Personnally I now only use home remedies. They work very well, most of the time better than chemical products anyway. Before applying any treatment, it is essential to know more about the life cycle of head lice, as time is a key factor for the success of your treatment. Yes they come back, but the treatment and the combing (this one is a really crucial part of the process) must be done over time. And there are ways (natural ones) to prevent future head lice infestations. Here are a few <a href="http://headlicecenter.com/head-lice-home-remedies" rel="nofollow">home remedies</a> that work.

Better to take some time combing the lice out, than having a child with life long effects from toxic pesticides. Glad you are warning parents about lindane !A good lice comb is the way to go.

Only combing works. The lice are transferred from head to head, and die after a short time away from the scalp. Live lice don't hide in hairbrushes. <a href="http://www.amotherinisrael.com/2009/11/05/le/" rel="nofollow">http://www.amotherinisrael.com/2009/11/05/le/</a>Agree that the toxic shampoos don't work, but the "natural" products don't seem to either. -Hannah Vacuuming sheets and not sharing hats, brushes, and combs don't help.

The only effective solution was the hard-core chemical stuff. I love eco solutions, including dishwasher soap and buying stuff like Burt's Bees soaps and shampoo for my body. The truth is the non-eco stuff seems to work a lot better. In soaps, non-eco lathers well and you can feel it searing the dirt and crap out of your hair and body... of course it's a concern what the other effects are. I try to use a bit of both.

It is hard enough to get rid of the little suckers once, but twice, ugh!I love your tip about using a new brush...kinda the same thing as getting new toothbrushes every few months. The brush is really where lice love to hide, so yeah, toss those out!Thanks!Karen I have to say one of the worst things about getting lice, is if you get it again and again.
