There are two options here.You could lather the hair and scalp with olive oil and cover with a shower cap.A plastic grocery sack would work just as well.Let this remain on the head for 2-4 hours.Remove shower cap or plastic bag.Wash out the oil.Now washing out the oil will take a few washes.
The other option is washing with Denorex.Apply the shampoo to the hair and scalp,and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.This is known to kill the lice,but it is also said that it does not kill all of them. - 2
The most effective way to break the lice life cycle is to remove all the nits.You must comb them all out.Nits can be very hard to see.The nits are oval shaped and close to an biege color.Normally they very close to the scalp,although there have been cases where they are halfway down the hair shaft.To comb these out,you need a fine tooth comb.The best nit-comb on the market is the NitFree Terminator. - 3). Part the hair into small sections,combing one section at a time.Continue with this until all sections are combed and no nits are remaining.This step has been known to take hours,but if you choose to purchase this terminator comb,you will cut the time in half.
- 4). Now it is time to clean house!Wash all your clothes,sheets,combs,and brushes.PLace toys in a plastic bag for at least two weeks.
- 5). Repeat all the steps in 7-10 days.
