    It sucks doesn't it! My pet peeve is people who don't treat lice properly. I also found them in DD2's hair the day after school finished last year. It's taken me all holidays to get rid of them, then i found 1 in her hair again on Friday night! Do they ever go?

    I do the conditioner first on dry hair to remove any live bugs, then wash that out. I then blow dry their hair and use MOOV head lice treatment which has to stay in their hair with a shower cap on for 10 mins I usually leave it a tad longer. It is meant to kill anything I have left behind including eggs. I then wash that out with shampoo and re condition.

    I then do it all again a week later.

    I had slackened off with putting the spray in their hair which is meant to help prevent, so I will have to get back into routine of doing that now prior to school. Kameron my oldest, is in the same class as my best friends middle girl as well. So I think I might have to keep an eye on him too.

    oh my, i could have written this post myself!

    4 days before xmas my ds was invited to a bday party, they asked my dd to attend to keep the bday boy sister company, well lil did i know, that she had nits, and being school holidays i didnt do my usual friday nit check, and two weeks later her hair was full of lil crawly suckers.

    We have killed them all using moov, but her long to her butt brown hair is sooo full of eggs, i just dont have time to sit there and pull them all out, it takes weeks just to do a section of her hair.

    Then the same kids come to my house a few weeks later and mum tells me she treated them last night cause she found the crawlys after i asked that if they had them they didnt come to my house!

    We need a mothers unite against nits commitee, lol


    i do the same as u, the conditioner treatment and the moov, also i have heard that spraying hairspray can help prevent them as well.
