Greetings,
Tea Tree oil may be an adjuvant for helping in dandruff treatment. However, you need something that is more lasting and reduces fungal colonisation of the scalp oil glands - therefore you must use an anti fungal based shampoo. See a qualified dermatologist near you. If severe dandruff and if the scales are thick - you may need other tar based shampoos , etc apart from oral medications. Hope this helps. Warm regards
