Peppermint oil is soo refreshing. Its like that cool feeling of menthol in your mouth, but on your head. I mix rosemary and peppermint and rinse it at the end of my shower. I dont go back under the shower, I leave it on the hair and scalp. I have just started adding apricot kernel oil too, but that is still an experiment.
To half a gallon I add about 5 drops Rosemary and 10 of peppermint, and as splash of apricot. Keep your eyes shut, peppermint is strong.
I also use bucks county dreadlockshampoo, I recommend that too.
I really hope it gets better for you
peace and blessings.

my wife has a very dry scalp also and i like to use some olive oil. i use a bottle pourer from a bar, and put it directly on the scalp, then rub it in with my fingertips. she loves it.

Tea tree can be drying...so you may want to skip it for a while. A bit off subject here but... I put a few drops of tea tree on my palm, rub my hands together, then run my hands over thelengthof my dreads. I do not do this for actual hair care. I do it because it repels (not kills) lice. I only do this if i am going near children or somewhere in public where i have to sit in a chair, like a doctors office or a movie theater. Lice are easy to catch hard to notice and a pain to get rid of. With the way you described your scalp...i would suggest checking for lice again.
