Just use conditioner and this comb u can buy from the chemist call "nit free", costs about $15 but worth it.
Do your hair and your daughters with these and do both ur hair several days in a row, by about day 3 u should have got most of them, then leave it a few days and do it again.
This way u dont have to expose either of u to chemicals.
Wash/change pillowcases and sheets each time u have done ur hair.
Don't forget to clean your hair brush too! and your partner may need to be checked out as well. It is just so common, they are a plague, and this wont be the first time babe!
Tea tree oil is supposed to be good, so maybe a small amount in your conditioner as well whilst combing. It is natural and they hate it too. Apparently "wild child" is supposed to be pesticide free, but I haven't used it personally I only spoke with my friend about it.
Good luck hun, you are definitely not alone on this one
- they only live for 6 hours max, off the human scalp.
- You only need to wash (or tubmle dry) the pillowcase
- there are a few essential oil based products on the market that are safe for pg/bf/infants - the one I hav eis called quit nits. Theres also moove.
I wish Id found the products that work in 10 minutes rather than the 4 hours one though. Now I will need to keep him home from school and do it tomorrow as the treatment we have is 'leave in for 4 hours'
I havent read all responses so forgive me if im repeating.
I have been using olive oil and combing them out with a fine tooth comb. has worked for me but you should do it a few times i think, my mum says once a day for three days then a week afterwards again.
