Home Remedies

Sometimes to get rid of lice, all you have to do is comb your child’s hair using a lice comb every morning and evening for three weeks. You may also want to add some easy to use, but usually quite messy, supplements in the treatment, such as tea tree oil or olive oil. These are the basics for lice home remedies for removing lice yourself.

Suffocate the lice!

Suffocating the lice is the goal of nearly all home remedies. While the combing is credited with the success of the treatment, the suffocating treatments aid in stunning, or slowing down the lice so you can get them with the comb.

Here are some of the natural lice home remedies for suffocating or smothering treatments that work well if you follow the instructions correctly.

Comb and oil treatment

Using a hair clip, separate the hair into small sections and work one section at a time. Make sure you have plenty of light to be able to see what you’re doing. Use running hot water to rinse out the comb as you go.

Once this oil and comb treatment is complete, use your child’s regular shampoo, rinse, and repeat. Wash the towels you used right away and clean out the lice comb.

A good way to clean out the comb is to boil it in water for 10 minutes. You can also soak it in vinegar for 30 minutes.

Do this every day for a week. Then, keep combing the hair the following two weeks to make sure the lice are completely gone.
