Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
I understand from dry scalp you mean flaky dandruff prone scalp.
If that's the case, you may use a ketoconazole ZPTO based shampoo. Now a days most of these medicated shampoos come with added hair conditioners and hence would not make hair dry.

If you specifically want tea tree oil shampoo, then you may buy the body shop's tea tree oil shampoo.

Hope this helped. Should there be any other query, please write back.
Take care.
