Answer 1

ive never tried this
but they say it works
you can buy a shower cap and put mayoniase all over your hear, you have to cover everything scalp, ends, every bit of hair
because the vinegar suffocates them, but if you leave an empty spot they will all go to that spot
it might also work with olive oil or a thick conditioner
and your hair has to be fully in the cap or they will crawl all over your body....and thats just bleh
anyways, after you have had the showercap on for a while you need wash it out in the shower
and they will all be dead, so they will fall out
im not sure if the eggs will fall out but the bugs will
so you may need to pick the eggs afterward
in the meantime try to get out as many eggs as you can
because every egg you take out is one less bug
also use the comb and lice shampoo at the same time
if you just pick alot everyday they should be gone in about 3 days

Answer 2

Try putting vinegar all over your hair and then putting a covering on over it like a plastic hair covering (like the ones that keep your hair from getting wet). Leave it on for 24 hours and then wash it out. After that, have your mom use the special comb to get rid of the dead bugs and nits (eggs attached to your hair). Make sure she goes through all of your hair, combing it out in very tiny sections so she gets them all. Make sure you also wash all your bedding, towels, etc, so you get rid of any lice that might be on there. Also if you have any stuffed animals around that might have gotten lice or nits on them, put them in plastic bags and tie the bags up and leave them in the bags for two weeks...that gives any lice on them a chance to die. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Vinegar... put it in your hair cover it in a shower cap or glad wrap.. leave it in over night then rinse it out.. evey day for a few days comb your hair with a fine tooth comb to pull out the dead lice and nits.
good luck
