No. You need a product made specifically for killing the lice, and you need to wash ALL bed linens, hats, scarves, etc., in very hot water to prevent reinfestation. Run your pillows (and things that can't be washed) through the dryer on high heat for at least 45 minutes to kill the lice. For items that can't be washed or run through a hot dryer, hang them on a clothes line in the hot sun for several hours.

It might kill some of the adult lice, but it is the eggs they lay that it wont kill. It take using that shampoo and then one of those really fine lice egg combs to get rid of them. Also everything needs to be washed/dried and and any plushy toys or pillows need to be qaurintined in a plastic bag for two weeks. That is what I read recently in the newspaper anyway. Good luck. I agree it might kill a few bugs but coloring your hair WILL NOT KILL LICE!

Yes it does, the ammonia in the hair die kills lice, you still would have to go threw your hair with a lice comb thing to get all the dead lice/ eggs out though. my daughter has done that about 8 times now.

Probably not, but the dye might drown some of them. The only way to get rid of them is to use a special pesticide shampoo from the pharmacy.

Will flat ironing your hair kill lice eggs?

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. Nits usually hatch by the time the hair has grown 1/4 inch.
