Flat ironing CAN kill nits and nymphs. Yes it can dry the hair out a bit but it also depends on the texture and integrity of the fair to start with. I'm a hair dresser and have been for 12 yrs. My.daughter has gotten lice 2 times. I'm not willing to put a pesticide chemical ridden lice shampoo on her head, so I first suffocate the live lice with mayo, shower cap her hair and let it sit for 2 hours. Shampoo 4x or so with a tea tree shampoo. i like bumble and bumbles tonic shampoo. I detangle with bumble and bumbles tonic leave in spray (which I just learned from a bumble rep with deter any re-infestations with daily use due to the tea tree oil). O lightly blowdry then with the hair still mostly wet I flat iron on the highest settibg. PLEASE BE CAREFUL as the steam can burn the scalp. My trick is to blow on the hair as im ironing close to the scalp. Nay sayers will say Omg you're damaging her hair...... but I'd rather live with slightly dry lice free fair that can easily be treated with a conditioning treatment then dry possibly not lice free hair which was treated with harsh chemicals and pesticides. This is a personal preference that worked for me. I back the flat iron 100%
Shelly thought Luno killed Lice Peeking.
First... vinegar does not kill lice. Use a proper lice shampoo.
yes if you care for your hair
Alcohol does not kill pubic lice. They must be killed with insecticide.
It will; the problem is that most of the nits are so close to the scalp as are the lice, that one would end up burning the scalp to get to the lice. Try to find a reputable lice removal service in your area. Most use a safe and effective manual removal method and many offer guarantees as well.
No, the lice would be killed off by your powerful stomach acid
Yes you can a friend of mine got lice when she shared a ponytail.
For example lice and fleas.
No, but it will make your head feel tingly and possibly slightly irritated. Lice are complex parasitic insects that need specific anti-lice medications to be killed and destroyed. Also, it is extremely important to also get the nits, or lice eggs, off the person or killed, as these are often resistant to the medications that kill adults.
Mainly because lice often carry diseases. During and right after World War I, a disease called typhus killed millions of people, and it was primarily spread by lice.

they are like that so when the head lice is killed its egg will still be there and hatch for another group of headlice
