[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty much all live are super lice and don't respond to shampoo or chemical treatments.  Don't even bother.  We go to a lice center and they have a heat treatment plus combing that has worked every time.[/quote]

You can also do it at home and save a lot of money, but it takes diligence. I became good at nit combing the hard way, but now if I ever spot nits in my kid's hair (and I check weekly), I am confident I can take care of it at home. Key is multiple treatments and careful nit checks and nit combing.

The nice thing about treating it at home, in addition to not costing hundred ever time there is a lice outbreak, is that it is way less stressful for your kids. My kid knows that nit checks/comb outs are a time when she gets to sit and watch whatever TV she wants, and I'll give her a smoothie or milkshake to sip on while I do it. It takes the stress out of it and just makes it a normal grooming thing. She no longer minds the metal nit comb (which she used to absolutely hate) and in a weird way it's bonding time. We do it every Sunday evening during the school year.[/quote]
