Unfortunatly we hadn't had problems with it at our school for a couple years so we stopped using it......BIG MISTAKE!!! And now my 10 year old can't get rid of it so we are gonna try Jules remidy.....hope it works cause we have been dealing with it for almost a month now :-( Think they are getting it from their cousins.....sadness.

I notified the school 3 times and spoke to many staff members. No letters were sent out, no inspections, NOTHING!!!!! Now my godson had to get his hair cut off short and wala nomore headlice. Unfortunately for my daughter who has thick hair down to her lower back along with dry scalp, I was braiding her hair and the lice again. Keep in mind that I had to use the both bottles that come with the kit at one time and that stuff is expensive As well as treat my hair as well as buy the leave in conditioner/repelent spray I bought, then I combed and combed and washed the hole houses pillows, blanket, sheets and clothes and followed up. I am at my wits end with this. My daughter had lice about 5 years ago and her hair was shorter but I got rid of it. This time I cant and I am about to cut her hair but her father loves long hair and is against it but I dont see him doin all of this. I am very frustrated at this point. The school is making me upset because I am puttin out all this money and doing my part but they are not doing theirs So I am contacting the School District. I am going insane!!! What can I do to get this out??? A MOM IN NEED OF HELP!!!!!!! I recently discovered that 10 year old My Daughter and 11 year old Godson have Headlice 2 weeks ago.

My girls all had beautiful THICK LONG hair and once we got lice, it was literally impossible to get rid of using store remedies, and very costly. So my grandma gave me this and we used it and never went back. We only had a few bouts with this problem but this has REALLY not let us down. You take a bottle of hair conditioner and a bottle of nail polish remover, mix half and half but if you are dealing with a younger child I suggest making the ratio a bit less on the nail polish remover as this recipe is VERY strong!!! My girls were older so we did well with it. Mix the two VERY well and soak into dry hair as much as possible. try to saturate down to the roots then quickly put the hair on top of the head and cover with a plastic shower cap. Try to keep it on at least 30 minutes if not longer. This recipe kills the live lice pretty quickly but if you leave it in long enough it will kills the eggs also as well as help release them from the strands of hair. once you have let it sit long enough, take a metal lice comb and just COMB, COMB, COMB!!! Run it through the hair until you quit pulling the lice, and eggs out, then rinse THOROUGHLY! Lice cannot live off hair fro more than twenty four hours so swap out any and ALL pillows, cases, blankets and sheets for at least 48 hours. I always made my girls sleep in a different spot int he house for two nights while washing everything. We treated five days after the first treatment just in case any eggs slipped by and hatched and we were home free from there. it is definitely an aggressive approach but well worth it! We have had to do this twice in ten years and it worked both times like a charm. good luck!

I was trying to find other ways on how 2 get rid of lice. Yea the shampoo works but it gets costly having to do it twice most the time and I always do mine when she gets it so we en up spending no less then 60 dollars on the shampoo and spray. So we tried the mixing vinegar & cooking oil half & half and wrapping the hair up in plastic wrap or a shower cap but the plastic wrap seems 2 be tighter so we did that. Left it in for an hour, combed it out and only had to do that one time. We still would comb threw her hair every night just to be safe using conditioner and she was lice, egg & nit free. Hope this helps. Be careful with the vinegar tho cuz if to much gets on her skin it turns her real red so be careful on younger kids. Hey my niece is 9yrs old and every year she ends up getting lice.

Use lice shampoo. Pull all the nits out of the hair by hand, yes it may take hours. Once the hair is lice and nit free you can deter other lice by using hair spray, it messes up thier ability to get on your hair lay eggs. You can also put baby oil and a shower cap on, it smothers them and prevent eggs from attaching. The whole house needs to be vacuumed and steam cleaned if possible. All bedding & pillows needs to be washed on hot. Stuffed animals need to be washed on hot. You may also put items in a plastic bag and freeze them. Best of luck. I know familes that have spent over $1,000 to get rid of lice. Soak hair with vinager, it breaks down the glue that holds the nits on. Use lice shampoo.
