Question:
Can anyone help with alternative methods of getting rid of head lice
from my daughters head? I have tried the chemical products sold at
chemist shops but my daughter is still suffering. Any ideas?
Answer:
I've found the condition & comb treatment to be the best.
Wet & towel dry your child's hair, put a towel round their shoulders and
smother their hair in cheap conditioner, leave for 5 minutes, this
apparently stuns lice into loosening their grip for up to 20 minutes, then
comb through the hair in sections with a very fine tooth comb starting at
the neck line. Wipe moisture from the comb with a paper tissue each time and
check the tissue for lice or eggs. Do this every other night until there are
no eggs or lice, then once a week to prevent re-infestation.
