Can you kill lice with mayo?
Yes. The procedure is simply to suffocate lice using mayonaise by letting it sit in the hair for an hour or two and then washing it out. The remaining nits are loosened from the hair by washing the hair with vinegar and combing them out. Any nits remaining must hatch within ten days, and the hatched lice can't lay eggs for a week, so using the mayonaise treatment again after a week will kill most of these, or using two treatments at intervals of six days should get all of them.The treatment was completely effective for our family. Our daughter didn't like the smell of the mayonaise, and I reasoned that any vegetable oil should work instead. Using canola oil instead of mayonaise seemed equally effective.(EDIT)I would recommend either a metal nit comb or a "robi comb".Metal nit comb: use 1-2 times daily for 2 weeks (cheaper)Robi Comb: use once daily for 10-14 days.An alternative, chemical free way of killing lice is the use of the Robi Comb. The Robi Comb is an electronic lice comb, powered by a single AA battery. Robi Comb detects and destroys lice on contact simply by combing it through dry hair. When the Robi Comb's metal teeth touch lice, the lice get zapped, die and then get combed out of the hair. Unlike chemical treatments, the Robi Comb can be used as often as you like. It can also be stored and used repeatedly by the entire family.
Can boiling water kill head lice on brush and comb?
AnswerYes. Boiling water will kill lice and nits on a brush and comb. I would boil for 10 minutes but less time may be necessary to kill the lice and nits. You do not need to boil overnight. Lice and nits cannot survive in very high temperatures. Research has shown that lice and their eggs can survive freezing temperatures..

Do nits live in dirty hair?
Nits like any sort of hair. If you have nits you need to condition your hair and comb it through to check and then apply the correct treatment.
Can you use a nit comb if you don't have nits?
No, the combs remove the adult head lice but not the "nits" which are their eggs, which they stick to the base of the hairs. So if you have nits, coming out the adult lice will not remove the infestation as more lice will hatch out from the nits. As well as combing the hair you need to kill the nits with some proprietary medicine.

Nits last on humans for 2-4 weeks unless you kill them.
How long do head lice nits stay on your hair after you have killed them?
The only way to remove them is to use a special comb, called a "nit comb". You can get this at any drug store, or in the health and beauty section of any department or discount store. The comb has fine teeth in it, that pulls the nits from the hair as you comb through it. But it may take several attempts to remove the nits, and if there are a lot, and if your hair is very long, you may even have to cut your hair to get rid of all of them.
