I have a chronic condition called seborrheic dermatitis. My scalp can be really scabby, flakey and irritated. Most products that contain mint or tea tree irritate my scalp even though a lot of literature says that these are great for my type of scalp. I decided to give the Mother's Mix Oil a try after being frustrated with my scalp. I wanted to put my hair in a bun but the hairline was extremely flakey and irritated. So I washed my hair and applied the Mother's Mix Oil after it was dry. It was so soothing! My scalp was not irritated and it was not flakey. While my condition is chronic, its so nice to know that the Mother's Mix Oil is something that helps without exacerbating the existing condition.
