[quote=Anonymous]We just went through our first-ever lice experience. I treated it myself and it was fine. I can't imagine my 4 yo, very sensitive DD doing well with a stranger combing her hair so thoroughly. We did the treatment shampoo twice, one week apart, even though there was no sign of bugs or nits the second time, but I wanted to be sure in case DD had picked it up again at school the week between treatments. The first time, I combed immediately after the treatment, then again the next morning and next evening. I washed pretty much every sheet, towel, coat, hat, and recently worn article of clothing in the house the night we found it, and then washed DD's sheets again the next day. My DH and I both did one lice treatment on ourselves to be safe.

We started using fairytales rosemary repel shampoo and detangling spray at another parent's recommendation. FWIW, her daughter that uses those products was at school & a bday party with my daughter when mine definitely had the lice, and hers didn't pick it up. We also have started religiously putting my DD's hair up in a bun before school, and spray behind her ears and the back of her neck. [/quote]
