Don't remind me.

I used those shampoos and either they didn't work or nobody in my school bothered trying to get rid of them because they never came out until one disgusting night when I was in the 5th grade and they all fell off my head in a regular hair washing.

Here is a remedy from a Father of four. The mayonnaise, the Mouthwash, etc. are limited and very messy. DO NOT CUT THEIR HAIR! I had seen many a child at the schools having go through this unnecessary embarrassment, yet I never saw one of their parents with a bald head. 1)Saturate their hair with alcohol. ( it will sting a little for a short while) 2)Cover their head with a shower cap or a plastic grocery bag tied tight. 3)Leave over night. 4)In the morning remove the cap, as you dry the hair with a towel, shake out the dead lice onto a area that can be cleaned afterwards. What you have done is killed the adults and suffocated the eggs. Now the hair will be nice and soft and the eggs will comb out easily. Repeat the next night just to make sure. No mess, 100% effective. Of course change bedding etc. Do everyone in the home, yourself included. Oh, one more thing, just like the poisons, etc., don't get it in their eyes. I had them hold a towel on their eyes until I tied the bag.

Are you having problems with dandruff? This remedy will work for that too. Although you cannot stop skin cells from dying, you can contain these little burgers...
