I've been hearing about new products that are similar to blowdryers that basically dry the lice and their eggs out. Basically heat her scalp and hair up and pick out all the dead lice.

It's not going to be easy. First treat the girl. Get some stuff from the pharmacy or your doctor. Before she goes to sleep or even comes in the house, let her stay with a baby sitter at some relatives house, not a friend (later)
Make sure she's had the treatment using clean or new brushes, combs, toss out the old ones. Get rid of all her berets, binders etc. everything. Cleanup time.
Wash all her her clothes, pillow cases, etc, all her coats, hats, everything she wears, wash in hot water,
You take a treatment, yes, you, the other kids, and their linens.
Your daughter will have to stop seeing some of her friends or tell their parents, fight time of course, they;ll blame you etc. back and forth.
Clean, wash the carpets in her room at least. Have you ever seen one of these monsters, under a microscope, no of course not. They are as evil looking as death itself, you'd clean good if you saw one.
That's what you have to do Honey, clean, wash with hot water good, inform friends, relatives, ets. Start over. If she has real long hair, cut it short, that will help greatly but, do it yourself and watch for it, it has eggs glued to the hair that can spread. Good luck.

treat using the products as directed and be sure to pic out the nits by hand, then retreat a week later again get any nits you missed. once you start treatments to help keep from reinfesting use tea tree oil shampoo daily. Make sure you dry or freeze all stuffed items or dolls(yes barbie too). do these things at a very high temp for at least and hour or lezve them out over night in a heavy frost, do it a couple times to be safe. Good luck, I hated dealing with it but you can get rid of it, make sure its not coming from a griends poorly treated home as well so you can limit your child being there,

make sure you sterilize all bedding, pillows, stuffed animals, coats, hats, and the inside of your car. if your daughter is in daycare, make sure they are sterilizing the cots. my older girls had a bad case of lice from a daycare that was not cleaning the cots. i tried not to use rid because that gets into the blood stream. i used to cut off each indivual hair with the nits. took hours, but worked. after you do this, pull her hair into a pony tail or bun and spray heavily with hair spray...acts like a shield. people will say this does not work, but this worked for me...i heaped mayonaise on my daughters heads, put on shower caps, left them on for 90 minutes, and the lice were smothered. good luck...ohhh, make sure you are also getting the hair on the nape of her neck!!!
mighty1620...i swore if my daughters were sons...i would have shaved their heads!!!!
