I have given up on using the treatments and every time we have a break out I mix up my own batch of 3TBSP olive oil, 5 TBSP Eucalyptus oil and 3 TBSP Tea Tree Oil and then I sit in the sun with the affected (afflicted) one and slowly cover the hair from root to tip in the oil mixture. I then take a lice comb and go methodically through the hair, pulling out the nits. The lice come out dead as door posts and the nits slide beautifully off the hair. It takes about 20 minutes and is really not at all painful. So far I have not had an immediate repeat outbreak with this method. It's cheap and easy and I have tossed all the chemical remedies!!Justine Saidmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-11064363976446783042013-04-12T13:48:27.342+10:002013-04-12T13:48:27.342+10:00oh and forgive me for any spelling mistakes, im sl...oh and forgive me for any spelling mistakes, im sleep deprived because of a 2 week old baby in the house!Lynettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-35380069990590845942013-04-12T13:47:36.858+10:002013-04-12T13:47:36.858+10:00something that has helped me trmendously, after yo...something that has helped me trmendously, after you get rid of the little buggers, use natural lavender shampoo and conditioner ( you can get it from lavender farms) i was advised this by someone and it works! nits hate lavender and have been completely nit free since!Lynettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-16285521827539419102013-04-11T16:42:39.173+10:002013-04-11T16:42:39.173+10:00Oh I'm in stitches!

Its not like we were too poor to afford them (nobody is) but its just that I never got any. I really, really wanted that day off school. I think now, if I had kids, and they brought home lice, I'd turn into a homicidal maniac. So really, you're doing well just by weeping into your wine glass (the one you don't even have time to fill). I have absolutely no advice (yay!) on head lice so I will just say, good luck.Starry Rastonhttp://www.facebook.com/Starzyianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-34389839804724204902013-04-04T18:29:45.049+11:002013-04-04T18:29:45.049+11:00Right.

Do that with the lice combing, see if it works.<br />Or shave their heads. <br />My entire family, parents, siblings, children, never had lice, but when my daughter moved into the hills area, her two had lice every autumn for three years. <br /><br />The tea tree oil treatment doesn't get rid of them, but once the lice are gone it should keep them away, as it did for E and S, if it is used every single day from then on.

Not sure what was the final cure, but the whole school got treated on the same day, plus She tinted her hair. Yup I know I copped a lot of flack for letting my daughter in year six tint her hair. But another parent recommended it and after four years of treatment every Sunday, conditioner every second day, plus don't forget you have to wash all of the bedding, I was like fuck it she can have green hair if it works. Tinted Tamika's hair and she never got lice again. Moral of the story, stick your kids hair in bleach, then go to their school and do it to every other child!<br /><br />http://iliska-dreams.blogspot.com.au/Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-10360806615945650382013-04-04T15:05:47.295+11:002013-04-04T15:05:47.295+11:00Hi Kerry,

They are near to impossible to get rid off and seem to love clean hair more than dirty.<br /><br />So here's an idea ... don't wash their hair or perhaps shave it off lol.<br /><br />I am blogging world virgin but am enjoying it thuse far.Yobial Marinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-56395998321242350712013-04-04T13:24:23.040+11:002013-04-04T13:24:23.040+11:00Good friends of ours with gorgeous hair gave me th...Good friends of ours with gorgeous hair gave me the tip of never using shampoo on our babies from the start. I was SO glad that I did. Just washing their hair with water gives beautiful results as their hair has never been stripped of its natural oils. As a plus, they have retained the lovely baby-head smell! And - never any lice. Very hard to go from shampoo'd from the beginning back to hair 'au naturale' however.Vikki Kayhttp://www.facebook.com/vikki.kay.3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-43755394310938318012013-04-04T12:36:48.846+11:002013-04-04T12:36:48.846+11:00Don't despair, Kerri!
