Today I went to brush some lint out the youngest hair...and it moved. Upon better inspection I found it to be crawling and he had pals with him too! Its just insane because the child barely has any hair and I am always washing, combing and playing with her hair (she loves having her hair done) and have not seen them before now. I quick checked all the others and saw nothing on anyone...but everyone is getting treated anyways just to be sure!! I am so sure I have them because the little one sleeps with me and always is all over my head...She loves our heads touching while we sleep.
I hate chemicals anyways but the little one is too young to use them and I won't while I am pregnant so I am on the hunt tomorrow for the natural products I have researched that seem to work well....and we will be combing combing combing. My other 2 daughters have super duper thick hair and we all have hair to our waists...At least mine is pretty fine and thin. NIGHTMARE!!!!!
OMG this is horrible!!!
Re: Just what I needed..head lice here
We tried the chemical treatment and no luck. What worked fornl us was the listerine and shower cap. Then I would use tgel every other day for a couple days.
Also I would lay her down on the floor with a desk lamp and pick each one out. I would use cuticle scissors and clip the eggs out.
After all that we use leave in conditioner every day now bc of the oils it contains and coconut oil conditioner.
It was an utter nightmare but we finally are rid of it.

Be impeccable with your word
Do your best
I bought something called LiceFree gel at the drugstore. Its a non chemical thing. It worked fantastic on the boy's hair. You could just glide a comb right through and only one boy had anything in their hair. It was the youngest boy. Weird thing was no adult lice were on him but he had a bunch of nits. I did the gel stuff on my hair just as a second to be safe treatment on me as I was not convinced my daughter did a good job with the comb out the first time. Combing the gel out of very long hair was not easy. Great for short hair.
I found no adult bugs on anyone but me and the baby. I found one old egg on my one daughter but nothing else. But everyone was treated.
I do a quick check on everyone everyday and have not seen anything. I will retreat everyone every week for a month as a be safe procedure. Its all non chemical so it wont hurt them
