Best Head Lice Home Remedies Today
I recall when my son complained of an itchy head, and after a quick investigation, the dreaded head lice and nits (their eggs) were discovered.
Feeling smarter, I was ready for the next battle with the pesky lice when they decided to take up residence in my daughters hair about a year later.
Oil treatments were to be the weapon of choice this time. I had done my research and short listed Olive and tea tree oils, petroleum jelly and mayonnaise.
Head lice home remedies,
If it worked it would be cheap and non toxic, but would this compensate for the greasy mess and my daughters night of discomfort?
Back to the internet for instructions.
Other than the oil, petroleum jelly or mayonnaise, I found that I would need plastic food wrap, a towel, a wide toothed comb, a shower cap and a bowl for mixing.
I note that others have had problems getting their children to accept this type of oil treatment and see that it is recommended to tell the girl that its really a beauty treatment used by fashion modelssure!
First thing is to select your weapon. Users say that Olive oil may be the easiest to shampoo out afterwards, but it is more difficult to apply and keep in place.
The method appears to involve placing a towel over the girls shoulders and applying copious quantities of the oil, jelly or mayonnaise to the childrens hair and scalp. If the hair is long, it should be piled high and wrapped in the plastic before covering the lot in a shower cap.
You may have guessed it, my daughter has bolted from the room long before I have had a chance to try my new method and to think people still ask me where I got the motivation to invent the natural head lice treatment that I have been making now for nearly three years.
