Tea tree oil for dandruff

My husband has a very dry scalp. In fact, he often resembles the people in dandruff commercials, he has so much of the gunk on his shirts. He works in a factory where the air is dry and the chemicals in the air suck moisture out of skin in a hurry.
Currently, I have him using a shampoo with rosemary and mint in it, which helps a bit. I heard somewhere that tea tree oil can help with dry scalp, so I purchased some as an essential oil.
How many drops per ounce do I need to add to his shampoo bottle? I know that essential oils can burn if in too high a concentration, so I want to be careful. Also, would using a conditioner help at all, or is that mainly for dry hair?
