil become more and more recognised, it is fast becoming a massive industry.





While Australia is at the forefront of this industry, other countries that have begun to produce the plant include Zimbabwe, New Zealand, and Ecuador.





Where Tea Tree got its name





The Melaleuca Alternifolia plant was traditionally used by Aborigines to treat cuts, wounds and skin infections, by making mud packs with the crushed up leaves. The name 鈥楾ea Tree鈥?emanated from Captain Cook and the crew of HMS Endeavour who landed in Australia in 1770, picked the aromatic leaves to make a spicy and refreshing cup of tea and even brew their own beer!





As early as 1923 clinical trials in Australia proved that Tea Tree oil had antiseptic and bactericidal properties, and was 13 times as effective as carbolic which was the standard at that time. Its diverse healing qualities made it standard issue in the first aid kits in the Australian Army and Navy during World War II. However, after the war the advent of antibiotics and other man-made drugs meant that Tea Tree oil, like other natural remedies, was largely overlooked.





What it heals





Dissatisfaction with the side-effects of 20th century drugs set in during the 1970s and Tea Tree oil became popular again, but mainly in Australia. Nowadays the average Aussie household has a bottle of Tea Tree oil in their medicine cabinet and the rest of us are waking up to its amazing qualities.





There are many applications for Tea Tree oil. Taken as a mouthwash it can eliminate bad breath, gingivitis and mouth ulcers, and used as a gargle in warm water it soothes sore throats. It can be applied neat on burns, bites, cold sores, spots and rashes, or it can be diluted in the bath or on a compress for sunburn, dry skin, eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.





An effective insect repellent when dabbed on the temples, ankles and wrists, Tea Tree oil can be put in a base oil and massage into the muscles to ease rheumatism and back ache. Its antiseptic properties prevent the spread of germs and used in an oil burner, it can be inhaled to protect people from flu and fever, while easing sleep and bronchial conditions.





Head lice





Young children frequently get head lice from school, and the rest of the family are likely to get them too. Lice thrive on clean hair and it has nothing to do with being dirty. To prevent and eliminate: add 5-10ml of Tea Tree oil per 100ml of unperfumed, pH balanced organic shampoo. Massage into the scalp for 10 minutes before rinsing. Use a special comb (available from chemists) to check if lice are present, and if so, repeat treatment every two to three days as the treatment will not kill the eggs and these need to have hatched to catch them.





Bronchitis/sinusitis/colds





There are several ways in which Tea Tree oil can help. Five drops of oil can be put into a bowl of boiling hot water and inhaled for five to ten minutes 鈥?if you can bear it that long. Put 8-10 drops in the bath to encourage the body to sweat, and go to bed straight after. Keep the bath cool if body temperature is high. At bedtime three drops of oil added to base oil can be massaged into the chest, back and throat and combined with other oils like eucalyptus and lavender.





Dermatitis and eczema





Neat Tea Tree oil can be dabbed on the affected area once or twice a day. For larger areas mix 25 drops of Tea Tree oil into 100ml boiled water and apply twice a day when it has cooled. Take regular baths containing tea tree oil drops. It is important to do a patch test on the skin first. Dab some oil on to a healthy area of skin and leave for an hour to see if irritation occurs. Alternatively you could use a Tea Tree oil based hand and body lotion.

Don't really know but just wanted to tell you not to use head %26amp; shoulders coz it takes the layers off of your scalp and is apparently banned in the US!
Garnier Fructis (or something like that) Works great.
