does anyone have a good remedy for headlice besides the shampoo they sell in stores?

Answer 1

Shave half of your head. Squirt lighter fluid on the half with hair. Set it on fire then stab them with an ice pick when they run out.

Answer 2

I have a 12 year old, so had to deal with this. You can get a Licetec Robi Comb, battery powered it electrocutes the lice, but because of the wattage and voltage, it won't harm people - you cen get them from some chemists.

The other way I've found that works is simple. Use any conditioner, Pantene, Sunsilk, the cheap supermarket stuff will do. Smother the hair with it for about 10 minutes and then use a lice comb.

Then just rinse out the conditioner that's left.

It seems to get out most of the lice and a lot of the eggs too. I promise this will work.

Answer 3

Tea tree oil works. Put it all over, put a plastic bag over hair, wait an hour or so, wash and run a lice comb through it.

Also

Olive oil, dump it all over, plastic bag, wash it out, comb.

Both of these work, I've used them both. Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic, Olive oil smothers the little buggers. Don't forget to wash all bedding in HOT water, bag up stuffed animals etc.

Answer 4

Mayonnaise- I read it in a magazine cover the
victims head with mayonnaise and then cover with
plastic wrap I forget for how long but its supposed
to suffocate the little boogers and help you to
comb out the eggs

Answer 5

either try tea tree oil or just keep combing using lots of conditioner. i tried both of these and they worked for my son who was always getting them from school. i did try the stuff from the chemist but none of them worked.

Answer 6

Dawn dishwashing liquid is used to shampoo dogs, to kill their fleas, so why not try it for head lice? Makes sense to me.

Answer 7

cover all your hair in vasealine overnight. It works but is hard to get out.
