Popular Head Lice Cures

Head lice can be picked up
very easily, so although many people are embarrassed about
it, they shouldn't be. While it is much easier to prevent
head lice than it is to effectively rid an infected person
of them, there are great ways to get rid of them. Here are
some of the most popular head lice cures.
Rid -
This is an over-the-counter
medication that contains Pyrethrum. This is a topical
product, which is applied to the hair, saturates the scalp
and strands of the hair, and is allowed to sit for 15
minutes. After the hair has been allowed to sit, a nit comb
(fine-tooth) is used to comb the hair thoroughly. The dead
head lice and nits are removed. This shampoo can also be
used to treat hairbrushes and combs as well as other hair
accessories. Re-treatment will be necessary within five to
eight days to kill any newly hatched head lice.
Mayonnaise -
You have probably heard of
people using mayonnaise to cure head lice. The reason this
cure works is because it smothers the head lice on the head.
Lice do need air to breathe, and cutting off their supply
suffocates them. This will need to be left on the hair for
at least an hour - overnight is better. You can leave this
on overnight by simply taping a few plastic bags to the head
and then placing an elastic shower cap over the bags and the
hair. The next morning, rinse the hair very thoroughly and
go through the hair with a fine-tooth comb. After removing
any dead head lice and nits, wash the hair like normal. You
may want to go back through the hair with the comb to be on
the safe side.
Hair Clean 123 -
Hair Clean 123 is a more
natural treatment for head lice. This treatment contains
anise oil and ylang ylang oil, both of which are natural
insecticides. This helps get rid of the head lice. You
simply spray the hair with Hair Clean 123 and then leave it
on for 15 minutes. You rinse this out and then thoroughly go
through the hair with the metal comb that is included. You
remove the dead head lice and eggs from the hair using the
comb. Many people like this treatment because it is
all-natural and non-toxic. This is a great treatment for
children and is safer than the chemical over-the-counter
medications.
Combing and Picking -
What some experts call the
most effective treatment is something that many people
utilize. Rather than using a shampoo or crème rinse, you
simply apply some conditioner or olive oil to the hair and
go through it with a fine-tooth comb. You will remove all
head lice and eggs. You will need to go through the hair for
at least 10 days in a row to effectively remove all eggs and
lice. You will also need to treat the bedding and the rest
of the house to prevent re-infestation.
Utilizing one of these
methods should ensure the removal of head lice and the
prevention of a recurrence.
