I *think* I have found the cure for head lice......

[Nickinha]

No jokes! An old lady told me that when I wash my hair and the kids hair, to add four drops of lavender oil to the shampoo on my head... tried it last night on me and dd, the lice pretty much were jumping off her hair! My sd tried it as well and agreed that the lice where running from the smell. Of course you do need to comb with special comb too. Had my head checked and there are no lice or nits. Will keep adding lavender oil every time i wash my hair from now on.

Thats my advice - use it or not, your choice...

Also a few drops of tea tree oil/lavender in water in a mister, sprayed on hair when wet & allowed to dry will stop re-infection.

see ... even nits can't be bothered hanging around lavender

... snurk

(sorry .. old joke which oldtimers will get )

PMSL Twig!!

Can't blame the wee mites can you? I too would run a mile if Lavender was in the vicinity!

ROFL

Should think they are more afraid of her gun toting children, TBH.

OK, Old Timers, spill - who is Lavender, and what should we do if we see her coming?!

Am storing up nit-tips for future use [ugh emoticon] thank you.

oh Twig - you're gooooooooooooood

Twig

really, Twig!

Ah ok, never mind. Will try to get a life and not stay awake wondering...

Eli - if you see Lavender coming then duck...incase she mistakes you for a pheasent

we use a spray of tes tree lavender to keep them at bay

Aha, thank you Tamba (love the name, by the way) I will do that thing. Lavender clearly scary

Twig - naughty naughty

Thank you. My dsd gets them really badly but we have trouble "coordinating" treatment with her family here and her family with her mum, as a result she has them pretty much constantly. Anything that will help is worth a go! Where can you get the oils from?

ggg - maybe they are soooo relaxed that they fall off the head
