No. Go to your pharmacy and get a suitable treatment. And don't be embarrassed.
According to my kids pediatrician, Vaseline is a non-pesticide treatment for head lice. If you coat your whole scalp in Vaseline at night before you go to bed they will be dead in the morning. They recommended wearing a shower cap to bed and using concentrated dish detergent to get the Vaseline out the next morning. It does not kill the eggs which can take up to 10 days to hatch so unless you remove them all, you will have to retreat. Lice do not lay eggs for the first 10 days of their lives so as long as you retreat every few days for up to 10 days you should be able to successfully radicate the head lice. I tried it, and although it took me much longer than 10 days to get all of the Vaseline out of my kids hair, it worked wonders!!!
Yes it can work. I strongly recommend using a different method. We had used this and it took A dozen washes to get it all out.
