My boyfriend was asked by his sister to shave his 9 yr old niece’s head because they were tired of the repeated lice problem. I offered to treat her hair so she didn’t have to get it shaved. OMG I am 43 & this is my first time dealing with lice. What a production! Thanks so much for your video!!! Life saver. 💯❤
Your welcome! It’s hard for kids because they are forced by hand of caregivers. Your so sweet to take the time to help! My hair was cut like will smiths at 7 because of it to and it was sad 😞 it’s hard but if my girls get it I just stay diligent . Good luck , hope all goes well.
We struggled with lice for what felt like months! We tried everything! The thing we were told was heat like straightening and blow drying the hair daily seemed to help us!
@@Mariekr49heat is the only thing that kills lice eggs, however I’ve used a blow dryer daily for months and doesn’t seem to help. Maybe a straightener would help. It would have to be over 130 degrees Fahrenheit though to actually kill the eggs.
OMG, I am a teacher, and I just got head lice and I was absolutely mortified on Friday but here I am on Saturday watching your video and even though I’m crying and combing out my hair I know that the outlook will be better call her. I have used the medicated shampoo to kill the lights and I will go buy some apple cider vinegar tomorrow. Thank you so much for this video.❤
Hello this happened to me . I ended up calling a professional to go through all my hair for eggs . Then , just have been able to maintain . Also , used a lice killing shampoo about a week apart. How was your process ? Now I know to use preventive sprays daily .
@@michelledelatorre7856 I bought hair spray and use it in my hair every day now. I also wear it in. Raids or in a pony tail every day. It is upsetting. As adults, we don’t have our mothers to help us😐
Daily washing (Suave Coconut Oil shampoo because lice don't like coconut) and a Rid kit at least once, and then daily blow drying right onto dry hair on the highest heat setting your kid can stand will wipe out the problem for good. I had to treat my elderly mother, and her two great-grandchildren (my sister's grandkids who gave it to my Mom). Those kids had been battling it off and on for two years and I wiped it out in less than a week with this method in all of them. The heat from the hair dryer destroys nits so they die and can not hatch and when you turn hair dryer on the live ones go on the RUN and you can easily get them with a nit comb. I have really long hair but I'm also very tall so I worried about getting them myself but I never did. I also washed their bedding/jackets on HOT water and then dried them in the dryer for a good LONG time so the heat would kill them. They've been lice free now for five years. I'm their guardian now after my sister died so I still do periodically check their heads but it's all good :) Blow dryer, blow dryer, blow dryer. I also had everyone in the house for one week do daily blow drying on our dry hair enough to heat up the head and scalp just to make sure it didn't spread. Lice like to hide around ears and back of head near neck too I found so don't forget to blow dry those areas. It's uncomfortable for sure but it works.
I used Pronto foam head lice meds that killed active bug's then mixed baking soda and vinegar with shampoo. It killed and dissolved the glue that held the nats to the hair strand. I used the comb that came with the Pronto foam. I was getting the dead bugs and nats. I combed for about an hour. Then my grandson used a blow dryer. He is 15 this was his first time ever getting lice. He got it from a friend of his. I ended up getting it also. I used the same method as I described above.. I bagged up all blankets and pillows. He hasn't slept in his room for two day's. We will be using the sticky roller. So far everything seems to be back to normal. Thank God!! I'm 67 with headlice OMG 😱😱😱 never thought about that at all.
I remember my little sisters and I getting lice a couple of times growing up. My mom would always be very frustrated, annoyed, and was visibly exhausted. I remember feeling very guilty, and just overall remorseful. I'm so glad you included the part of being calm to not scare your child. This is very important. 👍🏼
I never take it out on my kid but when I see a big lice I sometimes out of fear slip the s word before crushing it's body. She doesn't seem to care..I say sorry but it always freaks me out.
I've used Vaseline in my 4a hair, the texture and curliness, plus the shampoo, also tea tree oil & peppermint oil has helped mine and my daughter's hair. The Vaseline smothers the bugs, and helps the nits to slide out easier, without pulling all my hair out. Thank you for letting everyone know it's not a "dirty person," thing... My daughter was extremely scared she's going to be looked at as if she were a dirty child. Staying calm, and perseverance throughout this time is the best advice. 🎉🎉❤ Thank you, 😊 for just making a video with experience and explanations for all of us mom's going through this alone. You've made a new community member out of me! God bless 🙏🏼
This video is awesome. I am a nurse at an elementary school so this was very helpful. You explained everything really well. I think it will help a lot of Moms. Thank you☺️
Thank you so much for this. My daughter has eggs we found today and I freaked out haha. My head is itching now too in fact my whole body is itching. I’m freaking out. This will help us a lot!
Lice can live up to two days before dying. Lice also becoming immune to the otc head lice kits. They have come out with a super lice kit. It also includes a small can of spray for furniture. Also when vacuuming, you will want to empty the canister into a garbage bag and seal it up or take the bag out and throw it away and get rid of the garbage bag immediately don’t leave it in the house. You can bag up stuffed animals, pillows etc in a garbage bag and tie it so the bugs can’t get out and leave items in the bag until you wash them or at least two weeks is what is recommended. You can verify all this information with a professional. Wash bedding, clothes, and anything that is washable in hot water and laundry soap and dry them on high heat for at half an hour even if they dry faster. Make sure everything is completely dry. I use cedarwood essential oil and tea tree Essential oil mixed with 1 part 6% vinegar & 2 to 3 parts water and a few drops of Dawn dish soap and at least 10 drops of each essential mixed in, of which I use those two and lemongrass eso, peppermint eso, lavender eso, clove eso and eucalyptus eso to the bottle and I shake it up good to mix the soap with the oils so that will mix with the vinegar and water and I use it as a spray for pest control in general. It won’t kill anything in a shell like a larvae pupa shell or not eggs but it will kill everything else at other stages. It works as a deterrent as well as a natural pesticide for more than just lice. It’s also safe for pets and kids and adults but do try not to spray it while they are nearby as it can cause skin irritation for people who are sensitive and you don’t want it in anyone’s eyes or lungs including pets. I have used certain essential oils on my skin and on my dog but what’s safe for us is not always safe for dogs or cats and even between different animals there can be different reactions and you don’t want them to like it off for the same reason. Check vet websites and double check which essential oils are safe for use on your animals. I’ve sprayed my curtains , my carpet, floors, around doorways, corners, cracks, crevices window and sliding door tracks, in kitchen cabinets that were empty and so. Even on my ceilings with popcorn finish because meal moth larvae like to form and go into there pupa shell in the ceiling crevices or cracks. Just adding from my own extensive research as well personal use and experience. Good luck to anyone who has to deal with lice, or any other kind of pest infestation. Some are harder to deal with and get rid than others. And it’s time consuming, takes your energy and everyone else who lives in the home and it doesn’t matter how much or how often you clean. Anyone, even the most sanitized homes can easily get an infestation. So dont pass judgment if you’ve never had to deal any of them. Just count your lucky, very lucky.
My daughter's haven't had any lice problems so far but my sister's daughters do and what she does is she mixes tea tree oil in their shampoo and in their hair spray
The year my kids got it, my washer AND dryer broke! It was HORRIBLE. I would treat them and give the follow-up treatment and a week later they were itching again. It got to the point that when they scratched I automatically gave a lice treatment, even if I couldn't see anything. My friend had to snap some sense into me and tell me that we now had dry skin from over-treating and that's why the kids were now scratching. To this day I have at least six lice shampoo bottles in my bathroom cabinet "just in case".
I had a an imaginary lice scratching episode several months ago that triggered a manic chemical hysterical shampooing session. A few hours later my face blew up into a small red pumpkin, my voice began to sound hoarse and I was on the verge of a life-threatening angioneurotic edema that had to be treated in emergence. If I do get real live LICE now I won’t be able to do anything about it any more.
Indeed thank you young lady. My daughter got one or two problems during her childhood I forgot everything about the treatment except the horror, panic and my niece who, together with her nanny was the original source and whose mother refused to go through the same horrific process of total illumination of the infestation. My sister insisted it was a matter of me wanting to exclude her from my life. It was a horrendous part of my life. A different episode was when my mummy was dying and I just hugged her, put my head in her lap wept and thought within my heart that I will never again have someone to love me enough to rid me of a lice infestation. See you soon mummy
I’ve been dealing with this on and off for a few months. When I think we’re good my daughter has them again. I think someone in her class has them and she keeps getting them. Now my little one has them so I will go thru all these steps and hopefully get rid of them for good! Thanks for sharing!
