I have also tried using mayo cuz I was told that would work. All that did was make everything greasy.How do you get rid of lice? If you keep using the shampoo %26amp; conditioner %26amp; the spray %26amp; dry everything.?
ricanbronxbomb is right... vinegar does work.
But as long as you miss drowning or combing out one tiny little egg (nit) it will hatch and the whole cycle starts over again.
Hair conditioner will work to stun the lice, so that they can be combed out, but then you need to use a nit comb and your fingernails to remove every little egg. Have a friend help you.
Ask your pharmacist about tar soaps, as that's what I use when the infestation gets bad ( I'm a Family Daycare Provider and some parents just don't check like they should) Hairspray will also ';trap'; the little bustards, thereby killing them. Mousses or gels work well to keep them from travelling.
I found out that Lice seem to ';like'; children's shampoo's and conditioners, so try and stay away from any of the fruity smelling ones - and use one that's made for Psoriasis and Excema.
You can actually wash in any temperature (if you don't have access to hot) , but then everything must be hung outside to dry - and left for at least 2 days. Lice can't survive without a human host for more than 48 hours, so even outside airing of clothes or blankets for a few days will allow them to die off.
I hang things first, and then wash and re-hang.
I hope some of this helped.... Good luck.How do you get rid of lice? If you keep using the shampoo %26amp; conditioner %26amp; the spray %26amp; dry everything.?
Use the shampoo, wash and dry everything in a HOT dryer. Use the shampoo again 7 days later. In between the first and second application, use tea tree oil and let it sit in your hair for 10 minutes, then wash with tea tree shampoo. Not sure why, but they hate it. Good luck. :)
ok, you are going to buy a gallon of vinegar, drown hair in it, making sure the scalp is wet. Put plastic cap on for about 45minutes, rinse thoroughly and then wash with lice shampoo. The vinegar dissolves the natural adhesive of the eggs to the hair. the shampoo kilss the live ones. Good luck.
Go to the pharmacy and buy a bottle of Rid. Be sure to wash all bedding and follow the instructions on the Rid bottle. Or go to a doctor and get a prescription shampoo for lice.
Head lice...yuk! Not only are they un-sightly they are dangerous.
Lice are parasites...that means they BITE just like mosquitoes. And when thy bite [to suck your blood] they first 'spit' stuff into your skin to make the blood thinner so they can suck it out....ewwwwYuk!
So you can get infections, sores, scabs...not a good thing.
Prevention: Never ever share anything someone has used on their head...hat, hoodie, comb, brush, anything. Don't sleep on bed linens were infected people have slept. [ One good reason to shampoo everyday if you stay at a hotel..preferably first thing in the morning]
If you ever get head lice, you can't just stop at treating your head...you must treat everything your head has touched or they will come back. And running things through the dryer won't do it, lice can tolerate the heat. To get it hot enough to kill the lice would distroy your clothing.
The only thing that has ever work for us, our kids came home with head lice they got at school...a common place for the infestation to start. They only thing that really worked was Licex a non-chemical natural product. You can lean more about it hear.

They say that between 10-12 million children get infected with lice every year!
Our two daughters came home with lice. We found really good information and were able to get rid of them right away. Several of our friends kids got them too. So we sent them to this site.
