whats the best way of getting rid of nits. l know now someone who has had them for years cus they just wont go away! shes tried everything bless her

Shave off the hair 100% full-proof

shave her head.

Nits like clean hair so if the sprays and potions are not working over the counter, she could try not washing her hair? l find it difficult to understand why she is had them for 2 years and not seen a doctor, it is nothing to be embarrassed about.

loads and loads of headlice treatment available online, just type in headlice treatment less embarrassing than going to local chemist

There is permetrine shampoo, cream. but it should be used every week (not daily). It is not embarrassing, nits happen even to people with very good personal hygiene

l had them for ages because l kept catching them from my brothers. We kept trying lots of treatments but they were only temporary. So we went to the doctor is and they gave us a certain one, we have not seen them since!
Unfortunately, l do not know the name. But you're better off going to the doctor's.

well do this get the nits comb and after you shower comb it and you will see nits you then kill then!!

or go to the doctor and see what they will say!!

tell her to use vinegar after washing the hair


and of course vinegar is very good to use while brush the hair with the special brush.


good luck!



i have very long hair once l had that prob vinegar helps a lot!!!!






VINEGAR! NATURAL AND STRONG!

shave there head.
or use a very strong tee-tre shampoo put a plastic bag on top of the hair and leave it for 10 Min is then wash it out and comb from then on keep the hair in a platt if its long enough.

If the shampoos r not working, try mayonnaise. Cover head in it, & then put plastic wrap around ur head, & leave it on for at least a half an hour. Everything has to be washed. Sheets, pillow cases, clothes, coats, jackets, head bands, & hair ties. Put any pillows, stuffed animals, anything large into garbage bags tied up tightly so no air gets in, & leave them there for several days.
There r some sprays u can get a ur local stores. Spray everything, & vacuum everything.
Repeat process the next week. And again if necessary.

Go to the drug store, and buy this.

She will also need to treat her bedding, rugs, clothes, hair brushes/ combs, and furniture. If she has had them for years, they are EVERYWHERE!! She may have also infested her car seats, your clothing, hair brushes, furniture, etc.

get her to try recommended treatments, shampoos, combs etc. but do not forget to wash / clean bedding, settes, chairs or any surface the head rests on in the house.

That ai not embarrassing. There normal, everyone has had them.

When l was younger l always got them, l used a lot of methods

1) Put tons of conditioner & run a nit comb through ur hair

2) Cooking oil, then run a nit comb through ur hair, cooking oil is good because its see through & makes ur hair really greasy

3)nit lotion, to be honest l think its a load of bull

4) Dye her hair. it sounds strange but that stopped me getting them, the dye actually kills them.

5) vinegar, not sure if that works or my mum just wanted me to smell like a sandwich but she would drawn my hair in it, leave it for a while then comb my hair with a nit comb

tell her to do it over & over again because even if she thinks the nits r gone there will still be eggs

nits r born pregnant as well which sucks so tell her keep at it

good luck

Icky thing those nits

Aside from using nit lotions & potions she also needs to wash the sheets, pillow cases etc from the beds, air the pillows, & mattress, vacuum the house out, including the couch/lounge suite. Then ensure everyone in the house is treated for nits at the same time, after 6-7 days redo the whole process of cleaning the beds, house & retreat hair again. This will hopefully break the cycle.

My friend had problems & just could not get rid of them until she stripped all the beds, washed the sheets etc, & aired the pillows, mattresses, & treated everyone, regardless of them not having any signs of nits, she then repeated the process a week later, she was so glad that the cycle was broken.

l had to tell her several times to do this, before she finally tried it, funny thing is she has not had any problems since. l also told her to ensure her daughters hair was tied back when at school, & apply a small amount of Geranium, Lavender & Tea tree essential oils, mixed with a little olive oil.
