Lice
 By Kadence

Lice seem like such small
critters that you may thing they are easy to get rid of, but
think again. Sometimes, we may try all kinds of shampoos or
even try with our hands to rid ourselves of them, but it
just won't work. No matter how hard we try, sometimes they
just won't budge. And besides that, they seem to breed
incessantly so that there are more of them every day.
Why not explore some of these tried and tested approaches to
getting rid of lice.
A brisk shampoo with a 1%
permethrin or Lindane lice shampoo will thoroughly and
efficient remove the nits from your scalp. Remember, though,
that this can be pretty potent stuff and not recommended for
children below two years old or pregnant women.
Combing or nitpicking is
also effective against lice, with or without any shampoo.
Use a white comb to make it easier to spot the lice. Run the
comb slowly and repeatedly through your hair at least three
times a day. Inspect the comb afterwards to remove adult
lice and nymphs.
If you want to try one of
the many natural beauty skin care products that are said to
be effective against lice, heed the results of a recent
study on the potency and effectiveness of anti-lice shampoos
which found that the top three products against lice are (1)
Head Lice Cure, (2) Lice Doctor, and (3) Head Lice Remedy.
Some hair care specialists
promote shampoos that contain Neem seed extracts as potent
against lice as well as shampoos that contain pure essential
oils, such as tea tree and peppermint oil. A recent
alternative to head lice is Nuvo lotion, which contains
Cetaphil.

author:
One of the less serious but more irritating and embarrassing
health problems to have is a lice infestation. Just thinking
about them running around your head makes you want to start
itching and scratching and, if you have lice, you know that
once you've started on this itching and scratching, you'll
want to keep on doing it. They are a major turn-off and
definitely not good for the health of your scalp.
