Answer 1

Condition the hair, comb through with a nit comb (verythin spaced comb) and then wash the hair. Repeat every night. This is the only way to do it without chemicals.

Answer 2

If you don't want to use a chemical on your child's head, the most effective treatment that doesn't involve using any products at all simply involves removing the nits and live lice with a lice comb and/or tweezers. This is the method that is advocated by The National Pediculosis Association. It can be time consuming to do this and you may have to repeat the procedure for several days to make sure you get them all, but this is likely the best thing to do. You still have to take the time to comb out all of the nits anyway even if you use an anti-lice shampoo, as these shampoos don't kill the eggs. If you don't, they will just hatch and you will have live lice again.
Most other natural home remedies involve putting something on your child's scalp and hair to 'smother' the head lice. Popular choices include real mayonnaise, olive oil, and vaseline. These are usually left on overnight, often under a shower cap, and then washed out the next day. They can be very messy though and have not really been proven to work. Some experts believe that this method 'works' because you actually remove the nits and lice as you try to get this stuff out of the child's hair.

There are also herbal remedies to treat head lice, including products with tea tree oil and other essential oils. Because they are 'natural,' these are not regulated by the FDA, have not been proven to work, and should be used with caution and avoided in younger children.

Answer 3

Search for head lice when hair is wet. Use a fine-toothed comb (or a louse comb), clear tape (to stick on hair to pick up nits), a magnifying glass, and a strong light.


Wet combing should be done every 2-3 days over a 2-week period, with small sections of hair, working out from the scalp. Some call this "bug busting," and it can be very effective.


If lice are found, treat with an anti-lice agent and repeat in 7-10 days to kill newly hatched nits.

Answer 5

You can buy RID over the counter i believe...least that was the case when I was younger. I used to get it all the time when i was younger, my mom would check me before school, and i'd come home full of it. she finally pulled me outta school the last 4 months when I was younger cause she was tired of dealing with it. I know that you need to wash EVERYTHING, put all stuffed animals in a plastic bag or throw them out. it's no fun.

Answer 6

I don't know about home remedies, but I think you can buy lice medication from the doctors office or from pharmacies as long as you have a prescription.
