If you periodically need to deeply cleanse and condition your scalp and hair, then the CHI Tea Tree Oil Collection is worth your consideration. The Tea Tree and Peppermint Oils effectively remove product build-up and dirt while balancing moisture levels. It is also very helpful if you have an irritated scalp since Tea Tree Oil has anti-fungal properties, and therefore many people find it very useful in treating fungal scalp conditions, such as dandruff.
CHI Tea Tree Oil Shampoo ($22.22 for 11.5 oz. from CHI & CHI Amazon Store): This is a refreshing and invigorating shampoo that does a very efficient job cleansing the scalp and hair, and effectively removes all traces of product buildup. For me, since I have naturally curly hair, it functions as an efficient clarifying shampoo when I need to remove product buildup, but it is the type of shampoo that I would only use once every few weeks. My husband, who surfs all of the time, finds it very efficient at removing salt, sand and dirt from surfing, but also reaches for it to remove product buildup. He uses it every few weeks, and says that more than that would be unnecessary.

CHI Tea Tree Oil Shampoo offers the invigorating and soothing benefits of tea tree oil and peppermint oil which work together to remove impurities and excess scalp build up, balance scalp oils, and maintain ideal moisture levels.

CHI Tea Tree Oil Conditioner ($22.22 for 11.5 oz. from CHI & CHI Amazon Store
): This is a lightweight and refreshing conditioner that offers relief for dry, itchy scalp, and will help to treat dandruff. Since I do not have any of these particular issues, I simply use it whenever I use the shampoo since they work so well in tandem. The Tea Tree and Peppermint Oils refresh and invigorate the scalp and awaken the senses, and for this reason this conditioner is especially refreshing when used in a morning shower.
