Yes I'm only using it 1-2 times a week and only wash my hair 3 times a week. I'm careful about not over using or over washing it's not good for our scalp.

I actually haven’t tried that version personally… occupational hazard of having my own shampoo 😅
But generally speaking, tea tree oil is perfectly fine when it stays in the sensible range — usually around 0.1% to 0.5% in scalp products. That’s where you get the benefits. And honestly, regardless of the added tea tree, Nizoral⁠ is still something I’d personally keep to around 2–3 times per week max.

Yohanmaetinez- so so you feel NiZoral with the tea tree and mint has a good concentration and not too much? Probably best not to use at every wash

Thanks for your I put. Yes I'm finding Nizoral to be a bit drying and needing to use a food conditioner afterwards. I also use leave in conditioner spray. I
don't use Nizoral with every wash. I use it every other for the past 3-4 weeks and wash my hair every other day so maybe twice a week. Am going to try to back down to once a week. I'm going to see what my dermatologist says. I'm using the one with tra tree and mint. I was wondering if it makes ght be more irritating with the extra ingredients. I got it because I work with kids and extra protection against lice which I got twice the past. Couple years. Don't want it again. I also thought maybe it would be more nourishing. Looks like everyone is different. I also would like to see what others have to add.

It’s honestly kind of funny watching the big mainstream brands slowly “discover” natural ingredients now 😅 You can already see brands like Nizoral⁠ and Head & Shoulders⁠ subtly moving toward more botanical-friendly formulas and scalp barrier language after years of the “strip everything aggressively” era.
Turns out people don’t actually want their scalp feeling like a squeaky-clean kitchen floor.
Tea tree oil itself is not the villain at all. It’s very safe and genuinely helpful at the right concentration. The issue is when people go full chemistry experiment mode and apply it pure directly onto inflamed skin. That’s basically asking your scalp to file a complaint.
And with mint, the beneficial version is really peppermint oil specifically. Proper peppermint oil can feel cooling and soothing. Random “minty” ingredients or overloaded menthol formulas can sometimes just make your scalp feel like it lost a fight with toothpaste.
