Answer 1

I have had experience in this and the RID did NOT work however I have a cheaper way. And it works..first you put your kids in the tub..take Heavy olive oil pour it over your kids heads.make sure they dont breath it in!!! This will suffocate the lil bas*****!!!

then take a plastic bag wrap it around the head then place a towel over that secure it..Leave it on overnight..the next morning rinse with DAWN this will cut the oil..then take Vinager (white) pour it over the head (this will remove the gum around the eggs) Then with heavy conditioner take a comb Lice comb or a rat tailed comb start at the base of the head and work each by inch..I know this is tiresome but you have to do it. MAKING SURE YOU WIPE THE COMB AFTER EVERY SWIPE ON A PAPER TOWEL THAT IS GOING INTO A PLASTIC BAG!! Rinse the hair..put on a leave in conditioner, blow dry the hair, and put hairspray on..Lice do not like hair with product in it this is why kids in grade school get it more then middle school or high school kids who gunk up their hair..and yes hair dye will kill the ones in your hair..but you must first do the oil vinger thing first!! This worked after 2 months of struggling!! It sounds like alot but it will work!! i will this school year put spray and blow dry my girls hair before school..(lice hate heat) But the lil boogers can hold their breath for a very long time under water this is why you cant wash them out..but oil will suffocate them just MAKE SURE YOUR KIDS HEADS ARE TILITED BACK SO THEY DONT BREATH IN THE OIL!!!! Hope this helps!!

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

My kids had the same problem and I tried everything. The only thing that seemed to work for them was a ROBI comb. You can buy them at Wal-mart and they are on the aisle with the lice shampoos. They are a little bit pricey but are so worth the money. I bought one and my kids have been lice free since. I also put a little bit of styling products(mousse, gel, or hairspray) in their hair to keep the lice from coming back. If you have product in your hair, the lice can't stick to it. Lice thrive off of clean hair so when you put product in it, it makes it very difficult for lice to cling to the hair. Good Luck!!!

Try using cooking oil and rubbing alcohol. Saturate their heads with it then take a plastic grocerey bag or shower cap and put it on and leave it on their for about 1/2 hour. This method works best if you let your children sit outside with you in the sunlight. The bugs and nits cant stand the heat nor the cooking oil and rubbing alcohol, it suffocates them. Then wash it out and blow dry, under a very good light and then you can see the nits and they should just fall right out when combing. I have also used this product that is all natural and is great for your skin and doesnt dry out the scalp like the other lice products.

Answer 6

Others have given some good advice with the mayonaise. You have to either boil all combs & brushes or throw away. Hats are a biggie too either dispose of them or bleach them. My kids had tons of stuffed animals when they were young.If the stuffed animals can't be bleached or put in hot water, you have to put them all in a bag and tie it closed tight, keep it away from other stuff for at least a month to kill any lice on them. Somebody else or some place else must be where they're picking up new adult ones who lay thousands of eggs. I feel for you and good luck.

Answer 7

The best thing to do is use a thick substance like mayo, or olive oil or heck even crisco, need to later the head in it and let it stay on for hours. Yes its a pain but I was at wits end and the doctor told me to do it and I did and it worked. This will smother them. also after a few hours comb out hair using bug comb or even your fingers. You will probably need to use dish soap to wash it out and after all the washing comb and pick more for like 48 hours straight. It was the most successful thing I did and it worked. It was messy as hellbut worked.
good luck and I feel for ya

Answer 8

you're doing the right things--just keep doing them. make sure you're treating all the surfaces of couches, etc. wash all linens. keep doing the shampoo and the combing of the hair with the nit comb. eliminate all sleepovers, etc.

hey--the little buggers are tough to get rid of. just keep doing what your doing---and no---i don't think hair dye will do anything to a head louse except change the color of its hair.

good luck---you're doing the right things!

Answer 9

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure dying your hair won't help. However a cheaper method on killing them in your hair is mayonnaise. You will still need to wash your clothes and bed clothes and spray with the lice spray. However if you have any pets, (IE. cats, dogs or even birds, they may be the reason they keep returning. you may have to have them treated as well. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 10

I think you have to change all the draperies and bed linnens, rugs etc. shave your heads and change all your towels. Use the lotion that kills them for a week and clean your house with clorox, all the time, drop some undiluted clorox on the hard floors like patios and bathroom floors.

just keep at it. ah also get new combs and brushes!
