Review: I
usually don’t shampoo my hair, I stick with co-washing or a clay mask for
cleansing; but I really wanted to test the “conditionability” of the
conditioner. I have a NatureGate Tea Tree shampoo that I bought a while ago but
haven’t used since my first try because it really dried my hair out (which was
disappointing considering the awesome ingredient list), but I figured pulling it
out for this review would really put the conditioner to the test.
I’m not a
big fan of this product. I applied it directly after shampooing and my
hair didn't feel conditioned or soft. I usually leave my hair pinned away while
I get dressed, and after that process, my hair felt much softer when I went to
apply my styling products. I guess the conditioner needed a little time to work.
But for the price of the product, I wasn't very
impressed; I get more bang for my buck with Trader Joe’s Tea Tree Tingle
Conditioner which is my staple and I don’t see that changing any time soon.
As a
co-wash, the conditioner was pretty good; cleansed my scalp really, but I had
the same problem as my first try. My hair did not feel as good as it usually
does after a wash, it's not something I can put into words but when my hair is
really moisturized, it feels amazing and I just didn't get that from this
product. The Peppermint Tea Tree Conditioner is an ok conditioner but
I wasn't impressed.

Review: I love the
tingly feeling I got from this oil. I used it in the morning before going to
church and all through the day my scalp felt great. I love the ingredient list,
so many natural oils! I love that it has a spray pump which allows for good
control of dispensing the product. Once again though, I’m not a big fan of the
price tag.
My scalp
gets dry and itchy really quick, and it gets even worse when I work out. So I
started using a mix of jojoba oil and tea tree oil on my scalp every other day
and it works great for me. That mix basically does for me what this product did
for me at a much cheaper price. Switching to a simple regimen works so well for
me that I always find a hard time justifying price tags over $5 for hair
products. Anything more than that has to so super amazing things for my hair
that match what’s currently working for me or even better. And I already have a
great oil mix that makes my scalp all nice and tingly and seals my ends pretty
well. But for people who don’t like to mix oils and want something that helps
keep your scalp build-up free while sealing in moisture, this oil is great for
that.
