Before you run out and buy a lice comb and lice shampoo it is important that you have accurate lice information to diagnose the problem. Body lice and head lice are not the same and require different lice removal treatments. After it has been established that we are dealing with head lice a vigorous treatment should begin immediately.  The most effective home cure for head lice without using any kind of products is removing the lice and nits with a lice comb and/or tweezers.  This method is time consuming and a strain on the eyes. See if you can get hold of a bright light with a magnification device. You will have to repeat the combing procedure several days in a row to completely rid the child of the problem. There are no short cuts, repetitive combing out with a quality lice comb will enable you to get out live bugs and the nits they leave behind. Make no mistake about it, if you don’t comb out everything the lice won’t go away!

Other popular home cures involve smothering the lice by putting something on the scalp and massaging it in…  Some of the more common things used to smother lice include mayonnaise, Vaseline and olive oil.  Let them sleep with this concoction on their head overnight. Protect the linen either by covering it with a towel or by having you child wear a bathing cap. Some people wrap their heads with saran wrap but I think it’s dangerous to put your child to sleep like that.

Remember that even if you do succeed in smothering the lice using the messy methods above, the nits will remain. Without combing out every nit, they will hatch, and you will be dealing with a full reinfestation!
