Materials Needed:

Olive Oil or Vegetable Oil
Shower Cap

Instructions:

• Completely coat the hair from root to tip with the oil. Be very generous with the oil.
• Put on shower cap.
• Leave on for at least 12 hours.
• Comb the hair with a fine toothed nit or flea comb. Comb again and again and again. You must remove every single egg.

The oil serves two purposes: to suffocate the live lice and to slide the nits off the hair easily.

Repeat process in 7 days.

Watch carefully over the next several days to ensure that there are no more infestations. A missed egg can produce a whole new harvest.

Lice is most prevalent among young children since they pass it so easily from one to another. Sharing hats, costumes, stuffed toys, touching heads together, all it takes is brief contact for lice to pass from one child to another.
