Can a hair relaxing give you head lice?

No, you need to get an insecticide. It's possible heated implements may kill a few, but you'd never get them all and the eggs are laid too close to the scalp anyway.

How do you kill lice without shampoo?

Go to the doctor. The doctor might have other methods of treatment. ANSWER The shampoo has directions for re-use. In addition, before your next treatment, you need to wash all your bedding and delouse your couch, carpets, and curtains. Finally, if you live with other people, be certain they are treated at the same time you are. Do not share any hair brushes, combs, hats, hair bows etc.

How do you get nits out?

One good way is to shave it off, but that is not the most fashionable way.

1. An old fashioned remedy is to get a cheap conditioner and put LOADS (half a bottle!) of it through your hair, leave for 20 min then comb through with a nit comb, some people say to do that for 1 week twice, but i say for 18 days every third day.

2. You can either use mayonnaise or olive oil for this one, smother your choice through hair (make sure not to miss anywhere!) and leave for 8 hours then wash out with shampoo and do a quick comb through with nit comb (just to get rid of dead bodies).

3. This remedy includes a trip to the hairdresser, the product is called nit bomb, it's expensive but it works! ($20) it says to apply twice over two weeks but i suggest applying 4 times over 2 weeks (2 bottles) and that's all the information i can give u from here just go from the directions enclosed. The reason I doubled the weeks and application times is cause i used it and i still have nits. But it works pretty darn well. (i put some on a tick and within 10 seconds it was dead) and it is environmentally friendly!

The key to treating a lice infestation - and preventing re-infestation - is to break the life cycle with a product that removes the eggs before they can hatch. There are a number of natural non - toxic products available which assist the process, including nit-nurse. Nit-Nurse uses natural plant extracts and oils, including Olea europaea - one of nature's anti-parasitics - and Eucalyptus globulus - a powerful natural disinfectant - to help eliminate head lice.

Does head lice always live on your body?

Head lice can live only on a human head. They can not live without a head to feed on (suck blood) for longer than a couple of days at most. They can not live on animals. They can not jump and they can not fly. But, they can crawl along your hair and onto someone else's hair if the hair is touching (or if they fall into your hair brush and then someone else uses it).

Does head lice make your hair fall out?

No. They crawl around on your scalp and skin, but they do not burrow in or enter your body.

That is not true. They can enter your ears, as well as nest inside your years. Once they establish a nest in your ears, the kits wont work. And they will go back into your ears whenever you shower. They can also enter your nose, but i don;t think they will nest there. They hang out in eyelashes and eyebrows sometimes, and occasionally can accidentally fall into your eyes. It can be hard to see, naturally, when they get in your eyes, but they can also impair your hearing when theyre nesting in your ear.
