Macadamia oil is not scientifically proven to repel lice. While some natural oils may have insecticidal properties, macadamia oil primarily serves as a moisturizer and does not have the specific attributes needed to effectively deter or kill lice. For lice treatment, it's recommended to use products specifically designed for that purpose, such as medicated shampoos or treatments containing permethrin or other active ingredients.

To kill lice and nits using home remedies, you can apply a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water to the scalp and hair, as the acidity can help break down the glue that holds nits to the hair. After leaving it on for about 30 minutes, thoroughly comb the hair with a fine-toothed lice comb to remove lice and nits.
