Get help with a tingly dose of strengthening conditioners and skin refining agents. The non-medicated formula and stimulating fragrance of tea tree oil, peppermint and lavender protects, moisturizes and invigorates troubled hair.

What it does

• Conditions and strengthens dry, stressed hair
• Moisturizes strands and helps soothe the scalp

• Leaves hair soft, refreshed and smelling great

Key ingredients

• Tea tree oil, the heart of Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree collection
• Peppermint for the signature cooling sensation
• Lavender for a calming note
• Strengthening conditioners to soften and condition hair

Together, tea tree, peppermint and lavender make up what Paul Mitchell calls its Tingle Complex.

Who it's for

This treatment is a great pick for hair that feels dry, rough or "troubled," and for anyone who loves a refreshing, tingly scalp experience. It suits all hair types, and it's a nice weekly ritual if styling, color or weather has left your hair feeling worn out.

How to use

After shampooing, apply a small amount to clean, damp hair. Massage it into your scalp and work it through to the ends. Leave it on for a few minutes so it can condition while you enjoy the tingle, then rinse completely. Use it about once a week, or more often if your hair is very dry.

Building your hair & scalp routine

1. Cleanse with a gentle, scalp-friendly shampoo such as the Tea Tree Scalp Care Shampoo & Conditioner.
2. Treat once a week with Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment in place of your regular conditioner.
3. Reset every week or two with the Tea Tree Special Detox Kombucha Rinse to clear away buildup.
4. Style with a few drops of Moroccanoil Treatment on damp ends for smoothness and shine.

Frequently asked questions

What does "non-medicated" mean?
It means this is a cosmetic conditioning treatment, not a drug. It doesn't contain medicated ingredients meant to treat a scalp condition. If you have persistent itching, flaking, redness or a diagnosed scalp condition, please see a dermatologist.

Is the tingle supposed to happen?
Yes. Tea tree and peppermint create a cooling, tingling feel that most people find refreshing. If it feels uncomfortable or your scalp turns red, rinse it out and stop using it.

How often should I use it?
About once a week works for most people. Very dry hair may benefit from a little more.

Can I leave it on longer?
A few minutes is plenty. If your scalp is sensitive, keep it short and rinse thoroughly.

Can men use it?
Absolutely. It suits all hair types, and the fresh, minty scent isn't overly floral.

Is it safe for color-treated hair?
Paul Mitchell's current Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment is listed as color safe. If you've just had a color service, ask your stylist about timing for any scalp treatment.

How much should I use?
Start with a small amount on the scalp and lengths and add more only where your hair feels dry.

Esthetician tip

Apply the treatment along your part lines with your fingertips first, then smooth the rest through your lengths. You'll get more of the cooling tingle right where you want it. Love that feeling? Our head spa in Canfield takes it to the next level with a professional scalp cleanse and massage.
