It worked for me about 10 years ago. I researched lice life cycle and used treatment length appropriate, including a little extra for any little critters possibly hiding. I applied the crisco on my entire head and hair. Watched a couple of TV programs and then combed crisco out of my hair removing as much as possible. Then I shampooed. Did this daily. Combing out first treatment resulted in finding 26 lice and up to that point didn't even know I had them. When I first discovered one, I began treatment immediately. BTW Used generic vegetable shortening. Hope this helps
