Answer 1

Dear Karenj, my advice for you is take 500 gms of fresh neem leaves and boiled them in 5 litres of water untill it is boiled upto 1 litre than apply on your head i am sure after 1week your problem will solve take care.

You dont have to shave your hair off !- if that was the answer our schools would be filled with bald children. I think you should use one of the lotions that you leave on all night to start with, then for two weeks afterwards comb your hair through with a nit comb that you buy from the chemist - you have to use tea tree shampoo and then tee tree conditioner every two days for two weeks and they should go . You probably dont have to shampoo it every two days if you think that this is too often. you could just condition it if you like. Nits dont like tee tree and I think it works as well as many of the lotions that are out there and its usually really cheap to buy. If you have got a child at school then I would continue using it whenever you need to wash your hair. Make sure the whole family is checked out and maybe you could suggest they use it too. The only reason you may wish to have a trim up is so it make it easier for you to comb through. Make sure old hair is removed from brushes. hope this is of help

Answer 3

if you didn t use the comb w/it they didnt all come out &have hatched again. some people have uses kerosine or stuff like that to smother them out. be careful if u do that.

about the dryness , use a leave in conditioner, the Queen Helen is inexpensive & it's great stuff. I think i'd wait til i got rid of the lice first .to use any deep conditioning though.

try the shampooo again, & this time use the comb & don't be around w/someone else too close, you may have gotten re-infected.

Answer 4

you could repeat the lice treatment shampoo or see a professional medical person . but I would not take rash steps like shaving my head . I had lice once and it took a few days of consecutive treatments with rid shampoo and no more problems . Also read the advice that comes with the product for treating clothes and bedding which they can return from even if you kill off the ones in your hair if they are say in your pillow or in your hair brush.

Answer 5

full marks i think is useless - the only one i would recommend would be DERBAC lotion. My daughter seems to breed her own so i have tried many products.
You need to treat everyone else in the household too, do not share brushes!!
Brush hair through
using a nit comb comb head right round to get out as many as you can.
shampoo hair as usual and apply conditioner, while conditioner is on your head brush your hair through again with brush, (saves hair tangling) the again go round your head with the nit comb.....
keep changing the direction that you are combing and keep redoing this until you can comb round your head without getting any out. Remember to keep as close to the scalp as you can (from the very root of the hair).
Rinse hair leave to dry and then apply the derbac lotion. Rub in thoroughly and leave overnite.
In morning repeat the combing with the conditioner and continue combing through with comb morning and night until all eggs are eradicated, dependant on how servere the infestation is this could take up to a month.
Headlice prefer to live on short clean hair but will live in long hair.
I don't care what anyone else says they can jump from head to head and they can live for a while in furry pets.

Answer 6

Wet your hair and apply loads of conditioner and comb your hair thoroughly. Do this every other day for a fortnight.
Make sure you rinse the comb every time you pull it through your hair.

Depending on how long and thick your hair is this may take a while, you may need to try a different medication if the conditioner method doesn't get rid of them for you.

Answer 7

some treatments just steralise the lice so they cant reproduce, you may have one of those, they live for less than a week, have a look and see if you have any more eggs before you decide that its not working, however if you want to try something else Prioderm works well, and there are some great lice combes in the chemist now, but its as embarrassing to buy them as it is condoms good luck mate,

YOUVE MADE ME ALL ITCHY NOW

Answer 8

Strip the beds, vacuum the floors, wash everything you touch, through away all of your brushes. Use the shampoo again, make sure you get everything out. In a week wrap your hair in mayonnaise let it set in for an hour, use the pick and get things out, wash your hair. If anything is there it will be on the towel. Find the source of your problem, may it be a sister or a neighbor.

Answer 9

Mix together 15 drops of tea-tree oil, 15 drops of eucalyptus oil and 1oz vegetable oil. Apply two days running to your scalp and hair then again one week later. When you apply it, leave it for a while on your head then shampoo off and apply masses of conditioner which you should leave on for about 30 minutes. Comb through with a nit comb and then rinse which will take the dead or swollen nits with it.

Good luck!

Answer 10

Quit messing with 3 dollar hookers, at least splurge for $10!

Lice and their eggs (nits) must be destroyed to get rid of an infestation. The most common treatment is a topical nonprescription or prescription cream, lotion, or shampoo to kill the lice and eggs

Answer 11

Keep on shaving your head closely leaving a very short hair.
All people in the house may have to take treatment simultaneously at a time to prevent recurrence.
