no....you should use good shampoos for killing lice. You might get some but remember the nits (eggs) are way down near the root, so you have to contend with them to get it to go away.

Can hair food kill lice?

Hair Food is, as far as I can tell, the brand name of a hair care product by Jell Pharma. It's not designed to kill lice; if it really could do this and could keep them from returning, then I feel certain they'd advertise the fact on their website. It's possible that it could kill lice by smothering them, but this certainly wouldn't be a lasting solution; nowhere near as effective as real lice treatments like RID and similar products.

Though there is scientific evidence to support that heat will kill head lice, the risk of possibly scalding the scalp with the flat iron is a risk. Lice lay their eggs very close to the scalp.
