how do i remove lice and lits from my hair?i have tried many things but nothing has worked out?

Answer 1

first of all its lice and Nits
seconly heres how
1. Work under a good light, such as a lamp or the natural sunlight from sitting by a window or going outdoors.

2. Use a grooming comb or hairbrush to remove tangles then divide the hair in sections and fasten off the hair that is not being worked on.

3. Use the LiceMeister® comb to detect the presence of lice and nits.

4. Using the LiceMeister® comb, go through the section from the scalp to the end of the hair. You can dip the comb into a cup of water, use a paper towel, or use the LiceMeister® comb cleaning device to remove any lice, nits or debris from the comb between passings.

5. Look through that same section of hair for attached nits (lice eggs) and live lice. Nits are always oval-shaped. While usually grayish-white they can vary in color. Viable nits are generally laid close to the scalp but can be found anywhere on the hair shaft.

6. Remember, all lice-killing products are pesticides. If you choose to purchase an over-the-counter treatment, follow the directions carefully and use with caution. Consult your pharmacist or physician before applying or using lice treatment pesticides when the person involved is pregnant, nursing, has allergies, asthma, epilepsy, pre-existing medical conditions, or has lice or nits in the eyebrows or eyelashes. Never use products that contain lindane. Never use a pesticide on or near the eyes.

7. Wash bedding and recently worn clothing in hot water and dry in a hot dryer. Vacuuming is the safest and best way to remove lice or fallen hairs with attached nits from upholstered furniture, rugs, stuffed animals and car seats. Avoid lice sprays!

8. Use the LiceMeister® comb cleaning device to clean between the tynes of the LiceMeister® comb. The comb should be boiled before use on different individuals.

9. Even under the best of conditions, a few lice or nits may be missed. Use the LiceMeister® comb to screen the infested person every day and regularly thereafter. Seeing a nit or two the next day does not necessarily mean reinfestation. However, be sure to remove them immediately. Being consistent and diligent about screening and manual removal will go a long way toward controlling the problem.

10. If additional nits (at least 3-5 per day) are discovered, this may signal that live lice may be on the head. Another thorough manual search is recommended at that time. Remember also that each day is a new day for the risk of a new infestation. Daily screening is vital for anything that may have been missed and for identifying a new infestation as early as possible.

The LiceMeister® comb enables parents to accomplish these important steps at home:
· screen safely and regularly
· detect lice and nits as early as possible
· remove lice and nits immediately and effectively
· avoid panic & unnecessary use of chemicals
· keep their children in school lice and nit free

Answer 2

OK, as a mother, I have dealt with this repeatedly. I find that the best way to kill lice is to smother them. Dog shampoo has been know to work well, as has a lot of mayo on the hair. I recommend you get a nit comb at the grocer's. There are also lots of OTC shampoos you can use. I find that RID works best out of those. Also, boil for 20 minutes anything that routinely comes in contact with hair. Hair ties, barrettes, hats, kerchiefs, combs, brushes. Wash all bedding thoroughly, and use an OTC carpet treatment on your carpet. Also, any furry items in the house (ie. stuffed animals, or anything fluffy) should be locked in an air tight bag for atleast 6 months, or washed in extremely hot water. Don't forget to treat your furniture and your car. Good luck.

Answer 3

Just get some rid and wash your hair, then make sure to check and recheck for nits. Go buy a lice comb they work the best, not the crappy ones that come with the shampoo. Then make sure you spray all furniture and vacuum everything too, including your cars. Then take all bedding comforters. pillows, etc. and dry them for about 20 min. Put any stuffed animals in a garbage bag and tie up for two weeks. Make sure you check and recheck for nits that's the Most important part, and this should take care of things. Good Luck!!!!!!

Answer 4

On top of lice shampoo, your hair will need to be combed daily with a nit comb to remove the nits (eggs). This can be a time consuming process but will help get rid of them! The lice shampoo only kills the hatched lice, not the eggs, therefore both are necessary.

Also, if you spray tea-tree oil on hats, etcetera, lice are less likely to go to that item.

Answer 5

you need to sit and pick her hair every hour for the next week or better to get rid of them. go get the RID lice treatment and wash her hair the way it says. then sit down with her in very bright light so you can see the eggs at the base of the hair. they hide near the neck, behind the ears, and around the crown of the head. do not use the comb they give because that doesn't work well. you need to sit and pick as often as you both can stand and then pick some more (no joke) also you need to wash all of the bedding, spray her pillows and put them in garbage bags while still wet and tie them closed for at least 10 days. also you NEED to vacuum every place in your home after you spray it. my daughter had them for 3 months or better and i was doing all of this weekly (the picking i did everyday). lice is very hard to get rid of your last resort will be cutting her hair off to have better access to them. i also had to do this for my child. (haven't lived that down yet lol) good luck and i hope you rid of them faster than we did.

Answer 6

I understand, I had it years ago when I was younger but coudln't get rid of it for almost months. I used the shampoo once a week but it didn't work. The best thing is to use alcohol (and it's cheaper too). And thoroughly clean your linens and entire household.

Answer 7

well, the only thing you can do YOURSELF is wash your hair with that crap that burns your eyes at the drug store, but that only kills the live ones, not the unhatched eggs. You need to get a pal or a family member to pull those out for you with their thumb nail and index finger. Just get them to do it section by section and double and triple check to make sure the little bastardS are GONE!
good luck and HAPPY PICKIN!

Answer 8

use the store kits and wuarantine your house and and put your mattress and pillows and comforter in an air tight bag for atleast 2 weeks. scald and disinfect everything you have come in contact with. and if you have long hair you might want to cut it short. i am a nurse in a health clinic and we treat this problem all the time.

Answer 9

If you have tried over the counter products from the drugstore like RID and they didn't work, then you need to go to the doctor and get something that is prescription strength.

Answer 10

Did you try lice shampoo...that usually works I think
