Bloody head lice

I would just like to have a little rant about head Lice!

Last week child number 1 came home and said Mommy my head is itchy, so I did no more than take her to the bathroom wash her hair and condition like crazy, which is no mean feat working on the basis that she has hair like Diana Ross circa 1980's
Took her back to the lounge and got the trusty head lice comb out and there they were the little bastards crawling and wriggling about, so cue then sitting there for at least an hour and a half combing through her hair checking for the beasties.

Friday night last week washed her hair and we have more of them, so normally I'm a one for doing things naturally and not putting chemicals on your kids hair, but by this point Im a little pissed off to say the least so whack the chemicals all over her hair, thinking right you little nasty things ( or something similar to that) Ill get you this time.

Bliss come's Monday  washed her hair, nothing, not a sausage a general whoop went up in the house and child number 1 breathed a huge sigh .

So that gets  us to tonight bath night wash her hair sit down with a  cup of tea ready to start the torture session on child, what do I find but five of the bloody things in her hair!

Arrgggggh Im not one to swear much on line but I hate fucking headlice!

Thanks for that feel much better now

    I remember the stink of that stuff....and the pain from the comb. I saw ads recently of a new spray on the market.

    I wonder do the headlice shampoo makers sneak around infecting children with head lice so they can make money??

    Try some of this stuff: grapefruit seed extract.

    I don't know if it will sort it out, but it's cheap and a brilliant thing to have in the house. Look at all the uses!

    While I love the idea of using all natural stuff to keep these nasties at bay, I have found only the real stuff works. And now my confession, I used puppy flea shampoo on my bunch. We moved to an area where it was a constant, drove me insane! A once a week washing with the puppy flea shampoo kept them from ever returning and made for nice shiney hair :o) Way cheaper than the lice shampoo and if I recall correctly the same additives.
