The Olive Oil Treatment
2-4 20 oz. Bottles of Olive Oil – Brand Name Not Important
1 Roll of Plastic Wrap or Plastic Shower Cap
1-2 Dry Wash Cloths
2-4 Dry Towels
1-3 Rolls of Paper Towels
1 Bottle of Dawn, or similar, Dish-washing Liquid
1 Metal NIT Removal Comb
Completely saturate the entire head with Olive Oil beginning at the top of the head and continuing on down to the ends of the hair.
Next, wrap the head completely with Plastic Wrap, or use the Plastic Shower Cap.
Leave oil and plastic on head overnight or for at least 8 hours.
If doing the treatment as an overnight treatment, be sure to lay down clean, dry bath towels anywhere the oil could leak out onto bedding. Use the wash cloths to wipe any extra oil that leaks from the head onto the face or body (as this is a natural occurrence when using such a treatment).
After 8 hours, or in the morning, remove the plastic wrap or shower cap and begin rinsing the hair with warm water (get it as hot as you can bear without being painful).
Next, add a small amount of Dawn dish washing liquid to your head and work into as much of a lather as you can (be careful to avoid contact with the eyes). And then rinse.
Last, begin to use the metal NIT removal comb and begin combing out small sections (about ½ inch in width). Be sure to wipe off the comb repeatedly during this process using the paper towels.
Clean out the NIT comb when you have finished combing the entire head with a bleach/hot water solution allowing the comb to sit in the solution for several hours.
Repeat this process in 2-4 day intervals over the next 7-14 days to ensure no re-infestation occurs.