So I was telling Shawna this morning is that we used the old school brown Listerine in a spray bottle. My children are also mixed and have different textures. My husband has dreadlocks and we used this on him as a preventative measure. So what you do is saturate the hair with brown listerine. Then wrap the hair a plastic bag (like a tshirt bag). Then use a hairdryer on the plastic bag for 15 to 20 mins so the hair inside the bag gets hot. Times vary depending on what your child can handle heat wise. Then you leave it on as long as possible. I had my kids sleep in the plastic bag (or maybe try a shower cap). The next morning we washed hair and used a hair mask. The bugs and eggs just slide off. We repeated this process 5 to 7 days later. To make sure we got them all. I hope I explained this okay. Hope this helps someone else. 😁
Oh I’m going to do this on my daughters hair right now!! She has a head FULL of curly mixed girl hair! My grandkids spent the weekend here and we found lice on them as they were leaving. So I just need to make sure we don’t get it.
Thank you so much for this video. My daughter is 10 and just got lice from school back in October, we did the lice killing treatment and did all the laundry and such and have been using the preventative shampoo daily and all the things but I didn’t know we needed to do a second treatment a week later nor did I know about the ACV treatment. My daughter’s school nurse told me we would be all set after that one treatment and laundry and such. Well last week over Christmas vacation while she was with her bio dad they noticed she had lice again and they did a lice killing treatment on her and that’s when her dad showed me the box he got that said a second treatment must be done in 7-10 days after the first one. I also called her pediatrician this time and they also confirmed to do a second treatment. Her dad told me when he did the combing her found A LOT of bugs and eggs. The time in October I didn’t find too much but there definitely were some at that time. Your video is so informative and helpful and has eased my stress about it a bit. I’m going to be doing her second treatment in the next day or two and then will be following your instructions to do the ACV treatment and the heat from the hair dryer as well and also all the combing. I want to make sure we get them all this time. I always have added tea tree oil to our shampoos but I think I will now also add peppermint as well and add both to our conditioners and detangler spray. Also another thing you should have mentioned is to boil hair brushes and combs in hot water for at least 10-20 minutes and/or spray them with the house/furniture spray that kills lice. Also another thing is to either throw away hair ties and replace with new ones or spray with the lice killing furniture spray and then put them in a ziplock bag for a day or two.
@@MomLikely I don't know how true this is, but I heard that lice don't like coconut. So, after our first episode with lice we started using coconut shampoo & conditioner. I also tightly French braided her hair everyday, mainly because back then it was so long. But it could be chance or possibly those 2 things may have helped her not get them again. Best of luck to you in this ordeal and thanks for sharing your tips!
This is the first time I had lice and im a child I was so scared because my mom was scared so after wachting this I became calm. And I still have lice just saying. So now I'm gonna ask my mom if we can do this. Thank you for calming me down a bit
Now there is super lice! They are resistant to the lice shampoo!😮 You are very knowledgeable and accurate about the process! What I did for my 10 year old granddaughter is dye her hair with a semi permanent dye that was The same color as her own hair. It killed all lice and eggs! They never hatched. (I did a 1 time comb thru also). I did not use lice shampoo.
Thank you so very much for posting this video! It’s very informative and detailed! I’m almost 60 years old and have NEVER been exposed to lice until now. I’ve been trying to find out what is biting me and I think it’s lice! It’s a very weird feeling when you feel like something is crawling in your hair, around your face, neck, among other places on your body! I’m really glad that I found your video and will use some of what you’ve explained here to help me get rid of them, hopefully! 🤞
@@MomLikely thank you! I’m seeing a doctor tomorrow morning, hopefully they can help me! I have multiple chemical sensitivity, so I’m not sure I will be able to use the shampoo! We will see…
Hey guys all you need is some tara mira oil you can put it on and leave in hair or you can apply the oil all over hair and cover with shower cap and then wash after one hour. The lice and eggs will disappear.
Thank you for this video. I just took my daughter to the hospital because she wasn’t feeling well and while we were there I noticed she had something crawling in her hair, then afterwards I seen a few more and that’s when the doctor said it was lice. I freaked out of course lol because this has never happened to me or any of my kids until now.
@@Mariekr49 I took both of my daughters to the hospital because they had a fever, bad coughs, and after the doctor did a couple of tests, they were positive with the flu. Only my youngest daughter had lice. Have you seen anything in your daughter’s hair? The best way I can describe it were these grayish tiny bugs maybe half the size of a grain of rice. I went to Walgreens to buy a lice treatment kit which had two shampoos and two very fine thin plastic combs. After washing her hair I put a lot of coconut oil throughout her hair and scalp while also combing the lice out (they were all already dead from using the lice shampoo) after that one treatment, she was completely cleared from lice.
@@i_am_nishaj oh ok I was thinking u meant they were sick due to the lice . She's just been saying her head is itchy and I'm looking and not seeing anything. Is there some professional or just the dr that can check and know wether she def has?
@@i_am_nishaj I wonder if I just get the lice stuff from Walgreens to be on the safe side and just use it. Just wondering if she didn't have it if using it would be bad or it wouldn't matter.
@@Mariekr49 I honestly don’t think it would hurt. You’re just being preventative just to make sure. Her hair/scalp could also be itchy too because maybe it’s a little dry. Sometimes my scalp itches because it’s dry so I usually use coconut oil or olive oil. I hope she feels better 💕
I seen this video and my skin crawled! If i see my daughter scratching im always checking! I remember myself as a child getting them all the time right up to my teens!! I now use tea tree oil in my kids shampoos.
My grandkids all got head lice at the same time. I found out the over the counter stuff didn’t work so I came up with my own way to get rid of them and fast. First I got the fine tooth lice comb and combed as many lice out of the hair a section at at time. Then I tried to get as many eggs or bits off the shaft of the hair. Then I took a cheap hair conditioner and lathered down the whole head using quite a lot of the conditioner. Then I put a plastic shower cap on the head and left it for 24-36 hours smothering the lice. When you decide when you want to take the shower cap off (can leave it as long as you want making sure the eggs are dead too) you wash out all the conditioner and comb the hair in sections looking for dead or live lice and eggs. Combing all the hair and getting dead’s ones all out and not finding any more wash hair as usual with shampoo and condition hair as usual. In 24 hours check head for any live lice and look for eggs they usually are attached to the hair somewhere. If there is no live ones check again in a few days until you are sure no eggs hatch, if they do and you find some more lice repeat process. In the mean time in the beginning you have to strip bedding, all of it and wash in washing machine and dry all. Pillows either washed and dried or just put in the dryer for 15-20 minutes to kill any lice or eggs. Any towels when washing and drying hair should be washed and dried as well right away, put them in plastic throw away bag after using them and take to washing machine, don’t lay them on counter or floor. Wash all combs etc that you used and clean counters and floor after you are done. When you take shower cap off and you make sure all lice and eggs are gone just to be sure you can wear a shower cap to bed for a week or so to avoid having to wash and dry all the bedding again.
Thank u so much. My daughter is 7yrs old and we didn't know what to do. This is ridiculous it's been going through the public school system for so long you'd think that the schools would have better control over this or have safety precautions to prevent this
Some schools do! My school growing up had a yearly lice check (for elementary) and I remember never getting it from school! I did get if from summer camp once. The nurse would just quickly check the head of every student. Maybe you can suggest it to your child's school!
Annnd now my head itches! When I was pregnant with my sixth baby, my daughter brought home lice from a camping trip. We didn’t know until we all had it. I gave the boys buzz cuts, then went after the girls long hair. I was exhausted that night! I miss a lot about my kids being young, but not that!! Good luck to you.
It really is. I’ve been bullied for it for 7 years now and I still can’t get it out so I’m hoping this video will actually help me. For the most part it’s cause my parents are too lazy and work everyday
Thank you so much , I intuitively did many of these things . I’m so happy that someone else did them before me and were successful. It gives me a peace of mind . 1.I treated the hair for lice shampoo for active lice . 2.I hired a professional to get rid of all the eggs. 3. I maintained by combing the hair 2 times a day and using preventative sprays. 4. On day 7 I used the shampoo again for any born lice missed by the comb and treatments 5. I’ve been combing for a few more days and using oils , not seeing anything anymore . Took over a week almost 2 …
Thank u so much for taking time out to be very thorough explaining the process, and reassuring your followers that it isnt anything to be embarrassed about. Thanks again! have a great weekend!
