Head Lice-Just the wet comb thing Best?

[SmileysPeople]

I have bought some chemical shampoo stuff, but have resisted using it after having read up on the internet about it not really working and being potentially hazardous. I have wet combed Ds for the first time this morning, and loads of little one came out, if I just keep reapting this will it do the trick?

supposedly, but if you buy hedrin (not chemical, just coats the buggers in silicon so they suffocate) you will KNOW that they are dead and not trying to run away from your comb!

Yes! The expensive stuff was certainly no better than just combing, IME.
We used lots of really cheap conditioner too - harder for the little blighters to hold on! We also did it while the children were in the bath, so we knew they were all washed away (the children, not the nits, obviously! )

I don't know if this is connected or just coincidence but we used Hedrin on dd a couple of weeks ago and she has had really bad dandruff since.......

Yes I used loads of conditioner too, and it wasn't too traumatic. Partly because after discovering them yesturday I took Ds to have his hair cut short. He is SOOOOO pleased he's been wanting it short spikey and chavvy for so long and I would never let him. It was lovely and long and wavy.
He's been spending all morning gelling his hair in the mirror, he thinks these nits are the best thing to happen to him.

After YEARS of nits, I have found Lyclear is the best thing! You leave it on for 15 mins, so it actually kills the eggs as well as gets the nits out, - I found that wet combing left too many eggs behind. Is supposedly natural etc, stinks of aniseed balls!

That is the one we have bought, but I had not used it fter reading that none of them work and the wet combimg is best.
Hmmm, don't know what to do now. Anyone else? This is my first(probably not last)experience with nits.

hedrin is good, but i think the best thing is the nitty gritty comb with tons of conditioner so you can be sure you get all the buggers out!
