I have nits; will you be my friend?

[Feetupteashot]

Reception age child, first social tomorrow to meet parents outside of the drop off queue and I have 3 nits! But if I treat then with Hedrin I will be a Greasemonster.

What to do? If my chat is quite good would you forgive the odd parasite?

Why would you be a greasemonster?

oh my god, treat the nits!

I would be yes-rather a greasy nit treater than not!

Vamoose is the best in our house!

Because the shampoo makes your hair greasy despite many, many many shampooings.

Nitty gritty comb is king!

Night watch ????

Shampoo your hair tonight a few times then do it again in the morning.

Wash your hair with fairy liquid afterwards. Twice. Back to normal and no nits!

I have done nitty gritty to check which is how I found some

They are so grim but yes, took about a week for hair to go back to normal after last nit treatment

Eurgh!

Treat the nits, wear a hat.

@October2020 this is a possibility

Nits

Forgot about those pesky things

Double wash with daily liquid.
Then normal shampoo
Avoid conditioner

Dry shampoo on top ?
And maybe a hat if desperate

Fairy not daily

Hedrin leave-in mousse. All day. Yes it’s greasy. But luckily it’s autumn so you need a beanie hat. Boil wash the hat after.

I keep getting nits... I'd be your friend 😂

I have learnt to cut my sons hair very short and use lots of slippery conditioner

Definitely agree, vamoose works a treat.

Alternatively, colouring your hair with permanent dye will nuke all of the little fuckers and keep those pesky grey hairs away too

Turban your head with a scarf, add some jingly jewellery- you'll be a sensation!

Oh my god @Feetupteashot, how funny you should post this tonight. I think I have them too, me and dd. I feel like there's a million in my hair but have actually only found something (1) that I think is a louse. They're so small and my eyes aren't what they used to be! I think I've found 2 in dds hair aswell as some nits. I've had to come to bed to stop myself from looking.

Do it overnight and sleep on a towel. Then wash your hair one million times in the morning!

Put the fairy liquid on your head dry. Let it sit for a few minutes, then add a small amount of water and thoroughly rub it in.

Rinse, and repeat. Then shampoo and condition.

Wear a hat, don't take it off

Mayo??

Porridge??

Vamoose did bugger all for us, just gave the nits a brief change of scenery. They were laughing at me.

Hygiene prevailed. Only one bloody nit but am treated at least
