Years ago I read in a parent book to take vaseline and rub it ON THE SCALP. This may take time bbecause you have to part the hair by strands. Take a comb and comb through the hair,( It combs real easy and makes hair shine.
This smothers the lice and eggs. They CAN’T move. Pull up in pony tail if need to leave on as long as you can. The dryer the vaseline gets the better. Rub dawn dish liqid on hair. NO WATER. Than wash hair. I have done it for years and it works. Lice like clean hair because its easy to attach to. THINK ABOUT IT. This makes sense.

My daughter got lice for the first time in her life. I noticed when I was combing her hair last night and I saw a nit, I cried cause I feel like the worst mother in the world. Don’t know how she got it, but this morning I went to Walgreens and bought that lice freeee spray. The spray doesn’t work, the comb took out some nits. I combed her hair for at least 5 hours and as she was getting ready for bed I noticed more nits… I have not seen any bugs only nits, I’m so desperate in taking her to her pediatrician and see what he recommends. I just pray to God we get rid of this problem. I might try the olive oil and vinegar. I like the tips on the coconut shampoo, definitely going to continue to have my daughter use that. Thanks for all of your remedies!!

My daughter recently got head lice about 3 weeks ago from her school mates i assume.Tried rid and olive oil i forgot about the vinegar. Gonna try the vinegar rinse on our heads tonight and Deff. going to get some tea tree oil and tea tree oil shampoos today as well i used to used tea tree shampoo and we never had them but never gave thought to that until now. Hopefully some of these things will work for us im going crazy every weekend trying to rid us of these doesnt help we are in the country laundry places are very far and we dont have a dryer at home right now

Well everyone I have 4 biracial girls with super thick long curly hair. We have been battling lice for about a year now. I have tried EVErYThing!!! Except kerosene which scares me. Yes the lice are completely immune to the chemicals in RId and Nix. Even neem didn’t work for us. Maybe dog and cat shampoo work as they are a different chemical that the Luce haven’t become immune to. There is something called a louse buster a heat appliance that kills lice without overheating the head which is dangerous. You have to go to a place where they do it. Look for it online also there are 2 different combs. Nit combs and lice combs. Lice combs are wider spaced so better for curly hair. You won’t get the nits out but you get out the lice each time they hatch. I had not heard if licefreee and we will try that. I think my kids will start wearing funky headwraps! The problem is you get so stressed and work so hard combing and washing making the kids cry and then they get it again from school. I think a spray bottle with essential oils would be good every morning before school and greased braids nay work. Don’t bother with chemicals on heads or in the home for the kids health!! Good luck and God Bless you all.

one time i was in festied , baaadly, we used ” NIX” it said it was #1 rated. I think that was the last thing we used after “RID” and it seemed to work. You’ll probably be like NO! but if you keep your hair kind of greasy i think that may help because lice cant hold on to the greasy hair. they also have a spray out for furniture and other non-washable things. we used it on my coutches in the house and after that we were fine. the little clear like nits at the live ones i think. ad the brown hard one are dead. because if you find a brown nit and you have it say on your thumb nail take your other thumb nail and press hard youll feel a crack. i also wore my hair up practically everyday. i threw away all hats combs and hair ties / clips. (dont wanna take a second chance.) ill go and look at what the household spray is , that you can also spray on your car seats!

Been dealing with this problem for awhile. Best solution so far is using extra virgin olive oil and vinegar. Mix together massage in hair and scalp- I warm mine a little in the microwave. Leave on for 15 minutes-or more if you want-then shampoo with dawn dish soap.If you have any tea tree oil add a little to the dish soap . And a metal comb to comb out nits! Don’t give up! I am currently going to try some lysol or combination alcohol/vinegar to spray around house! Just keep working on it-I read somewhere to add vinegar and tea tree oil to dawn shampoo and use for a week. Vinegar is really helping alot! I mix vinegar and a drop of olive oil together and put a few drops on my scalp between shampoos. I’m very happy so far.
