Answer 2

Here is a non-toxic all natural home remedy (vinegar is one of the ingredients)especially designed to rid lice infestations in children's hair: (from the Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine) 1. Carefully brush the child's head with a mixture of 3 parts olive oil and 1 part lavender essential oil. * First apply to a small area to test for allergic sensitivity or skin reaction. * The hair should be saturated with the olive oil mixture and a shower cap put on for 5 hours. * The olive oil clogs the breathing pores of the lice and they can't hold their breath for more than 4 hours. 2. Follow this by an apple cider vinegar rinse to unglue the nits from the hair. * Nits or lice eggs are fairly small and can be pearly to grey in color. 3. Then, using a fine-tooth comb, parents should comb the child's hair meticulously to remove the lice eggs from the hair shaft. 4. And finally, wash the child's hair with a natural shampoo. Once completed, check the child's hair every other day for the next 10 days, and if needed repeat the treatment. ( You could try adding a few drops of tea tree oil in the vinegar rinse for extra strength)
