not a fashion statement..LOL
Lice go through 3 or 4 different phases, and in the 1st 2 they are so tiny you can't see them unless you know what your looking for, but if your heaqd itches rediculously its safe to assume you have them and deal
A hairstylist told my mother in law that lice have become immune to many of the over the counter lice shampoos. and for kids, i noticed even the doctor prescribed ones are way too harsh for little ones. There's a brand called Fairy Tales, or something like that, that makes shampoo, etc using rosemary and lavender oils, which have been natural repellents. THEY WORK WONDERS!
other natural remedies include dousing head with heavy oils or mayo and wrappin your head in plastic wrapovernight
It is a myth that lice like dirty heads. They can't really jump 6-8 feet. anThey don't live for 4-6 weeks. Really, they don't live more than 24-48 hours outside of a human host, and they don't live and breed on animals. ( like fleas bit ppl and then go away- that how they are with pets) Before you go bombing your house like i did - just wash all bedding, clothing , anything that might be contaminated in HOT water. Clean all non carpet floors with bleach and HOT water. USE GLOVES!! Put all stuffed animals, blankets etc in garbage bags and get them away from population. Treat all household members at the same time. then, JUST LEAVE YOUR HOUSE FOR 24-48 hours.
take care all!!!
