When you decide to grow your hair naturally, then one ingredient comes to the picture and that is tea tree oil. It is loaded with various properties that can help to promote hair growth.

 How Does Tea Tree Oil Help in Hair Growth

Tea tree oil, which is prepared from Melaleuca Alternifolia leaves, is used to treat various scalp and hair-related problems, such as hair loss, dandruff, scalp dermatitis, etc.  Let’s find out the specific properties of tea tree oil that help hair growth.

Kills Fungus and Bacteria: The antibacterial and antifungal properties of tea tree oil help to kill the fungus, called as Malassezia that damages the scalp and causes dandruff (both these conditions cause hair loss and obstruct hair growth).

Cleans the Scalp and Opens the Pores: The use of tea tree oil cleans the dirt from the scalp and opens the pores of the scalp, which in turn supports hair growth.  Dirty scalp and clogged pores are main causes of obstructed hair growth.

Moisturizes the Scalp: The application of tea tree oil moisturizes the scalp properly, which means it maintains the natural oil of the scalp.  It treats dry and damaged scalp and keeps it healthy.  A well-moisturized and healthy scalp promotes hair growth.

Nourishes the Hair Roots: Use of tea tree oil nourishes the hair roots and makes it stronger. So the regular use of tea tree oil maintains the hair growth by controlling the hair fall issue.

Controls Excess Oil Production on the Scalp: Tea tree oil not only moisturizes the scalp but also controls the excess production of oil on the scalp. Excess oil on the scalp clogs the pores and leads to hair loss. So controlling the excess oil production of the scalp ultimately helps in hair growth.
