Head Lice Posted: 10-09-03 14:16pm
Hi,
i'm a mom of two teenagers who just came
home from school with head lice. They go
to a private highschool and they are both
covered with it. Is there anything
natural I can put in their heads that will
take care of this, besides the pesticide
shampoos available. I'm thinking some
kind of oils or any other treatments.
Please let me know, i'm desperate.
Thks.

Another guy in here said if you put mayo
in their hair and run it through with a
fine comb to take it out. That it would
help. Wash their pillows and blankets,
sweaters, anything that comes in contact
with their head.

Once you use the shampoo without response
try using tea tree oil or also what really
works well for doing your own hair is good
old mayonaise, don't laugh it really works
well - just slather it on throughout your
head and scalp then comb it with the fine
steel comb through your hair rinsing the
comb and drying/tapping the water out of
it with each comb through.
The ridding process is long but it works
very well.
You must do not only your head but you
must wash all bedding, any areas of
furniture that you lay your heads, the
back rest of your cars, basically any
where you place your head but also any
combs, brushes, hair rollers, curling
irons, barrets, hair elastics etc...It's
not a nice thing to get head lice and
harder to get rid of. But once you have
the routine down it becomes a science to
rid yourself of these pesky things.
Good luck, I help my girlfriend with her
kids all the time.
