      Another home treatment is to drench the hair with oil - this can be olive oil, coconut oil, or even baby oil. The oil will suffocate the lice. After drenching the hair, you can do a comb down with the special comb (when it is oily and wet they don't fly about). Then, wrap with a towel (turban) for about 30mins. Then wash as usual - might need to sympoo twice due to the oil. Repeat this treatment 2 to 3 times a week over two weeks. Rids the lice and gives you soft hair in the process : 😂

        Wash the bed linen and any caps, hats, towels etc with bleach and hot water 60C. Wash the pillows as well if you can. Vacuum the mattress and sun it.

          Another thing, do not share combs. Thats the reason why you and some of the house members caught it too.

          My daughter had head lice too, while im treating her, she has her own comb and own towel.She used licealiz shampoo thrice a week as her treatment and protection for lice.

                    Did you spoke to the teacher to understand more details. After the treatment do you manage comb any lice. This require hard work