CDC has a great information page. Doesn’t have to be traumatic at all. Mineral oil is odorless and never spoils. Slather entire scalp, cover with a pretty cap and call it a Beauty Treatment. The oil kills nits and drowns eggs.
The fastest way that I killed my sisters lice was by dying her hair, got a natural hair color dye and washed her hair and all the lice fell off and the eggs you will have to go back and take them off but they all did die
some professionals have said that now they are super lice they are immune to chemicals, and the hair dye can just dye the lice may kill some but defiantly not a cure all. you have to comb them out
I watched your video last week when my daughters pediatrician told us my daughter had lice! OMG talk about a panic attack at that point. I went and got the lice treatment kit Rid that has the household spray to spray on the furniture etc. I washed everything I could bedding, clothes, vacuumed everything, cleaned everything I could see. Bagged up stuffed animals etc I literally went crazy I was a mess! Ive been combing her hair with the lice comb that came with the box and I still have never found anything not even eggs (at least I don't think I have) but I still have been checking daily. Tonight I thought I would comb through my hair because it has been itching mildly but more than usual. And to my blind eyes I thought I was seeing things and I had to look for a minute or two and a bug was crawling on my hair!!!!!! The hair that I had combed out already which falls into the sink. I fell apart still even now I am crying my eyes out like it's literally the end of the world. Seriously ready to shave my hair! I saw a total of 2 bugs that came out OF MY HAIR!! I still can't believe it my stomach is in knots! Its 11:00 at night and I can't even sleep and scared to even sit on my couch let alone lay in my bed. So I'm a bit frantic and I am beyond grateful for this video! Thank you jesus girl you have helped me so much! Thank you!!!
You’re very welcome! I know it’s SO much but you have done everything right and you can take care of this. Sounds like it may have just got to you and you may not have known. You can just throw your bedding in the dryer cycle for 30 mins on hot and shampoo all the heads in the household. Don’t forget you boil your brushes or freeze them for a couple days and clean them out. In another week do any shampoo and comb once a week or so while you do the treatment. Make sure to comb in sections. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You Are so kind to help other Families To share good information You And Your Family Have A Wonderful and Blessed Day FROM DETROIT MICHIGAN 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
All I can say is thankyou I haven't had lice in years but I was felling through my hair and what da ya know lice was in there and I felt eggs so I wanted to get them out as fast and good as posable and this video really helped ty so much
I did an overnight hair mask of castor oil, tea tree oil and coconut oil. Thought I was the business. But no. Found live lice the next day. 😱😔 Gonna try ACV thanks!!
What a relief to watch your video. I'm not a child by any means, but somehow I contracted a nasty case of head lice about 2 weeks ago. I never had them when I was young, nor did my sisters! The only thing I can figure is switching barbers awhile back. I have no children in my home, and my contact with others is limited. What are your thoughts? I'm a single male, older than dirt! In the mean time, I am stocking up on all the products you recommended and heading your advice. It all makes sense. Wouldn't make much sense for me to purchase your products, but I would still like to help. Let me know if you have other payment venues. The world is a better place because of you.
My daughter went to see her bio dad for the first time. He brought her back with lice... She’s 4 and not in school & we are very careful due to covid. So that was basically the only way she could have gotten them. (Not to mention I’m extremely terrified of bugs , spiders etc) I was extremely upset especially since this was the first time he has even bothered to show up and visit in over 3 years to see. When she got back she would itch a little I would look and I never seen anything I think I honestly didn’t know what to look for or maybe they were too small idk. So when I finally found them i was googling etc. I felt like such a terrible mom for letting her go, upset , angry at myself etc. just a ball of emotions I’m also very pregnant so the emotions got the best of me. I stepped away to cry so I wouldn’t scare her collected myself and told her it’ll be okay. I did a coconut oil treatment while waiting for the shampoo to get delivered and my best friend helped brush all the little eggs and nits out. Well we tried to get absolutely everything. I just straightened her hair as close to the scalp as I could.. but will try the apple cider vinegar tomorrow. I’m just hoping the other two kiddos don’t get it either. I’ve been washing bedding every morning , vacuuming everything & stress cleaning.
It's ok. It happens. My girls have gone to play with friends and I had it one year the whole summer and couldn't get rid of it because the kids kept swapping it back and forth. If you have other kids I would just use the shampoo immediately on them as well. That way if any big got over to them it doesn't start laying eggs alot before you take notice. The acv helps with combing the most because you can get more with each pass with it being less stuck t o the hair strand. Good luck momma. Dealing with this crap is stressful and a pain in the ass. Lol
as a daughter of a single father lice has been a problem since my mothers death i looked through the comments and i think ima tell my dad these thing to help us
Every 7 days eggs lice eggs hatch so it gives u 4 or 5 days or a week to get rid of lice also the best way u can get rid of lice is natural hair die i got rid of alot of lice in my little sis hair it took only 18 hours wasnt so bad all u need is a tablet phone or tv to keep them distracted so they wont get Up or move much i had a tablet for my sis gave her a towl and gave her a swim suit so when she sat down it wouldnt be weird i gave her a choice what color dye she wanted light blonde so i put that in her hair wait awhile then all the adult lice were dead got them out then. I rinsed her hair used a blow dryer for an hour got an hair straightner used it for 20 minutes killed all the eggs got them out then i used the lice shampoo on her just in case it worked and boom no more lice we just had to wash all the pillows blankets sheets and rug couch so yea there many opinions but mine was good and very fast so yea
Thanks so much for the info and help. Both of my daughters got lice and apparently spread them to me as well. I used the lice killing shampoo multiple times and combed nearly daily. It’s still hard to tell if we got all the eggs but I’m definitely going to try the ACV and comb more.
I put constant oils in my hair and I almost never keep my hair clean at all but my friend gave it to me, it was hardly any bugs and eggs but they were still there so I’m confused as to why I got it so easily
All through the school terms I always use tea tree shampoo and conditioner and have my daughters hair in braids. Girls seem to get these nasty things due to closer contact with there peers.
My love, thank you for sharing this 🙏🏽 my daughters hair just got reinvested. Here I am Thinking I did a good job! 😂 I appreciate you going step by step. Bless your beautiful soul and family 🤍
I have never gotten lice in my life so when all 3 of my girls got it, I was devastated. It was the worst! Time consuming and constant egg picking and treatment sucks.
Is there another thing that helps loosen the eggs besides the vinegar? My 9 year old caught lice from school, and I did the shampoo treatment, then the combing. Then I went to start the apple cider vinegar treatment and after 5 mins she started to break out. Also your video was super helpful!
When i got it, I was older. My mother told me heat will kill them instantly. So when i washed my hair with the lice shampoo i used hot hot hot water. In the first time it got rid of most of them. The second time most of the other were gone. My mom went through my hair for me and she got all the eggs that were left. But i know the hot hot water won't be ideal for a young child. I couldnt figure out how i got the lice or who had it near me. Its crazy how fast they lay eggs though.
I wouldn't be so sure about not getting any parasites from pets, I'm pretty sure this happened from cuddling my friends dog...I'm a single adult not really around anyone but my friend and her dog. I will do your treatments on myself thanks.
2nd time I had lice. Last time shaving my head worked. This time shaving my head is not working. They must be living inside my scalp. This needs a dangerous solution.
Thank you so much it's so hard to get them out my niece hates her hair being up and has long straight fine hair. I thought it would be easier to do then think but more popped up. It's a mess, thank you again for doing this video
Your welcome. Until you get the eggs out they will keep hatching. The shampoos don't kill the eggs. The apple cider vinegar will help to listen the eggs from the hair for easier removal.
When I was a little girl, my four siblings and I got lice. My mother put kerosene in our hair and wrapped it up in a towel the next morning and she washed our hair and never had a problem since I’m about to do that problem is I don’t have any kerosene.
Currently in the nit removal process. 42 yr old woman , no kids don’t know how I got them . Had them 2 weeks and have tried everything . Nightly shampoos with tea tree oil and home remedies combing and nothing works . I’ve even got tea trees oil shampoo and I’ve been combing hair nightly . I’m trying this method that is suggested . Currently sitting with nit shampoo on with a hair cap and I can feel the nits move it’s driving me insane . Wonder if it’s them dying . Will try the asv after I wash it out . Fingers crossed
Yes and then you need to comb as well after to remove the dead bugs and eggs. Make sure you section the hair from back to front 1-2 inch section and use the nit comb close to scalp. Good luck! That shampoo will actually kill the bugs but not the eggs so they need removed. The acv will help get more of them off your hair strands, that way those eggs left behind don’t hatch and reinfest
@@MomLikely thank u . Still after daily removal for past 7 days after upntil midnight each night trying to get them . I still have them in my hair . Another bunch must of hatched . It’s so frustrating .
