i think you should ask her... and let it be her decision... hey, you never know... it seems to be quite cool at the moment with celebrities, she might go for having her head shaved.... it'll grow back pretty quickly too...
[plus think how much time it'll save in the mornings]

NOO that is absolutely torture! dont shave your daughters head that would be the last thing she would want....and she would get made fun of and alot of kids i am sure would make fun of her expecially if she is in middle school or high or even 3-5 grade. just use some of that lice remover shampoo...that is the best thing to do but dont shave your poor daughters hair!

don't be daft! get a nit comb, put condtioner on after shampooing and comb hair checking the comb each time. Keep the hair tied back for school if its long. Use comb to check all family too I work with pre schoolers and check regularly over a white sink basin so I can see if anything comes out

No but make sure you put hairspay or gel in her hair and put it back in a ponytail , I have four girl with butt lenght hair and they acutally got head lice 3 times in one school year not fun at all and very expensive to get rid of and very skeevy and disgusting to get out Im getting the willies just remembering it.

Get a nit comb
Get some hair conditioner.
Wash her hair
Put the conditioner in it
Get a wide toothed comb, and gradually smaller toothed combs, comb through, starting with the widest, until you get down to using the nit comb. Then:
Section and comb through her hair, wiping the nit comb off or rinsing it under the tap, as you go.
Shaving her head will not get rid of them,
Do this every night for a fortnight.
Then do it once every week , on a Sunday evening, to make sure.
If you have had head to head contact with her, or if you have shared combs you need to do yours too, and any brothers/sisters/relations who have been in contact.
Good luck.

No, just check her head for lice and if you or a doctor finds some lice just use the medicated shampoo

No. You know that lice are attracted to clean heads, so all you have to do is apply the proper lotion (from any chemist) and check through that they are gone. Most of us have to do it. It is just one of those things. GL HTH ( in case you wonder - this is Good Luck - Hope This Helps)!

haha that's funny but I bet she doesn't think so I would however go out and buy that shampoo for head lice just in case I'm not sure what is called cause I've never had to buy or use it but you should be able to ask the pharmacist.

Annual Scottish experience ? Why replace it? Scottish Week, sounds alright to me, one and all is familiar with what which skill. on no account techniques what instructor needs, do you or your Daughter think of that's going to be extra 'funky'?

Don't be daft. There are several proprietary brands of shampoo that will kill any infestation or prevent one occurring. Purchase one and follow the directions as a precaution
