OGX Extra Strength Refreshing + Invigorating Teatree Mint Dry Scalp Treatment with Witch Hazel Astringent to Help Remove Scalp Buildup, Paraben-Free, Sulfate Surfactant-Free, 4 fl oz

This was the best why did they take it away??

FYI: This version has been DISCONTINUED and that absolutely blows! The replacement version is named New Extra Strength Refreshing Scalp + Rosemary Mint Scalp Treatment. Unless I can find the one i was using, I will have to try this new one. I’m hoping it will also work as well for my itchy scalp. I used to apply it as needed, then I decided to use it immediately after washing and towel drying my hair. That was the extra boost my scalp needed.

I have had issues with my scalp since moving from the West coast several years ago to a dried-out, landlocked state. About two weeks after I got here, I noticed a lot of hair in the shower drain and on the bathroom floor. Then, I lost a palm-sized patch of hair on the left side of the top of my head. The hair here eventually grew back, but it won’t grow longer, oddly, than about half an inch. My scalp has some kind of build-up on it that is not from styling products, as I don’t use any. This is accompanied by mild itchiness, and occasionally a few painful pustules. (Sorry.) I’ve spent a lot of money trying to improve my scalp- tons of scrubs, a whole spectrum of medicated shampoos- even cortisone injections, administered in a doctor’s office. Nothing provided lasting relief. I think it’s a condition I am just going to have to live with, unless I can somehow move back home. Until then, the best I can do is treat the symptoms.I am constantly researching what can help the scalp be more healthy. I found that tea tree, rosemary, peppermint, lavender, and clary sage essential oils are most often recommended to soothe the scalp and, in the case of rosemary, encourage hair growth. This OGX product contains tea tree oil and peppermint, as well as witch hazel. Witch hazel helps to soothe irritated skin. I liked this product’s ingredient list and its positive reviews, so I ordered it.It felt nice and refreshing on my scalp, and temporarily did banish the dryness and occasional mild itching. The build-up and itch, however, would return if I stopped applying it periodically throughout the day. It has a pleasant scent. To me, this product smells mostly of peppermint, which I quite like. It has the consistency of water, so I learned to dispense it slowly onto my scalp so as not to waste it.I quickly used up the whole bottle. If this product were more affordable, I would repurchase it, as it definitely improved the condition of my scalp. Its effectiveness did inspire me to attempt to concoct my own scalp treatment mixture until the recent cut in household income we are facing passes, and I can afford to purchase this OGX product again.I left off one star due to the need to re-apply the product so often, which caused it to be used up quickly. Your scalp situation may not be as severe as mine, and periodic re-application throughout the day may not be necessary for you. If you can afford this scalp treatment, I do recommend it. It contains effective and soothing ingredients, and is a pleasure to use.

I would love to use this on my scalp. In between hairstyles and gerin, especially when I work out drying out my scalp, it helps to refreshen and moisten

I have a very big issue with dry and flaky scalp and this soothed the itchiness to a extent but I already have oily hair and it made it look more oily. I have use over half of the bottle and now only use it for like a oil treatment when my scalp feels really dry an itchy rather then after every shower. I would only recommend using every now and again for itchy scalp that's why I am giving it 3 starts because it didn't resolve my scalp issues like I thought it would.

Great for itchy scalp and has eliminated all flakes and dandruff. A must have.

Good

LOVE THIS! Works great, smells awesome, and feels fabulous! Tingles the scalp but does not burn. Refreshing and appealing. Heals dry, itchy scalp in a matter of days…In addition to a hidden surprise….I was working on another project that required epoxy/resin that ended up all over my hands. Nothing removed it and recommend ways burned and damaged my skin. Thought of this baby, and it took the resin right off without damaging my hands. In fact, my hands never felt better! I even used it for dry patches of winter-induced eczema on my sides, belly, and back. Miracle liquid! Smells great too! I will ALWAYS keep this on hand from now on.