We are dealing with it now. We used to use a rosemary based spray you can vet on Amazon. I shouldn't have stopped that but I just didn't buy more. I also kept her hair in braids but lately been doing ponytails/pigtails. I am going to go back to braides and likely buns and using the rosemary spray daily.
Please dilute the apple cider vinegar with 3 parts water first. In my experience, pouring it directly on the hair will damage the hair. (Did it to my daughter 😩).
Really!! Every time we do this our hair is always so soft after. and for the purpose of getting the egg glue off the hair it had to be the strongest. much less potent than the chemicals from the bug killing shampoo imo
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video it was super nice and very informative and very positive about a subject that is not a really positive subject lol so thanks again I found it really helpful Hope you're having a great day 🥰
I just found your video. My son has very long (to his waist almost), very thick, gorgeous hair. We treated once already, to no avail. Hopefully your tips help...I'm very hopeful. Thank you so much for posting this video!
Your welcome. After the shampoo, the combing is imperative to get the eggs out. Small section comb through at a time. Like 1 inch sections at a time. Start in the back. Good luck! 👍
I read up and felt I was equipped to treat. But I made mistakes. Me and two kids were itchy. We thought it was a shampoo or water. I went through the hair over and over nothing. 🤷🏻♀️ But jic. I decided to treat. I forgot to comb after shampoo and I re-shampooed with a anti itch shampoo which you're not supposed to do. Thought I'd done well. A week later live bugs. 😬 Noooo! So I'm going to try the ACV trick. And the tea tree in shampoo trick. 👍🏻
Oh no and the girls have such long hair. It must have taken forever to get rid of. Poor little cuties I'm glad they are lice free now. Speaking of hair, yours looks super cute in this video.
I been dealing with this for a month now it’s getting better but not going away fully. My older daughter was cured in one shot my youngest isn’t. She had beautiful long hair I never cut since she was born I had to cut it at home myself that killed me :( I been trying cetaphil but I’m stressed 😩
I been there before. Cetaphil lotion for what? You definitely got to try this. It's not going away because all the eggs aren't coming out. give her the lice killing shampoo treatment, get rid of all the active bugs, then cut her hair in the apple cider vinegar and let us down there until it dries or for at least half hour, then put some conditioner in the hair a little bit at a time I'm like each little strip that you're going to comb because the apple cider vinegar he's going to help loosen up the eggs so that way when you call them out they come out better and you'll leave a lot less behind. also in the description of this video there's additional videos on how to actually come the eggs out so make sure you watch those cuz they're really helpful.
This is one of the most irritating things to deal with. I feel for you. But you can get it gone. Just make sure to do the apple cider treatment after you kill the bugs and then donor once a week for a couple weeks. I also blow dried and straightend my daughter's hair after each apple cider rtreament.
Ajax antibacterial orange dish liquid soap I used on my sons dog and literally you see the dead bugs go down the drain, why not try it, then use vinegar rince and add teatree and peppermint oil in your shampoo to keep them out.
Yep it’s not just colds and viruses once school starts 🤦🏻♀️ I couldn’t ever bring myself to use chemical shampoo, Mayo is my go to. I’ve never had to leave it longer than an hour, with a grocery bag on head. Olive oil and sea salt is a good combo also, it desiccates lice and even eggs I think. Again, an hour with a bag. A good nit comb is essential, and follow through for a week or so. Bonus. the mayo benefits hair 😀
Mom Likely! I just rubbed in the oil first, then kinda rubbed in salt if I remember. Premixed would have made more sense 😂 one of my grands got it a couple years ago & they didn’t want to tell anyone 😒 I hadn’t been around her much so I kept thinking surely not.. so it was several weeks before I tried anything. It was a bad strain or something (they do get immune to chemicals), they finally had to take her to a special lice clinic $$ to get her free. I did mayo several times, Olive oil/salt just once I think, and lots of comb through. Nobody else in my house got them, and my hair grew several inches lol.
I use the fairy tales lice prevention on my daughter every day! She rarely wears her hair down too. I remember having lice once as a child and it sucked!
How do I tell my mom to take me to an appointment bc it has gotten it off hand, and she never want to check me and when she does she says oh you do have lice, I also have school in 2 week!! She is always frustrated when I tell her, how do I convince her!!
I’m so sorry. Is there another trusted adult you could tell? Maybe even your teacher or principle so they can tell your mom to get rid of it or help you.
Yea the oils can go in all the hair care stuff. you can mix conditioner and water as detangling spray or you can just buy some and add tea tree oil to it
I have had lice for about 2 years and I still can’t get rid of it because I have been having trouble with it so I keep looking how to get rid of lice but none of these answers are helping me so can you please give me the answers for my hair 😭😭😭😭

My boyfriend was asked by his sister to shave his 9 yr old niece’s head because they were tired of the repeated lice problem. I offered to treat her hair so she didn’t have to get it shaved. OMG I am 43 & this is my first time dealing with lice. What a production! Thanks so much for your video!!! Life saver. 💯❤
Your welcome! It’s hard for kids because they are forced by hand of caregivers. Your so sweet to take the time to help! My hair was cut like will smiths at 7 because of it to and it was sad 😞 it’s hard but if my girls get it I just stay diligent . Good luck , hope all goes well.
How kind of you
We struggled with lice for what felt like months! We tried everything! The thing we were told was heat like straightening and blow drying the hair daily seemed to help us!
How or why does that help?
@@Mariekr49heat is the only thing that kills lice eggs, however I’ve used a blow dryer daily for months and doesn’t seem to help. Maybe a straightener would help. It would have to be over 130 degrees Fahrenheit though to actually kill the eggs.
So you would blow dry the hair everyday and comb?
The heat
I have a 9 year old and 2 year old. This is my first time as a mother doing this. I'm so grateful for this video
OMG, I am a teacher, and I just got head lice and I was absolutely mortified on Friday but here I am on Saturday watching your video and even though I’m crying and combing out my hair I know that the outlook will be better call her. I have used the medicated shampoo to kill the lights and I will go buy some apple cider vinegar tomorrow. Thank you so much for this video.❤
Hello this happened to me . I ended up calling a professional to go through all my hair for eggs . Then , just have been able to maintain . Also , used a lice killing shampoo about a week apart. How was your process ? Now I know to use preventive sprays daily .
@@michelledelatorre7856 I bought hair spray and use it in my hair every day now. I also wear it in. Raids or in a pony tail every day. It is upsetting. As adults, we don’t have our mothers to help us😐
Daily washing (Suave Coconut Oil shampoo because lice don't like coconut) and a Rid kit at least once, and then daily blow drying right onto dry hair on the highest heat setting your kid can stand will wipe out the problem for good. I had to treat my elderly mother, and her two great-grandchildren (my sister's grandkids who gave it to my Mom). Those kids had been battling it off and on for two years and I wiped it out in less than a week with this method in all of them. The heat from the hair dryer destroys nits so they die and can not hatch and when you turn hair dryer on the live ones go on the RUN and you can easily get them with a nit comb. I have really long hair but I'm also very tall so I worried about getting them myself but I never did. I also washed their bedding/jackets on HOT water and then dried them in the dryer for a good LONG time so the heat would kill them. They've been lice free now for five years. I'm their guardian now after my sister died so I still do periodically check their heads but it's all good :) Blow dryer, blow dryer, blow dryer. I also had everyone in the house for one week do daily blow drying on our dry hair enough to heat up the head and scalp just to make sure it didn't spread. Lice like to hide around ears and back of head near neck too I found so don't forget to blow dry those areas. It's uncomfortable for sure but it works.
I used Pronto foam head lice meds that killed active bug's then mixed baking soda and vinegar with shampoo. It killed and dissolved the glue that held the nats to the hair strand. I used the comb that came with the Pronto foam. I was getting the dead bugs and nats. I combed for about an hour. Then my grandson used a blow dryer. He is 15 this was his first time ever getting lice. He got it from a friend of his.
I ended up getting it also. I used the same method as I described above..
I bagged up all blankets and pillows. He hasn't slept in his room for two day's. We will be using the sticky roller. So far everything seems to be back to normal. Thank God!! I'm 67 with headlice OMG 😱😱😱 never thought about that at all.
