Treat Head Lice With Vinegar
Lice can be very difficult to rid from someone's head. There are hundreds of remedies for lice removal and treatment, but only a few are legitimate. Vinegar really will treat head lice when used properly. Here are the steps needed to successfully treat head lice with vinegar.
Instructions
1. Warm the vinegar and put it all over the head and scalp. Place a shower cap over the hair for 30 minutes so the vinegar cannot escape and the fumes are still working on the lice.
2. Dip a nit comb into the vinegar and comb it through the hair. You can find a nit comb at your local drug store. This will help destroy the glue that the nits use to stay attached to the hair and the scalp. Brush through the hair many times. You can dip the comb back into the vinegar as many times as you see fit.
3. Mix the vinegar with mineral oil if the nits do not come off easily. You can find mineral oil at your local drug store. Saturate the head with this mixture and the nits should come off easily and pain free. A shower cap can be placed on the head after this process as well.
4. Repeat this saturation and washing of the hair with vinegar on a nightly basis until the lice are completely gone. It is not a bad idea to continue washing the hair in this manner 3-5 days after the lice are gone. This is done to ensure the lice do not come back. The combing with the nit comb can be continued for as long as you are washing the hair in this manner.
