Use dr bronners and the coconut oil religously and you will keep killing them as they hatch and youll be lice free before you know it. Also if you miss even one egg and it hatches your efforts were for nothing. My daughter is autistic and its hard to get her to sit still for it. You should nit pick but you dont have to. You can even add peppermint oil to coconut oil but its not necessary.

A bunch of dead lice will be falling out of their head after doing the treatment.ĭo the UNDILUTED treatment every few days (use your best judgement as you know how bad the infestation is), everyday when you bathe them use the dr bronners diluted as a shampoo and when their hair is dry add coconut oil as a leave in treatment. It's harmless but why make them more uncomfortable. Leave the soap in all day or overnight, when you take your kid a bath and rinse it out make sure not to get it in their eyes because the peppermint stings. So you get a bit of soap on your kids pillow, ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS. Bagging a childs head is a suffocation hazard, I know alot of parents mean well and think it wont happen to their kid but this is more common than you think.

The soap dries and won't get on your stuff. What you do is you use the Dr Bronners straight undiluted. It's used as a natural insecticide in organic gardening. You have to use the peppermint one though because the peppermint and saponified oils kill the lice. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Dr Bronners peppermint castile soap for Lice. We have found this method to be better than using the chemicals. We continue to use the tea tree products and comb it through her hair periodically to ensure she no longer has lice. While the conditioner was in her hair she combed it through to dislodge any loosened nits/eggs. We did the same in her conditioner but added twice as much tea tree oil. She then shampooed with her regular shampoo that we put tea tree oil in - about 10 drops in a typical bottle of shampoo. The whole cycle can start over if you aren't thorough with nit picking. The nits are eggs and they will hatch if you don't get rid of them. Most people get the lice but aren't thorough enough about getting the nits. Go over and over the sections of hair to get those nits and any left over lice. I rinsed the comb often in a bucket so the nits would be dislodged. Then we combed through her hair again - with the tiny metal toothed combs - very very thoroughly. After combing through her hair the first time I then soaked her hair in vinegar for an hour or more with a different shower cap on. Using magnifying glasses and working in the best light - the outside sun - is the best way to be thorough about getting the nits. It's best to section off areas of the hair. We then used the metal nit combs to comb through her hair.
