Hey all, as soon as my supplies get here I will be doing extensions. I got bohyme hair and Amm's pro-tak strips. Now Im wondering about shampoos and conditioners. I went to my bss and got s/c with tea tree oil. Any opinions ? good, bad or indifferent? lol I know to keep the conditioner away from the tape so Ill just use it on the ends. I also have a silk leave in stuff from Neutrogena that I like using on my own hair so Ill try it out on the extension hair. lll try to take before and after pics, but I usually get so excited when my supplies get here that I forget about the befores Thanks Em ------------- SHE human hair blend, 18", #4 with Supertape. |

I've used tea tree oil.its very good for the hair.I used the straight oil and found a little drop goes a long way.I think they will be good for adding moisture to your hair. -------------

It's Nature's antiseptic. It has a strong smell, so unless you need to use it for dandruff or itchy scalp, you might want to use another kind of oil for moisture, like jojoba. Jojoba has a similar chemical structure as skin oil, so it's good for using on your skin and hair without getting greasy like using mineral oil. Tea tree might be overkill. I used it when my son had bad dandruff once and it got rid of it in a week, but everyone at school remarked on the strong smell. Whatever. |

| LOL...I know what you are saying about the smell Syren!! Not too long ago I had an 'itchy' skin problem that no over the counter drug or even a few prescriptions from the Doc helped relieve. Someone recommended tea tree oil. Well...let me tell you pure tea tree oil has a wicked strong smell...my daughter couldnt stand to be in the house! (And I could barely stand the smell of myself...LOL) Im dead serious, my house smelled so bad from the little bit of tea tree oil that I used! |

Its the bss' generic brand thats supposed to be equal to Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo and conditioner. It has a strong peppermint smell, Ill try it out tomorrow and see how bad the smell is. lol ------------- SHE human hair blend, 18", #4 with Supertape. |

| YOu'll wish it was peppermint. Like Sherrie said, the real tea tree is very strong, and it's not peppermint. It's more of a pungent eucalyptus type smell but not as nice as that. Did we mention it was strong?! |
