Home Remedy For Head Lice Or Head Louse
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007By Mary Green Before discussing the home treatment fo head lice, let’s go over some simple facts about head lice: 1. They are grayish white in color. 2. The eggs attach to your hair, about a quarter inch away from the head. 3. Eggs hatch in 7 days after being laid, so fast treatment is necessary. 4. They are spotted easiest at the nape of the neck and over your ears in your hair. 5. Head lice do not jump, they crawl. 6. You “catch” head lice, by having head to head or body to body contact with someone who has them. 7. They can not be caught from animals, those are fleas. 8. They will not survive longer than 3 days in your furniture or carpet. 9. All 3 types of lice (nits, nymphs, and adults) can be transferred while being sexually close. 10. Head lice can infest facial hair, and eyebrows. Other important information about head lice, is that it does not matter how clean you are. If you somehow come in contact with head lice, you can very well get infested with them regardless of your personal hygiene. Also, to protect yourself from getting head lice, you should not use other peoples personal products, especially a brush, comb, hair accessory, swim cap, towel etc. And just because head lice die quickly in your carpet or furniture does not mean it is impossible to catch them from these sources. Now that we have discussed some facts about head lice, let’s find out how to get rid of them: 1. Mayonnaise- apply to hair and leave it to soak, apply heat, such as a blow dryer 2. Rubbing Alcohol- apply to hair soak 10-20 minutes, and repeat after a week 3. Vinegar- Wash your hair with vinegar, it kills the lice eggs, 4. Shave your head- this is least appealing for most people, as you would have to be bald. 5. Wet combing- Applying conditioner and using a lice comb to comb them out, do it every couple of days until there are no more lice for atleast 2 treatments in a row. There are more too: Tea Tree Oil, Baby Oil, Vaseline, Skin So Soft, and Zinc in the form of a vitamin. This should be a great start on the road to being lice free.
