Anyone tried the new Lyclear Spray for Headlice which costs over a tenner!!! Don't because it doesn't bloody work!!!

[Crazydazy]

As I have found as I am sat here still scratching away 3 days after using it on mine and DD's hair. Checked hers again this morning and found 3 live lice.

Its seriously depressing.

Is that the anniseed one? Also do not try pernod, just because it smells the same. My dh tried it and dd had extremely sticky hair.

try hedrin, it is expensive but you can get it on prescription for your dd for free

yup, hedrin

tis the only way

Not boasting, but my dd's lice survived hedrin this time! Combing is the only answer. Also we are due to go to the hairdresser so are bound to get new batch of nits first.

you have to really really slap it on - massage it right into the scalp

proper chip pan hair

and then, you have to do it 7 days later

however, if they pick them up again from someone else in the meantime, there's nowt you can do but repeat it again and again

Yes have used Hedrin, have tried every method going. She caught them within a week of trying Hedrin. Think I will spray her and myself again tonight and then go along to the doctors and see if they will give me some more hedrin on prescription. HOrrible stuff though isn't it, took days to get it out of our hair whereas that Lyclear seemed to come out straightaway.

I'm a qualified aromatherapist and I make up my own bugsaway shampoo & conditioner that works on my kids and those of friends & family that i also make it for.

Maybe because it is natuaral?? Try finding a local aromatherapist to mix you up some.

Not sure about getting rid of them but I used to use tea tree oil sprayed onto dd hair every morning when she went to a school where HL were a problem, seemed to keep them off her hair.
