What are the benefits of using tea tree oil for hair?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many: The hair may be rinsed with a spoonful of tea tree in warm water to control lice. It's is wonderfully soothing after hair removal. It can also ward off dandruff.

Shine: Tea tree oil is said to have particular healing properties on skin. In your hair it can give you a lovely sheen if used sparingly. Take care to not overuse it, otherwise your hair will simply look greasy and unwashed ... Not a good look.
