Many people believe Tea Tree Oil kills head lice, but that's a common misconception.
🌿 Tea Tree Oil may help reduce excess oil, soothe scalp irritation, and support a healthier scalp environment. It can be beneficial for conditions like dandruff or an oily scalp, but it is not a proven treatment for head lice.
🪳 Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) is commonly combined with pyrethrins in lice treatments. It helps prevent lice from breaking down the insecticide, making the treatment more effective against head lice.
✅ The most important step is getting the correct diagnosis. Using the wrong product for the wrong scalp condition can delay effective treatment and allow the problem to worsen.
