My daughter had head lice just after she turned 3. She is now 4. I
do not have the patience to pick nits out of her hair. That is wasted
time. She could not go back to daycare till all of those little eggs
were out of her hair.
After trying several things, store bought and suggestions, I went to
Google and searched. I found what worked. First wash her hair with
Coal Tar, that is what is in Dandruff Shampoo. I used Nuetrogena.
Then you place a plastic bag over her shoulders (it will burn the
skin) and pour vinegar over her hair. Cake it on. Use the whole
bottle get it through her hair thouroughly. Then get a big bottle of
coke, not the cheap stuff the real coke and pour that over her head
thouroughly. make sure that no part of her head or hair has not been
treated.
the shampoo kills the lice. the vinegar and coke removes the eggs.
well hey if coke will clean your car battery why not lice eggs. then
treat her hair with the tea tree oil, lice don’t like that. if you
want wash her hair every other day with the dandruff shampoo. i
washed my daughters hair with regular shampoo to clean it, then washed
it with the dandruff shampoo so i wouldn’t use so much. then i would
condition it with a sweet smelling conditioner.
my daughter had a whole bunch of nits in her hair. i did just what i
wrote and i found 1 nit in her hair. That was it. No picking, or
trying to comb those little suckers out of her hair. They were just
gone!!! pretty good i would say.
i check her hair everyday to every other day when i brush it for those
stupid things. i still treat her at times with the nuetrogena and the
tea tree oil, just so i don’t have those buggers in my house or her
head ever again!!!!!
good luck!!!
