[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg I have been stressing about lice for weeks since my dd's classmate had it. I combed through dd's thin blonde hair and found nothing, but my head is so itchy!!! It was itchy before the classmate got it. I tried combing through my hair but it's thick and long. If my kid didn't get it, there's no way I did, right? Am I just being paranoid? Since it's been weeks and hasnt gotten better or worse, it's probably just my regular old itchy self, right? Aggghhh this is driving me nuts. (I am a generally itchy person with sensitive skin). [/quote]

What did you put in your hair when you combed yourself out?  Did you use some kind of lubricant?[/quote]
No. Just did it wet. (I called lice happens and that's what they told me to do). Should I try an oil? Wouldn't I be able to see them at this point?[/quote]

I don't recommend that.  Ouch!

First, I would shampoo, condition, and use a regular comb to get my snarls out.

Then, get out of the shower.  Put a bunch more conditioner in your hair.  Use the Licemeister comb and comb it through, making sure the metal tines scrape your scalp (but not too hard).  Wipe the conditioner-filled metal comb on a white paper towel.  If you see little brown things, it is most likely lice.  [/quote]
I used a regular fine tooth comb, but didn't see anything...Still itchy!!! I'll pick up a lice comb and try again, but for identifying (not doing a full lice removal) is the regular comb probably okay???[/quote]
