Removing Lice
Unfortunately, dealing with lice is a fairly common childhood occurance. To deal with it and remove it, first, wash the hair with a strong shampoo that will strip the oils from the hair. Then wash with a commercial product designed to remove lice, such as Rid/Nix and leave on ten minutes, combing in and rubbing in the solution. Rinse hair well. Pour vinegar on hair and let this sit for a few minutes. Rinse, comb, and cut strands of hair with nits. Repeat this procedure in ten days. Do not forget to wash everything that may have come in contact with the lice separately in hot water. To prevent reinfestation, be sure to teach your child the correct practices to prevent spreading - such as not sharing brushes, combs, and hats.
