Short of shaving the head and burning down the house, here's what you can do... I did it before and the lice were gone completely :)
Buy couple of onions in any store. Peal it from the brown layers. Cut one into manegable pieces and squize it into a juice and damp the hair with it--the roots of the hairs. Wear a shower cap for about 15 to 25 minutes and then wash the hair with warm (not too hot and not too cold) water, like you would normally BUT do not use shampoo. Using shampoo might irritate the skin and won't get rid of lice (depending on a cituation). Just don't get the onion in her eyes, it'll be uncomfortable and it might sting. Don't worry, the hair won't smell of onion, it will have a scent of freshly washed hair... IF lice won't go away, do it for about a week (7 days). Lice hate the scent of onion, but it's alright to humans.

You need the special shampoo, plus the spray for your bed and couches and carpets basically everything you touch. ALL you bedding and clothes have to be washed in Hot water. Then if there are any stuffed animals, you have to bag them all up for about two weeks. It's all a mess. Then you have to throw away your vacuum bag. It might take up to 3 washes before they are gone.
I work in a daycare and lice doesn't happen very often their but when it does a parent has the hardest time to get rid of them.
You might be getting rid of them but the place where she is contracting them may be not getting rid of them. Find the source.

Bleach all bedding and clothes to kill the lice, use a lice shampoo all over your bodies (you have hair on other places than just your head). Clean your house with bleach products and vacuum all furniture, immediately throw out the vacuum bag.

Any lice ridding shampoo works. You must have eggs in the bedding and the room. Clean both thoroughly and then use the shampoo again.
