This is prevention:

Prevent Lice Naturally - More Than Home Remedies
Every child in school or daycare needs lice prevention. If it's too late and your child has lice, we've also got lice cures. All the natural way. No one wants to ever think about lice. But, even the cleanest child can bring them home. School, the playground, parties, and daycare are just a few of the places where a child can get lice.

Learn the natural ways to get rid of lice. AND, more importantly, the natural way to prevent a lice infestation from occurring! Now you can keep lice away, repel lice, prevent lice - safely and naturally.

This is a natural formula that actually keeps lice away and drives them away if they get in your child's hair. We have also listed many pieces of prevention information that every parent and teacher should read.

Combs and Brushes
The first order of business is that each person in the household has their own comb or brush. If one of you gets lice, there is a good chance that the others will not if they are not sharing combs or brushes. Your child must learn that they may not share a comb or brush at school or in the neighborhood.
Clothes, Hats, Etc.
Your child must also be taught that they can never wear anyone else’s jackets, sweaters, barrettes, hats, helmets, etc., and that no one else may wear their things. If someone at school puts your child’s hat on, your child must know to not put the hat on but instead bring it home for washing or bagging. Hats, sweaters and jackets must be kept isolated at school when your child is not wearing them. These items should go into a zipped up backpack or deep into their own "cubby." If all of the coats in the classroom are touching each other while hanging on a rack or hangers, lice could be marching from one to the next. It is a game of Russian roulette as to who would be the next child to bring the lice home - if not all of the children.

The Playground
Keep your child out of the sandbox - or at least keep your child's hair out of the sand (and the sand out of your child's hair). If a child with lice puts his head in the sand, some lice could stay in the sand. Lice can stay alive for 24 hours or so, which is time enough to infect lots of heads when kids pour sand over each other. We have found that the kids who are always playing in the sand are also the first ones to be sent home with lice in every outbreak.

Shampoos and Conditioners
One of the best things to use to prevent lice is the right shampoo. Coconut oil and olive oil contain fatty acids that break down the bodies (exoskeletons) of the lice and kill them. Try Heritage Hypoallergenic Olive Oil Shampoo, Oliva Olive & Aloe Conditioner, Home Health Oliva Shampoo with olive oil, Clean - Virgin Coconut Milk Shampoo, Rainwater Henna Shampoo (enhances natural highlights) with coconut oil, or Rainwater Baby Shampoo with coconut oil - just to name a few from MotherNature.com (they have even more to choose from).

Some shampoos and conditioners contain tea tree oil, peppermint or eucalyptus oil, lavender oil, and rosemary oil (and lice hate the smell so they stay away!). All with tea tree oil also relieve dandruff and cradle cap. These include California Baby Shampoo & Body Wash (tearless) with tea tree oil and lavender, Jason Natural Cosmetics Tea Tree Oil Hair & Scalp Therapy Shampoo and Jason Natural Cosmetics Tea Tree Oil Hair & Scalp Therapy Conditioner. Shampoos and conditioners that contain tea tree oil are also great for use after a lice infestation because it heals and soothes all of those little bites and sore skin from scratching.

This is cure:

Lice can be killed quickly, easily, cheaply and safely with mayonnaise. Simply get a new jar of mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip) from your kitchen shelf or at the grocery store. (Don’t grab one from the refrigerator, as it will be way too cold.) Grab a handful (or several) and cover all of you child’s hair, being sure to get behind the ears and down the neck a little. You can cover this with a plastic shower cap to keep the mayonnaise from dripping or getting onto your furniture. Leave the mayonnaise on for two hours to smother the lice and developed eggs. Then, remove the shower cap and throw it away, both of you wash your hands good with soap, and shampoo the hair thoroughly. It may take two or more shampoos to get the hair clean.

You can use Vaseline if you don't have any mayonnaise. The only way to remove Vaseline from hair is to saturate the hair in baby oil, rub in through the hair completely, then squeeze out as much as you can. Then wash the hair three times with Dawn dish soap and hot water (not hot enough to burn!), each time leaving the dish soap on for a few minutes to allow it to work.

Vaseline can be left on overnight if you wish, but this is not safe with mayonnaise because it turns poisonous when it is not refrigerated. Your child may scratch his head while sleeping and then put his fingers in his mouth.

If you don’t trust the mayonnaise or Vaseline to smother the lice, you can make a natural lice shampoo to kill the lice but not poison your child. To a base of five teaspoons of Pure Olive Carrier Oil (or Pure Coconut Carrier Oil), add five drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil, five drops of Rosemary Essential Oil, five drops of Lavender Essential Oil, five drops of Peppermint Essential Oil, and five drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil. Add a small amount of regular shampoo to the mixture, and put this all over the hair - all the way to the edges. Leave this on for an hour under a towel or tight-fitting shower cap to prevent drips. Rinse the hair, and shampoo the hair. (Olive oil and coconut oil kill lice by "dissolving" their exoskeletons, and other oils will not have the same effect.)

This should be helpful. The mayonnaise and vasoline seem like they would work, and they are natural. Good luck!
