To shave my head.

[cleanmyhouse]

Lice. Fucking lice.

I thought this shit was in my past. 2 teenaged sons and we have lice.

WWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

YABU. Slather your head and theres in cheapo conditioner...leave for an hour. Comb with nit comb and wash.

theirs ffs. Not theres.

...and then do it again in four days or so when more of the little b*ggers have hatched out.

Oddly enough I've been feeling a bit itchy lately; like you, I thought we had left those years behind.....

Not getting the correlation between headlice and head shaving tbh, you still have to treat the problem surely?

Um...because head lice live in hair and if i shaved off there would be no hair to live in. Or do bald people get head lice too.

We have wet combed and done Hedrin. Lovely way to spend the holiday.

deedee33 - the woman in the chemist told me that teenagers are a big problem because mums like me think its in the past. I'll be obsessively combing and going through bottles and bottles of conditioner for the forseeable.

I thought you meant shaving it very short, not completely bald, in which case yes you could still have a problem.

I'm not even sure if it is possible to shave hair off entirely. Can you do that?

yes, same way you can completely shave any other part of your body.

Not only do you think they're passed all this at teenage........................they do bloody selfies so it's all heads together.

Yeah, bloody kids with bloody selfies.

I have managed to keep us all lice free for 11 years. I'm going to go back to obsessed.

Head shaving is the only way to get out of lice!
