[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child got lice at school and it traumatized me, it was so gross. I treated it with powerful shampoo, did nothing. I smothered it with conditioner, still came back; flat ironed every strand of hair and combed with a nit comb, still returned. Finally I figured out though research how to permanently rid her of lice and now her hair is in tight braids every day. The lice today are called super-lice for a reason, and they are basically endemic at this point, so parents should laser focus on prevention.[/quote]

What did you do that finally worked? This is my nightmare TBH. [/quote]
I learned that basically all forms of treatment work to “suffocate” adult lice, the eggs (nits) are very resistant to treatment and even one singular nit missed by the comb will restart the whole process. So the key is to kill all the adult lice, and the only 100% effective treatment is dimethicone, which you can buy super cheap on Amazon. You apply dimethicone mostly to the scalp and wait 20 minutes, wash out and done. Then precisely 10 days later you repeat the process for all the nits that hadn’t yet hatched. Baby lice can’t lay eggs, so two-three times of this permanently rids you or them. It also saves so much time and money because you don’t have to locate every egg or comb every day.[/quote]
