For headlice wash your hair with Denorex extra strength shampoo. It has salicytic acid in it which kills the live lice. If you do this morning and night any newly hatched lice will be unable to reproduce since they will be killed before they are mature enough to lay eggs. Continue with the hair washing routine until all nits are removed. My daughter and I did this and it was effective and safe unlike the pesticidal shampoos.
This is true...Although Denorex is for dandruff, I used this shampoo for that purpose and at that same time my children had headlice. I noticed that the itching was gone within two weeks of using this shampoo on my kids.
