Things can rarely be embarrassing than hearing somebody say, your child has lice in her hair'. This is one of the most embarrassing diseases because lice are on your head because of some reasons such as dirty and unhealthy living style, poor sanitary conditions, improper lifestyle and most commonly befriending with other children at school having lice etc.
So what to do when you find lice on your child's head? Presumably you pick up a new commercial shampoo for your child and start applying it on her. This assault by harsh chemicals on your child's head can surely harm her or him. So need an alternative? Try head lice home remedies which are free from the harsh and unhealthy chemicals.
Below are the 3 most effective tips on head lice home remedies:
Lemon Juice & Garlic Paste
Take equal amount of (the amount should be 1 to 2 tablespoons) lemon juice and garlic paste. Apply it on your child's scalp and let it be for half an hour. Then wash your head with cold water and rinse off all the dirt, dandruff and the lice. Almost same methods are applicable with Aloe Vera, Almond, Olive oil and egg yolk.
Head Lice Vinegar Method
The second best method to clean your child's head off of lice is probably the vinegar method. Here you prepare a rinse of equal amount of kitchen vinegar and water and mix it well to form foam, one cupful can be enough. Now apply it on her scalp and rinse your hair well and rub it for a few minutes. Wait for 2-5 minutes and rinse it out. To get a result, it is important to carry this on at the rate of twice a day until there are no more lice.
A Head Lice Comb
One of the most effective and oldest methods to wipe away lice from the head(s) of your child is a head lice comb. The method is the simplest and the cheapest of the lot. You simply have to search through your child's hair with a comb and try to find live or dead lice and their nits (eggs). Then simply comb them off to rid the lice.
The only disadvantage to this method is that this is time consuming method, which most parents want to avoid. Now the combs are also available as electrical. They are run by batteries and make a sound when a louse is caught by it.
There are other methods too. One of the least popular and most effective methods is shaving your head completely. Also for head lice home remedies, look also for nit (lice egg) because if the lice are cleared and the nits are left...no work has been done as they will grow up to be lice and the effect would be the same.
