Recurring headlice

My 4yo seems to get them every other week.

We condition and comb through (with a nutty gritty) every other day I don't wash her hair everyday

Her hair is tied up for nursery

We use the Vosene detangler (that is also meant to be a headlice repellent??)

I thoroughly clean her Tangle Teezers and replace regularly (curly hair)

Clean bed linen once a week I know they can't survive on bed linen but still

We use an OTC treatment when she has "a lot"

I catch them occasionally.... grim.... and embarrassing!! Her siblings and dad don't.

What else can we do????

Speak to the school/nursery asking them to get all parents to check their dc for lice, check your whole family and treat everyone to stop any cross infections.
