Ok, so after battling Head Lice for a YEAR with my 5 daughters I finally found something that worked. I had spent 100's of dollars on the medicated stuff it NEVER worked with them on top of doing all the things in the house that needed to be done. I read thru this forum and used some things that were mentioned a few times. You will need:
A jar of petroleum jelly
baby oil
Dawn liquid dish soap
Shower caps
Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner
Right before bedtime I slathered the petroleum jelly in each kids hair I mean thick, covered their heads with the shower caps(secured the backs with a hair tie)
In the morning I removed the caps ( I could see dead lice, and nits in the cap) I added the baby oil and worked it thru
I combed thru their hair and omg was so impressed that it worked, everything came out of the hair so easy
Then I lathered there heads with the Dawn soap ( it helps break down the oils)
then washed with the shampoo and conditioner.
You may have to shampoo the hair a few times to get all the oil out especially if it is thick hair.
I hope this helps someone!!!!
