Use Tea Tree Oil to Repel Head Lice

Once you get rid of head lice you should put 10 drops of tea tree oil in your shampoo and conditioner bottle, and you will never get it again. There is something in it the the lice do not like, and they will stay off your head. You can also do 10 drops of tea tree oil and some water in a small spray bottle and spray on hats, furniture, seats in your car, etc. I am a firm believer this really works!

Wish I'd known this tip years ago, when my kids were fighting the problem (and the embarrassment!) Could've maybe saved my daughters' beautiful hair that summer. They looked like Sinead O'Connor for a few weeks!

I do the spray bottle and every morning after I brush my daughter's hair she gets sprayed with it. I started that when she started school. 8>)

I would like to add that my podiatrist suggested I use it on my nail fungus. The directions say to mix tea tree oil with a carrier oil such as olive oil, and it will absorb through the nail to where the fungus starts.

Please be careful not to use on furniture if you have cats. Cats can get sick and even die with exposure to tea tree oil. Even the particulates in the air released by the essential oil can cause concern.

I love tea tree oil. It has really helped my rosacea. It's good to know this hint, just in case!

RE: Use Tea Tree Oil to Repel Head Lice

My DD was sent home last year with head lice, and 1 other girl was sent home. The next week, they were both sent home again with head lice, along with a 3rd girl. It was the 3rd girl that musta had it to begin with cause neither girl had it again after that. I am going to get some tee tree oil and put it in my DD's shampoo. Thank you for sharing this.
