Lice like all kinds of hair and flat ironing your hair will not remove lice and their eggs. Especially since the eggs or nits are very close to the scalp (they need the warmth) and flat irons don't reach that close, unless your burning your scalp which would not be good. Also the nits are in a protective shell so the heat will not do anything to them, unless you burn your scalp and that makes no sense at all.Either way your not removing all the nits and lice. You have to use a treatment. I recommend using Fairy Tales Hair Care Products (www.fairytaleshaircare.com) .
No harmful chemicals, NON TOXIC! I swear by their products my kids are lice free!
Dont waste your time on home remedies like mayonaise and olive oil. Dont put your kids through the embarrassment especially since they wont work and the more time you spend on home remedies the more time the lice have to lay their eggs and make more lice!!
