Loads of conditioner, nit comb and sit in front of a DVD for an hour! Repeat daily for a few days to check they are all gone. I have found this as effective as the specialist treatments but they work too. Good luck!

You need to do it for more than a few days, their life cycle is about 3 weeks. I would do it every day for the next few days and then reduce to every 2-3 days. You will notice that you will go from getting out 100s of eggs to 3 or 4 but as long as their is one egg, they can still reproduce. I would also use something like hedrin as well.
