Headlice Treatment in general

this is a subject i seem to know more about than i really want to but it has plauged me for about 6 years now since my daughter started nursery aged 4! My daughter is mixed race and has really thick,curly hair which head lice seem to love and over the years i have tried everything on the market to get rid of them-finally stumbled on a really simple solution. First of all let me say there are loads of treatments available and they may be reall y effective for some children-i tried every lotion,cream and solution but not only was they not effective long term,i didnt like the idea of putting loads of chemicals on her hair every week which was what i was doing! i even had my ...  Read the complete review

One of the hazards of my job is that I am prone to headlice infestation. I have had it several times and have only used chemical treatment once. I don't make any medical claims but this works for me. Even though I am an adult, nits/lice love my hair: 1. Wash your hair thoroughly, massaging the roots well. I have done this with Tea Tree shampoo, but I am not sure that this worked any better than normal shampoo (it seemed to, but I couldn't swear to it) - I didn't really do a 'fair test'. What it did do is make my scalp feel very pleasant. 2. Whack in loads of conditioner - use one for dry hair which is thicker and more oily. ...  Read the complete review

For years I had heard other parents discussing the many unpleasant virtues of head lice. Indeed going back to my childhood, I can vividly remember the regular visits of the ‘nit nurses’ to our local school. Luckily, they never seemed to like to accommodate themselves in my scalp, so I never even knew what one looked like. My problems with head lice began when my daughter began nursery school a couple of years ago. One evening I was blow drying her hair ready for bed, when horror struck me. Okay, I admit that sounds a bit dramatic, but it was a shock all the same. As I have already explained I had never seen these little creatures before, but I ...  Read the complete review

Every parent will understand the dreaded thought of Nits!!! You feel embarassed and think that your child is the only one. Well think again around "half a million" children are infected with head lice each year and most children will get head lice at some point. Head lice can not jump or fly they pass from head to head by prolonged contact. They are not fussy on hair type, the myth that they only like clean hair is not true. Clean, dirty, short, long, straight, curly it makes no difference. Fortunately we can treat head lice in many effective ways and more importantly in natural ways too. As the scare of potent lotions and shampoos made ...  Read the complete review

Believe it or not, what I regularly use on my daughters hair is nothing more than conditioner and a nit comb. The conditioner seems to loosen them off, makes them visible and also stops the comb damaging the hair. I then rinse it off when finished. I don't like to use all the chemicals, as my daughter is asthmatic, but find if done thoroughly it clears them away, plus the fact the conditioner is thoroughly combed through the hair makes it really shine. Give it a go its less harmful to your child and as effective as any treatment I've used. ...  Read the complete review
