Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment is a tingling mask that soothes, refreshes, and restores balance.
This rich, creamy treatment works like a weekly reset for stressed hair and scalps. Tea tree, peppermint, and lavender help remove build-up while calming irritation and leaving your head feeling fresh and awake.
The texture is thick yet easy to spread, with a cooling, minty tingle that feels like a mini spa moment in your shower. Hair is left smoother, lighter, and easier to detangle, with a clean, herbal scent that gently lingers.
Ideal for dry, flaky, or oily scalps, and dull, tired hair. Use when your scalp feels tight, itchy, or overloaded with product for a deep clean that still feels caring.
How To Use Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment
- After shampooing, gently squeeze excess water from hair.
- Apply a small amount to scalp, then work through lengths.
- Massage scalp for 1–3 minutes to activate the cooling tingle.
- Leave on for 3–5 minutes, or longer for extra comfort.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Use 1–2 times per week, or whenever scalp feels overloaded.
