I am 39 and have just discovered I have lice! I have treated my daughter's hair
too - she was riddled with the little sods - about 12 adult lice and
hundreds and hundreds of nits. I first smothered her hair in conditioner and
left it for several hours. Then i rinsed it in listerine and left it for an
hour. After than i rinses it in white vinegar and let it soak for a couple of
hours. Then I rinsed it and combed with a metal brush for 3 hours. Then I put
more conditioner and listerine on and rinsed it off and dried it before bed.
Tomorrow I will nit pick again and comb because it is so easy to miss them.
While I was combing, some hatched! It is a big problem in school going kids in
Aus. I hate them so much and can't believe nobody has invented a product that
gets rid of lice and nits without all the fuss. I will dye my hair tomorrow and
nit pick. I have done a similar but not as lengthy treatment on my hair.
Good night from Australia and good luck to all. One day lice and nits will
burn in hell!!