I remember my little sisters and I getting lice a couple of times growing up. My mom would always be very frustrated, annoyed, and was visibly exhausted. I remember feeling very guilty, and just overall remorseful. I'm so glad you included the part of being calm to not scare your child. This is very important. 👍🏼
I never take it out on my kid but when I see a big lice I sometimes out of fear slip the s word before crushing it's body. She doesn't seem to care..I say sorry but it always freaks me out.
I've used Vaseline in my 4a hair, the texture and curliness, plus the shampoo, also tea tree oil & peppermint oil has helped mine and my daughter's hair. The Vaseline smothers the bugs, and helps the nits to slide out easier, without pulling all my hair out.
Thank you for letting everyone know it's not a "dirty person," thing... My daughter was extremely scared she's going to be looked at as if she were a dirty child. Staying calm, and perseverance throughout this time is the best advice. 🎉🎉❤ Thank you, 😊 for just making a video with experience and explanations for all of us mom's going through this alone. You've made a new community member out of me! God bless 🙏🏼
So glad you got good take aways. Thanks for joining! I hope you guys get it free and clear ❤️🙌🏾
This video is awesome. I am a nurse at an elementary school so this was very helpful. You explained everything really well. I think it will help a lot of Moms. Thank you☺️
Thank you so much for this. My daughter has eggs we found today and I freaked out haha. My head is itching now too in fact my whole body is itching. I’m freaking out. This will help us a lot!
We put tea tree oil in our shampoo to prevent lice.
How many drops?
Really
Does it work
How many drops?
I’m allergic :/
Lice can live up to two days before dying.
Lice also becoming immune to the otc head lice kits. They have come out with a super lice kit. It also includes a small can of spray for furniture. Also when vacuuming, you will want to empty the canister into a garbage bag and seal it up or take the bag out and throw it away and get rid of the garbage bag immediately don’t leave it in the house. You can bag up stuffed animals, pillows etc in a garbage bag and tie it so the bugs can’t get out and leave items in the bag until you wash them or at least two weeks is what is recommended. You can verify all this information with a professional. Wash bedding, clothes, and anything that is washable in hot water and laundry soap and dry them on high heat for at half an hour even if they dry faster. Make sure everything is completely dry. I use cedarwood essential oil and tea tree Essential oil mixed with 1 part 6% vinegar & 2 to 3 parts water and a few drops of Dawn dish soap and at least 10 drops of each essential mixed in, of which I use those two and lemongrass eso, peppermint eso, lavender eso, clove eso and eucalyptus eso to the bottle and I shake it up good to mix the soap with the oils so that will mix with the vinegar and water and I use it as a spray for pest control in general. It won’t kill anything in a shell like a larvae pupa shell or not eggs but it will kill everything else at other stages. It works as a deterrent as well as a natural pesticide for more than just lice. It’s also safe for pets and kids and adults but do try not to spray it while they are nearby as it can cause skin irritation for people who are sensitive and you don’t want it in anyone’s eyes or lungs including pets. I have used certain essential oils on my skin and on my dog but what’s safe for us is not always safe for dogs or cats and even between different animals there can be different reactions and you don’t want them to like it off for the same reason. Check vet websites and double check which essential oils are safe for use on your animals. I’ve sprayed my curtains , my carpet, floors, around doorways, corners, cracks, crevices window and sliding door tracks, in kitchen cabinets that were empty and so. Even on my ceilings with popcorn finish because meal moth larvae like to form and go into there pupa shell in the ceiling crevices or cracks.
Just adding from my own extensive research as well personal use and experience. Good luck to anyone who has to deal with lice, or any other kind of pest infestation. Some are harder to deal with and get rid than others. And it’s time consuming, takes your energy and everyone else who lives in the home and it doesn’t matter how much or how often you clean. Anyone, even the most sanitized homes can easily get an infestation. So dont pass judgment if you’ve never had to deal any of them. Just count your lucky, very lucky.
My daughter's haven't had any lice problems so far but my sister's daughters do and what she does is she mixes tea tree oil in their shampoo and in their hair spray
Yes I just put it in everything. Couldn't hurt . Hope you don't have to deal with it
The year my kids got it, my washer AND dryer broke! It was HORRIBLE. I would treat them and give the follow-up treatment and a week later they were itching again. It got to the point that when they scratched I automatically gave a lice treatment, even if I couldn't see anything. My friend had to snap some sense into me and tell me that we now had dry skin from over-treating and that's why the kids were now scratching. To this day I have at least six lice shampoo bottles in my bathroom cabinet "just in case".
I had a an imaginary lice scratching episode several months ago that triggered a manic chemical hysterical shampooing session. A few hours later my face blew up into a small red pumpkin, my voice began to sound hoarse and I was on the verge of a life-threatening angioneurotic edema that had to be treated in emergence. If I do get real live LICE now I won’t be able to do anything about it any more.
Indeed thank you young lady. My daughter got one or two problems during her childhood I forgot everything about the treatment except the horror, panic and my niece who, together with her nanny was the original source and whose mother refused to go through the same horrific process of total illumination of the infestation. My sister insisted it was a matter of me wanting to exclude her from my life. It was a horrendous part of my life.
A different episode was when my mummy was dying and I just hugged her, put my head in her lap wept and thought within my heart that I will never again have someone to love me enough to rid me of a lice infestation. See you soon mummy
I’ve been dealing with this on and off for a few months. When I think we’re good my daughter has them again. I think someone in her class has them and she keeps getting them. Now my little one has them so I will go thru all these steps and hopefully get rid of them for good! Thanks for sharing!
Dads appreciate you too. Thank you for the information.
So I was telling Shawna this morning is that we used the old school brown Listerine in a spray bottle. My children are also mixed and have different textures. My husband has dreadlocks and we used this on him as a preventative measure. So what you do is saturate the hair with brown listerine. Then wrap the hair a plastic bag (like a tshirt bag). Then use a hairdryer on the plastic bag for 15 to 20 mins so the hair inside the bag gets hot. Times vary depending on what your child can handle heat wise. Then you leave it on as long as possible. I had my kids sleep in the plastic bag (or maybe try a shower cap). The next morning we washed hair and used a hair mask. The bugs and eggs just slide off. We repeated this process 5 to 7 days later. To make sure we got them all. I hope I explained this okay. Hope this helps someone else. 😁
Yes thank you! Nice to hear you used it in dreads..so it's similar to apple cider vinegar.. I did t think to blow heat on the bag..tfs
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS MIX-IT WORKED! xoxo
Oh I’m going to do this on my daughters hair right now!! She has a head FULL of curly mixed girl hair!
My grandkids spent the weekend here and we found lice on them as they were leaving. So I just need to make sure we don’t get it.
Thanks I am a child in grade 4 I was touching my hair and took something out and it was lice thanks for your help
What kind of hair mask is there a certain one or any one is fine
Thank you so much for this video. My daughter is 10 and just got lice from school back in October, we did the lice killing treatment and did all the laundry and such and have been using the preventative shampoo daily and all the things but I didn’t know we needed to do a second treatment a week later nor did I know about the ACV treatment. My daughter’s school nurse told me we would be all set after that one treatment and laundry and such. Well last week over Christmas vacation while she was with her bio dad they noticed she had lice again and they did a lice killing treatment on her and that’s when her dad showed me the box he got that said a second treatment must be done in 7-10 days after the first one. I also called her pediatrician this time and they also confirmed to do a second treatment. Her dad told me when he did the combing her found A LOT of bugs and eggs. The time in October I didn’t find too much but there definitely were some at that time.
Your video is so informative and helpful and has eased my stress about it a bit. I’m going to be doing her second treatment in the next day or two and then will be following your instructions to do the ACV treatment and the heat from the hair dryer as well and also all the combing. I want to make sure we get them all this time. I always have added tea tree oil to our shampoos but I think I will now also add peppermint as well and add both to our conditioners and detangler spray.
Also another thing you should have mentioned is to boil hair brushes and combs in hot water for at least 10-20 minutes and/or spray them with the house/furniture spray that kills lice. Also another thing is to either throw away hair ties and replace with new ones or spray with the lice killing furniture spray and then put them in a ziplock bag for a day or two.
OMG how stressful! Thank God, my daughter only had it once way back in 2nd grade. She's in 7th grade now and I seriously hope we're done with lice!
