As I Am Olive & Tea Tree Oil Co-Wash for Dry and Itchy Scalp 454 G
A scalp that itches between wash days is usually dry rather than dirty, and washing it harder makes the dryness worse. That is the loop this co-wash is aimed at breaking.
Olive oil and tea tree oil are the pairing. Olive oil softens and holds moisture at the scalp, tea tree brings the cool, clean feel that makes an uncomfortable scalp easier to live with while you wash. There is no sulfate in it, so the cleanse happens without the tightness afterwards.
- Cleanses the scalp without stripping it dry
- Leaves a dry, itchy scalp feeling soothed and comfortable
- Spreads evenly from the roots through the lengths
- 454 g size, for regular use in a low-manipulation routine
Get it onto the scalp itself, in sections, and massage with the pads of your fingers. Most people apply co-wash to the hair and then wonder why the scalp still itches.
If the scalp is sore, broken or flaking persistently, see a pharmacist rather than switching shampoo again.

Application tips
Saturate hair completely, then apply a generous handful directly at the scalp and massage with fingertips for two minutes. It will not foam, and that is normal for a co-wash.
Pull the rest through the lengths and detangle with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb while it sits. Rinse thoroughly, twice if your hair feels coated. Suits a weekly wash on hair that dries out fast.
Results
The scalp comes out feeling cool and clean rather than stripped, and the dry, tight sensation eases off.
Hair stays soft through the rinse, so detangling happens in the shower instead of afterwards. Loose flakes lift away with the wash. Curls dry with their shape intact and enough moisture to get through several days before anything needs adding.
