best things to get rid of nits

Lice dont but eggs do...and they will keep hatching and re-infecting.

That's why I hate them!!

But lice need to be near the warmth of the scalp to survive........so how do they last long enough to hatch eggs on a pillowcase?

[Ozziehoffy]

From what I've read the eggs can't survive. If an egg is too far from the scalp but still on the hair there's a good chance it's either hatched already or dead. I agree with the conditioner and nit comb though.

That's what I thought Ozzie. What is that in your sig missy???

[Ozziehoffy]

There's a really good website I found with great info on things like this too... kids health dot org ....

Janie... ?? What ya talking about?

TWW is like a century!?

[Ozziehoffy]

Anila, that's right, they don't jump... it's direct head to head contact or obviously if there is one in a hat and you know how kids can plonk them on their friends heads sometimes lol.

Janie... lol it's nothing... was just putting it out there, it feels like a century when in the TWW.

You may not like it, but this is what we used as a kid -- methylated spirits.
Old hairdressers trick. Kills eggs instantly.

We had it sprayed in our hair.

Weird, but it works.
