Back to school Headlice treatments

Conditioner trick only works for a little while .  . SHAVING heads is no cure as if crabs can go you know weher then so can nits . . .  I use MOOV and then change over each time . . NEver repeat the same brand until i've run out. . . and i always tie up my girls hair. . . !!!!

I have a friend with 6 kids and she shaved the lot of em . . . didn't work . .

IF YA GOING TO DE-LICE then you HAVE TO TREAT THE BEDDING. TOWELS. BRUSHES . . . everything!!!

Will try this method also when my daughter gets headlice. thankyou.

Conditioner and lice comb.  Copying from an advice I wrote about it...

Head lice

This very annoying little insect poses no health risk, but it is extremely irritating and itchy.  They can not fly or jump, but rather spread from head to head by climbing from one hair to another.  Children tend to play close together and brush heads in doing so.  The lice quickly crawl from one head to the other, and even use the strands of hair like swinging vines to move around.  Children then hug their loving parents, and the lice again go on the move and invade yet another head.  Before anyone realizes it, every member of the family and half your friends and neighbours have lice.

The good news is that lice can not survive off of the human head.  In theory, if everyone on the planet was vigilant about getting rid of lice, they would become extinct.  So we don't have to panic and frantically wash and clean every bed sheet and pillow, vaccuum every nook and crany, and generally run ourselves ragged cleaning to get rid of them.  All we have to do is get them out of our hair.  There are many expensive harsh chemical treatments for lice removal, however, many are loosing their effectiveness as lice are becoming more resiliant to them.  Also, there is the risk of allergic reaction; not to mention, do we really want to be soaking our children's heads in insecticide?

The easiest, safest, and most effective way to get rid of lice is with a large cheap bottle of hair conditioner, clean water, a hair brush, and a good quality lice comb - the metal toothed ones are the best.  Brush all the tangles out of the hair.  Apply heaps of the conditioner to dry hair until it is totally drenched and dripping.  This will stun the lice for approximately 20 minutes and they can't move around.  You want to work quickly from this point as you don't want the little sods waking up and crawling around if you haven't finished within that 20 minute window.  Quickly brush the tangles out from the hair again with the hairbrush.  Starting at the hair line, separate a small section of hair and run the lice comb through to the end of the hair, starting at the scalp.  Keep the hair that has been combed through seperate from the rest of the hair.  Rinse off the lice comb to remove any lice and nits (eggs).  Separate another piece of hair and repeat this process, until all the hair has been combed thoroughly.  If necessary, add extra conditioner as you go, but keep in mind that more conditioner doesn't mean that you get extra time to do this.  Rinse the hair with clean water.  Clean the brushes and combs thoroughly before using them again.  If any lice were missed, repeat the process once the hair is properly dry.