It's a pain i hope it stays gone..it always happens when i let them hang around lots of kids in summer or when school starts 🤦🏽♀️
@@MomLikely I don't know how true this is, but I heard that lice don't like coconut. So, after our first episode with lice we started using coconut shampoo & conditioner. I also tightly French braided her hair everyday, mainly because back then it was so long. But it could be chance or possibly those 2 things may have helped her not get them again. Best of luck to you in this ordeal and thanks for sharing your tips!
This is the first time I had lice and im a child I was so scared because my mom was scared so after wachting this I became calm. And I still have lice just saying. So now I'm gonna ask my mom if we can do this. Thank you for calming me down a bit
Did it work
I hope it worked for you!
Now there is super lice! They are resistant to the lice shampoo!😮 You are very knowledgeable and accurate about the process! What I did for my 10 year old granddaughter is dye her hair with a semi permanent dye that was The same color as her own hair. It killed all lice and eggs! They never hatched. (I did a 1 time comb thru also). I did not use lice shampoo.
If I find it on myself I'll probably end up dying my hair to. Such pests
Doesn't work super lice are resistant even to bleach
😊
What is recommended for children when not considering dying the childrens hair?
I dyed my hair, did not get rid of them!
Thank you so very much for posting this video! It’s very informative and detailed! I’m almost 60 years old and have NEVER been exposed to lice until now. I’ve been trying to find out what is biting me and I think it’s lice! It’s a very weird feeling when you feel like something is crawling in your hair, around your face, neck, among other places on your body!
I’m really glad that I found your video and will use some of what you’ve explained here to help me get rid of them, hopefully! 🤞
So sorry you’re facing this. It will resolve with some effort. Wish you best of luck
@@MomLikely thank you! I’m seeing a doctor tomorrow morning, hopefully they can help me! I have multiple chemical sensitivity, so I’m not sure I will be able to use the shampoo! We will see…
Hey guys all you need is some tara mira oil you can put it on and leave in hair or you can apply the oil all over hair and cover with shower cap and then wash after one hour. The lice and eggs will disappear.
Taramira oil alone or with a carrier oil? Thanks
Thank you for this video. I just took my daughter to the hospital because she wasn’t feeling well and while we were there I noticed she had something crawling in her hair, then afterwards I seen a few more and that’s when the doctor said it was lice. I freaked out of course lol because this has never happened to me or any of my kids until now.
How wasn't she feeling good? I suspect my daughter has lice she's itchy
@@Mariekr49 I took both of my daughters to the hospital because they had a fever, bad coughs, and after the doctor did a couple of tests, they were positive with the flu. Only my youngest daughter had lice. Have you seen anything in your daughter’s hair? The best way I can describe it were these grayish tiny bugs maybe half the size of a grain of rice. I went to Walgreens to buy a lice treatment kit which had two shampoos and two very fine thin plastic combs. After washing her hair I put a lot of coconut oil throughout her hair and scalp while also combing the lice out (they were all already dead from using the lice shampoo) after that one treatment, she was completely cleared from lice.
@@i_am_nishaj oh ok I was thinking u meant they were sick due to the lice . She's just been saying her head is itchy and I'm looking and not seeing anything. Is there some professional or just the dr that can check and know wether she def has?
@@i_am_nishaj I wonder if I just get the lice stuff from Walgreens to be on the safe side and just use it. Just wondering if she didn't have it if using it would be bad or it wouldn't matter.
@@Mariekr49 I honestly don’t think it would hurt. You’re just being preventative just to make sure. Her hair/scalp could also be itchy too because maybe it’s a little dry. Sometimes my scalp itches because it’s dry so I usually use coconut oil or olive oil. I hope she feels better 💕
Girl… when you said you called your mom. Omg first thing I did lol. Thanks so much for the advice this is such a hard experience to go through.
I seen this video and my skin crawled! If i see my daughter scratching im always checking! I remember myself as a child getting them all the time right up to my teens!! I now use tea tree oil in my kids shampoos.
Same here I Instantly freak out and start searching.
My grandkids all got head lice at the same time. I found out the over the counter stuff didn’t work so I came up with my own way to get rid of them and fast. First I got the fine tooth lice comb and combed as many lice out of the hair a section at at time. Then I tried to get as many eggs or bits off the shaft of the hair. Then I took a cheap hair conditioner and lathered down the whole head using quite a lot of the conditioner. Then I put a plastic shower cap on the head and left it for 24-36 hours smothering the lice. When you decide when you want to take the shower cap off (can leave it as long as you want making sure the eggs are dead too) you wash out all the conditioner and comb the hair in sections looking for dead or live lice and eggs. Combing all the hair and getting dead’s ones all out and not finding any more wash hair as usual with shampoo and condition hair as usual. In 24 hours check head for any live lice and look for eggs they usually are attached to the hair somewhere. If there is no live ones check again in a few days until you are sure no eggs hatch, if they do and you find some more lice repeat process. In the mean time in the beginning you have to strip bedding, all of it and wash in washing machine and dry all. Pillows either washed and dried or just put in the dryer for 15-20 minutes to kill any lice or eggs. Any towels when washing and drying hair should be washed and dried as well right away, put them in plastic throw away bag after using them and take to washing machine, don’t lay them on counter or floor. Wash all combs etc that you used and clean counters and floor after you are done. When you take shower cap off and you make sure all lice and eggs are gone just to be sure you can wear a shower cap to bed for a week or so to avoid having to wash and dry all the bedding again.
Thank u so much. My daughter is 7yrs old and we didn't know what to do. This is ridiculous it's been going through the public school system for so long you'd think that the schools would have better control over this or have safety precautions to prevent this
Some schools do! My school growing up had a yearly lice check (for elementary) and I remember never getting it from school!
I did get if from summer camp once. The nurse would just quickly check the head of every student. Maybe you can suggest it to your child's school!
Annnd now my head itches! When I was pregnant with my sixth baby, my daughter brought home lice from a camping trip. We didn’t know until we all had it. I gave the boys buzz cuts, then went after the girls long hair. I was exhausted that night! I miss a lot about my kids being young, but not that!! Good luck to you.
Oh my! What a trooper. It is exhausting for sure.
I constantly keep scratching when I think about it lol
Did the buzz cuts take care of it right away?
Whoa. This is an important topic for sure. Lice is such a scary thing!
Yes definitely! So much anxiety over it especially not knowing what to do.
It really is. I’ve been bullied for it for 7 years now and I still can’t get it out so I’m hoping this video will actually help me. For the most part it’s cause my parents are too lazy and work everyday
Thank you so much , I intuitively did many of these things . I’m so happy that someone else did them before me and were successful. It gives me a peace of mind .
1.I treated the hair for lice shampoo for active lice .
2.I hired a professional to get rid of all the eggs.
3. I maintained by combing the hair 2 times a day and using preventative sprays.
4. On day 7 I used the shampoo again for any born lice missed by the comb and treatments
5. I’ve been combing for a few more days and using oils , not seeing anything anymore .
Took over a week almost 2 …
Thank u so much for taking time out to be very thorough explaining the process, and reassuring your followers that it isnt anything to be embarrassed about. Thanks again! have a great weekend!
CDC has a great information page. Doesn’t have to be traumatic at all. Mineral oil is odorless and never spoils. Slather entire scalp, cover with a pretty cap and call it a Beauty Treatment. The oil kills nits and drowns eggs.
I've tried olive oil for 24 hours... if anything it made it worse. What is mineral oil? Thanks x
@@KM-wv2og mineral oil is baby oil
Oil does Not drown the eggs.
Nits = eggs
What an AWESOME (Well-made!) VIDEO! ❤ !! I wish I had found this right off the bat when I was confused & wondering 💭
The fastest way that I killed my sisters lice was by dying her hair, got a natural hair color dye and washed her hair and all the lice fell off and the eggs you will have to go back and take them off but they all did die
Even the eggs??
OMG THIS WORKS IT TOOK 1 TRY:D
But I’m not the age to dye hair
@@-kay-6886 well you could get hair dye that's your natural hair color at the dollar store or Walmart for pretty cheap
some professionals have said that now they are super lice they are immune to chemicals, and the hair dye can just dye the lice may kill some but defiantly not a cure all. you have to comb them out
This video is saving my life 😢 kind of freaked out yesterday when I seen it in my 4 year olds hair had to gather myself to not scare her.
Yes! I hope it went well. I know it’s stressful.
