Poor Jazz....she's now going through her umpteenth infestation of nits:(
Her poor mum has tried everything over the counter...including tee-tree oil products and still they come back. Has anyone and tried and tested means of getting rid of these little blighters?
My daughter in law used to do all the above - but she also sprayed her daughters hair with hairspray every day - and that deterred them _________________ Lottie the Allotment Lady
with my kids we tried varios things it seemed the beggers got immune to one thing after another ... guiness and suleo was the best ,put the suleo on as per instructions but leave on double the time allowed. when ya done wash the hair in a bottle guiness with shampoo . it shines like a light and the little beggers cant grip the hair it so shiny ,hehhe another stuff was prioderm ,,, _________________
washing hair with a tea tree oil shampoo is meant to be a deterrant, not sure if it works.
Works here, but you must use shampoo and conditoner. When there is a known outbreak we add a tea tree oil hair spray. We use wet combing to check for them but nothing since moving to tea tree oil.
Strangely, my two never once had nits, all the other childhood ailments but never nits. No idea why, just lucky it would seem. Have consulted some of my books and come up with this, but can't say whether it worksbecause never tried it.
1fl oz almond or olive oil. Add 25 drops lavender, 25 drops rosemary, 12 drops eucalyptus, 12 drops geranium. Warm gently and comb through hair thoroughly. Wrap the hair in plastic eg carrier bag or shower cap and leave for at least one hour. (Whilst fretful child throws a paddy ). Remove and comb hair with a nit comb before washing.
Treat every hairbrush, hair slides etc, all towels, pillowcases, hats etc by a good hot wash.
Repeat weekly until the all clear is sounded.
I would recommend a skin patch test before sloshing it on, just in case of adverse reaction.
