I had the unfortunate experience of learning about headlice when my children got them when they were little. The lice liked my kids heads, that's for sure, and I don't know if it was because their hair was always clean or because it was thick and curly or what. But I do know that lice don't like grease and can't live in it if it's thick enough. In fact, I used ethnic hair grease to kill the lice. I smathered it all over my kids hair (braided my daughter's) and covered it with a shower cap for about 3 days. I kept the grease in it for about 2 weeks. Lice was gone and never came back.
