Have you ever been faced with head lice? Do you hate to have to go out and buy the expensive shampoo? I know that I did when I faced it with a newborn in the house. Here are some tips that you can use to get rid of them naturally without having to go buy that expensive shampoo.
Things You'll Need:
Items needed will depend on which one you choose.
Straight Apple Cider Vinegar
OIL of Garlic
Black Walnut Tincture or Tea
Lavender Essential Oil
Anise Oil
Tea Tree Oil
Dr Bonner's Peppermint Pure Castille Soap
Olive Oil
Henna
Mayonnaise
Vaseline
Parsley
Plastic Wrap
1
Apple Cider Vinegar, Oil of Garlic, Black Walnut Tincture or Tea: For quick relief, bathe your head/hair with any one of these.
Henna: Use henna on hair. (Will make hair reddish color.)
2
For
Lavender
Essential Oil, Anise Oil, Tea Tree Oil(2-3 drops essential oil in 10 ml carrier oil): Massage into scalp
Dr Bonner's Peppermint Pure Castille Soap: Was hair with soap, leave on for a few minutes and wash out.
3
Olive Oil, Mayonnaise, Vaseline: Cover hair and scalp, wrap in plastic wrap & leave on for about 3 hrs or overnight. Wash hair. You may need to wash hair a few times to get olive oil or vaseline out but these will smother the lice.

Tips & Warnings
My father has used the mayonnaise treatment and it worked for him. Unfortunatly I didn't have these tips when I had to deal with the problem.
The Lavender, Anise, or Tea Tree Essential Oils may cause skin irritation on some people so test on a small area first.