I watched your video last week when my daughters pediatrician told us my daughter had lice! OMG talk about a panic attack at that point. I went and got the lice treatment kit Rid that has the household spray to spray on the furniture etc. I washed everything I could bedding, clothes, vacuumed everything, cleaned everything I could see. Bagged up stuffed animals etc I literally went crazy I was a mess! Ive been combing her hair with the lice comb that came with the box and I still have never found anything not even eggs (at least I don't think I have) but I still have been checking daily. Tonight I thought I would comb through my hair because it has been itching mildly but more than usual. And to my blind eyes I thought I was seeing things and I had to look for a minute or two and a bug was crawling on my hair!!!!!! The hair that I had combed out already which falls into the sink. I fell apart still even now I am crying my eyes out like it's literally the end of the world. Seriously ready to shave my hair! I saw a total of 2 bugs that came out OF MY HAIR!! I still can't believe it my stomach is in knots! Its 11:00 at night and I can't even sleep and scared to even sit on my couch let alone lay in my bed. So I'm a bit frantic and I am beyond grateful for this video! Thank you jesus girl you have helped me so much! Thank you!!!
You’re very welcome! I know it’s SO much but you have done everything right and you can take care of this. Sounds like it may have just got to you and you may not have known. You can just throw your bedding in the dryer cycle for 30 mins on hot and shampoo all the heads in the household. Don’t forget you boil your brushes or freeze them for a couple days and clean them out. In another week do any shampoo and comb once a week or so while you do the treatment. Make sure to comb in sections. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. Had this problem when my girls were in elementary. I ended up using Listerine and vinegar.. but combing is the key. Good video
You Are so kind to help other Families
To share good information
You And Your Family Have A Wonderful and Blessed Day

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you! You too
All I can say is thankyou I haven't had lice in years but I was felling through my hair and what da ya know lice was in there and I felt eggs so I wanted to get them out as fast and good as posable and this video really helped ty so much
I did an overnight hair mask of castor oil, tea tree oil and coconut oil. Thought I was the business. But no. Found live lice the next day. 😱😔
Gonna try ACV thanks!!
What a relief to watch your video. I'm not a child by any means, but somehow I contracted a nasty case of head lice about 2 weeks ago. I never had them when I was young, nor did my sisters! The only thing I can figure is switching barbers awhile back. I have no children in my home, and my contact with others is limited. What are your thoughts? I'm a single male, older than dirt!
In the mean time, I am stocking up on all the products you recommended and heading your advice. It all makes sense.
Wouldn't make much sense for me to purchase your products, but I would still like to help. Let me know if you have other payment venues.
The world is a better place because of you.
My daughter just started preschool in September so we haven't had to deal with lice yet thankfully! I know it will happen eventually though 🙄
Ohh fingers crossed. Spray her hair with the the essential oil or use the lice prevent spray.. I wish I was before. 🤦🏽♀️
@@MomLikely i didn't know they made a preventative thing for it that's is definitely good to know thanks!
@@kristymiller2098 your welcome. It's natural stuff to. Usually found near the lice treatments at the grocery store.
My daughter went to see her bio dad for the first time. He brought her back with lice... She’s 4 and not in school & we are very careful due to covid. So that was basically the only way she could have gotten them. (Not to mention I’m extremely terrified of bugs , spiders etc) I was extremely upset especially since this was the first time he has even bothered to show up and visit in over 3 years to see. When she got back she would itch a little I would look and I never seen anything I think I honestly didn’t know what to look for or maybe they were too small idk. So when I finally found them i was googling etc. I felt like such a terrible mom for letting her go, upset , angry at myself etc. just a ball of emotions I’m also very pregnant so the emotions got the best of me. I stepped away to cry so I wouldn’t scare her collected myself and told her it’ll be okay. I did a coconut oil treatment while waiting for the shampoo to get delivered and my best friend helped brush all the little eggs and nits out. Well we tried to get absolutely everything. I just straightened her hair as close to the scalp as I could.. but will try the apple cider vinegar tomorrow. I’m just hoping the other two kiddos don’t get it either. I’ve been washing bedding every morning , vacuuming everything & stress cleaning.
It's ok. It happens. My girls have gone to play with friends and I had it one year the whole summer and couldn't get rid of it because the kids kept swapping it back and forth. If you have other kids I would just use the shampoo immediately on them as well. That way if any big got over to them it doesn't start laying eggs alot before you take notice. The acv helps with combing the most because you can get more with each pass with it being less stuck t o the hair strand. Good luck momma. Dealing with this crap is stressful and a pain in the ass. Lol
You and your kids need to stay away from that irresponsible and dangerous man
Us DADS appreciate this as well.
Father of four girls.
as a daughter of a single father lice has been a problem since my mothers death i looked through the comments and i think ima tell my dad these thing to help us
Thank goodness we never had to go thru this. Thanks for the info.
So lucky!!
You can also use a flea comb!
Every 7 days eggs lice eggs hatch so it gives u 4 or 5 days or a week to get rid of lice also the best way u can get rid of lice is natural hair die i got rid of alot of lice in my little sis hair it took only 18 hours wasnt so bad all u need is a tablet phone or tv to keep them distracted so they wont get Up or move much i had a tablet for my sis gave her a towl and gave her a swim suit so when she sat down it wouldnt be weird i gave her a choice what color dye she wanted light blonde so i put that in her hair wait awhile then all the adult lice were dead got them out then. I rinsed her hair used a blow dryer for an hour got an hair straightner used it for 20 minutes killed all the eggs got them out then i used the lice shampoo on her just in case it worked and boom no more lice we just had to wash all the pillows blankets sheets and rug couch so yea there many opinions but mine was good and very fast so yea
Which hair dye did you use? My two daughters got lice and spread them to me and I’m very desperate for a solution
Thanks so much for the info and help. Both of my daughters got lice and apparently spread them to me as well. I used the lice killing shampoo multiple times and combed nearly daily. It’s still hard to tell if we got all the eggs but I’m definitely going to try the ACV and comb more.
I put constant oils in my hair and I almost never keep my hair clean at all but my friend gave it to me, it was hardly any bugs and eggs but they were still there so I’m confused as to why I got it so easily
All through the school terms I always use tea tree shampoo and conditioner and have my daughters hair in braids. Girls seem to get these nasty things due to closer contact with there peers.
Yes im gonna try a sleep their hair back more. My youngest always take it down so I feel like that's how this happened to her
Thanks for all the great tips. I hope I never need to use them but thanks for the info. You did your research. 👍🏻
Your welcome..Hopefully not.
My love, thank you for sharing this 🙏🏽 my daughters hair just got reinvested. Here I am
Thinking I did a good job! 😂 I appreciate you going step by step. Bless your beautiful soul and family 🤍
This was so helpful and sympathetic! Thank you queen
Thank you. That was very informative.
I have never gotten lice in my life so when all 3 of my girls got it, I was devastated. It was the worst! Time consuming and constant egg picking and treatment sucks.
It is very daunting.
This is helping me so much girl! I’m so scared 😢😭
I’m running in to get this shampoo now
Don’t be scared! Good luck. 👍
Is there another thing that helps loosen the eggs besides the vinegar? My 9 year old caught lice from school, and I did the shampoo treatment, then the combing. Then I went to start the apple cider vinegar treatment and after 5 mins she started to break out.
Also your video was super helpful!
Dawn dish soap will break down the "glue" for the eggs
When i got it, I was older. My mother told me heat will kill them instantly. So when i washed my hair with the lice shampoo i used hot hot hot water. In the first time it got rid of most of them. The second time most of the other were gone. My mom went through my hair for me and she got all the eggs that were left. But i know the hot hot water won't be ideal for a young child. I couldnt figure out how i got the lice or who had it near me. Its crazy how fast they lay eggs though.
Yes it happens right under our noses so it can be a disaster.
You didn't use "hot hot hot" water. That'd burn your scalp bad.
Can i do an apple cider vinegar RINSE (diluted apple cider vinegar)
I wouldn't be so sure about not getting any parasites from pets, I'm pretty sure this happened from cuddling my friends dog...I'm a single adult not really around anyone but my friend and her dog. I will do your treatments on myself thanks.
Thank you so much, this was very helpful!
Wonderfully informative video. However, watching it did make me itch even though I don't have them, I think it's all subconscious.
Thanks. Definitely happens to alot of us. It's a nerve thing lol
2nd time I had lice. Last time shaving my head worked. This time shaving my head is not working. They must be living inside my scalp. This needs a dangerous solution.
What even
oh my😭😭
Thank you with this video .
Thank you so much it's so hard to get them out my niece hates her hair being up and has long straight fine hair. I thought it would be easier to do then think but more popped up. It's a mess, thank you again for doing this video
Your welcome. Until you get the eggs out they will keep hatching. The shampoos don't kill the eggs. The apple cider vinegar will help to listen the eggs from the hair for easier removal.
