4. JASON Normalizing Tea Tree Treatment Shampoo and Conditioner
Tea Tree treatments are taking a big step up in soothing and treating itchy scalp that we all experience sometime in our life.
Jason worked on the perfect formulation to make this work miracles. Not only treat an itchy scalp condition, but also tame that unwanted frizz and shield your hair from heat damage.
I have heard some feedback on this product that it makes the scalp itch rather than sooth that annoying itch. This baffled me, so I thought I should investigate and I found the answer! The reason some people have experienced itchiness is because it is not to be used as a regular shampoo and conditioner. A treatment is a treat for the hair so using it twice a week is more than enough to ensure it is used to its full potential.
Elizabeth from London says “Fab! My man has tried a lot of treatments for dandruff and this is the best yet”