@@MomLikely thank you so much
This was very informative. Thanks for posting your video!
When I was a little girl, my four siblings and I got lice. My mother put kerosene in our hair and wrapped it up in a towel the next morning and she washed our hair and never had a problem since I’m about to do that problem is I don’t have any kerosene.
Currently in the nit removal process. 42 yr old woman , no kids don’t know how I got them .
Had them 2 weeks and have tried everything . Nightly shampoos with tea tree oil and home remedies combing and nothing works .
I’ve even got tea trees oil shampoo and I’ve been combing hair nightly .
I’m trying this method that is suggested . Currently sitting with nit shampoo on with a hair cap and I can feel the nits move it’s driving me insane . Wonder if it’s them dying .
Will try the asv after I wash it out . Fingers crossed
Yes and then you need to comb as well after to remove the dead bugs and eggs.
Make sure you section the hair from back to front 1-2 inch section and use the nit comb close to scalp. Good luck! That shampoo will actually kill the bugs but not the eggs so they need removed. The acv will help get more of them off your hair strands, that way those eggs left behind don’t hatch and reinfest
@@MomLikely thank u . Still after daily removal for past 7 days after upntil midnight each night trying to get them .
I still have them in my hair . Another bunch must of hatched .
It’s so frustrating .
Can you afford going to a clinic to remove the eggs?
Ty. You really calmed me through this process
Thank you for sharing. Did not know how to get rid of the eggs.
We are dealing with it now. We used to use a rosemary based spray you can vet on Amazon. I shouldn't have stopped that but I just didn't buy more. I also kept her hair in braids but lately been doing ponytails/pigtails. I am going to go back to braides and likely buns and using the rosemary spray daily.
Please dilute the apple cider vinegar with 3 parts water first. In my experience, pouring it directly on the hair will damage the hair. (Did it to my daughter 😩).
Really!! Every time we do this our hair is always so soft after. and for the purpose of getting the egg glue off the hair it had to be the strongest. much less potent than the chemicals from the bug killing shampoo imo
@@MomLikely mom likely did a horrible way of explaining tbh me my hubby and daughter were all confused smh
Equal parts vinegar and warm water.
so glad i’m homeschooled but it’s going around at dance now 😭
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video it was super nice and very informative and very positive about a subject that is not a really positive subject lol so thanks again I found it really helpful Hope you're having a great day 🥰
I just found your video. My son has very long (to his waist almost), very thick, gorgeous hair. We treated once already, to no avail. Hopefully your tips help...I'm very hopeful. Thank you so much for posting this video!
Your welcome. After the shampoo, the combing is imperative to get the eggs out. Small section comb through at a time. Like 1 inch sections at a time. Start in the back. Good luck! 👍
I read up and felt I was equipped to treat. But I made mistakes. Me and two kids were itchy. We thought it was a shampoo or water. I went through the hair over and over nothing. 🤷🏻♀️ But jic. I decided to treat. I forgot to comb after shampoo and I re-shampooed with a anti itch shampoo which you're not supposed to do. Thought I'd done well. A week later live bugs. 😬 Noooo!
So I'm going to try the ACV trick. And the tea tree in shampoo trick. 👍🏻
I’ve had lice for 6 months and it’s really bad ;-;
Oh my god did u get rid of it
Thank you, you're very thorough and made it easy to comprehend. Awesome!
Your welcome. Hope you got it resolved!
Oh no and the girls have such long hair. It must have taken forever to get rid of. Poor little cuties I'm glad they are lice free now. Speaking of hair, yours looks super cute in this video.
Thank you! Yes I'm still doing combings
I been dealing with this for a month now it’s getting better but not going away fully. My older daughter was cured in one shot my youngest isn’t. She had beautiful long hair I never cut since she was born I had to cut it at home myself that killed me :( I been trying cetaphil but I’m stressed 😩
I been there before. Cetaphil lotion for what?
You definitely got to try this. It's not going away because all the eggs aren't coming out. give her the lice killing shampoo treatment, get rid of all the active bugs, then cut her hair in the apple cider vinegar and let us down there until it dries or for at least half hour, then put some conditioner in the hair a little bit at a time I'm like each little strip that you're going to comb because the apple cider vinegar he's going to help loosen up the eggs so that way when you call them out they come out better and you'll leave a lot less behind. also in the description of this video there's additional videos on how to actually come the eggs out so make sure you watch those cuz they're really helpful.
This is one of the most irritating things to deal with. I feel for you. But you can get it gone. Just make sure to do the apple cider treatment after you kill the bugs and then donor once a week for a couple weeks. I also blow dried and straightend my daughter's hair after each apple cider rtreament.
Ajax antibacterial orange dish liquid soap I used on my sons dog and literally you see the dead bugs go down the drain, why not try it, then use vinegar rince and add teatree and peppermint oil in your shampoo to keep them out.
Thanks for sharing very useful .
Lice love clean hair. Send your girls to school in tight hair styles like braids to prevent lice
Yep, my mum took me to my black aunti and she gave me the tightest braids of my life, i had to wear them constantly untill middleschool!
Yep it’s not just colds and viruses once school starts 🤦🏻♀️
I couldn’t ever bring myself to use chemical shampoo, Mayo is my go to. I’ve never had to leave it longer than an hour, with a grocery bag on head. Olive oil and sea salt is a good combo also, it desiccates lice and even eggs I think. Again, an hour with a bag. A good nit comb is essential, and follow through for a week or so. Bonus. the mayo benefits hair 😀
The acv does to. The me about the olive oil and salt mix. What exactly do you do, mix in a bowl and then apply it?
Mom Likely! I just rubbed in the oil first, then kinda rubbed in salt if I remember. Premixed would have made more sense 😂 one of my grands got it a couple years ago & they didn’t want to tell anyone 😒 I hadn’t been around her much so I kept thinking surely not.. so it was several weeks before I tried anything. It was a bad strain or something (they do get immune to chemicals), they finally had to take her to a special lice clinic $$ to get her free. I did mayo several times, Olive oil/salt just once I think, and lots of comb through. Nobody else in my house got them, and my hair grew several inches lol.
Also: sea or kosher salt is what’s recommended
Thank you for the helpful info.
I use the fairy tales lice prevention on my daughter every day! She rarely wears her hair down too. I remember having lice once as a child and it sucked!
Same I got it so bad once I had my hair cut to my neck. I'm gonna Google it.
We added teatree oil to all bathroom hair products also
How do I tell my mom to take me to an appointment bc it has gotten it off hand, and she never want to check me and when she does she says oh you do have lice, I also have school in 2 week!! She is always frustrated when I tell her, how do I convince her!!
I’m so sorry. Is there another trusted adult you could tell? Maybe even your teacher or principle so they can tell your mom to get rid of it or help you.
@@MomLikely maybe I’ll tell my dad because he does care about what I need and he would take me there tysm tho!!
Thank you so much for sharing. I need to get apple cider Vinegar. You explained it wonderfully
Thank you! Best of luck 🤞
I found lice on my daughter head at 11 last night and we also have a 9 week old puppy.
thank you so soooo much i've been struggling to get rid of them i will do this as soon as possible
Good luck 🙌🏽
For the tangling spray how you make that? Do you put water in it? Can you put tea tree oil or peppermint oil in the shampoo? What about conditioner?
Yea the oils can go in all the hair care stuff. you can mix conditioner and water as detangling spray or you can just buy some and add tea tree oil to it
@@MomLikely awesome !!! 🙂 I'll have to try that thanks... you put tea tree and peppermint oils or can you put one? What's the best one??
@@laureltrithart5969 you can. I say tea tree oil
@@MomLikely can you put both oils in? Or just the tea tree oil?
thanx 4 the tip on apple cider vinegar frfr
sallys has tee tree oil shampoo which may help
I have lice now don’t know how I got them . Went to doctor I try everything’s so hoping this work
Did it work? I’ve been dealing with itchy scalp and I’ve tried everything
I have had lice for about 2 years and I still can’t get rid of it because I have been having trouble with it so I keep looking how to get rid of lice but none of these answers are helping me so can you please give me the answers for my hair 😭😭😭😭
You have to comb the eggs out or they keep hatching new bugs.
Wash your hair with rubbing alcohol
Thank you so much, this works.
I've been dealing with lice for months and months. I treat, wash everything and still keeps coming back
