RE: Hair Lice Prevention Post by Autumn (93) | (08/27/2006) Profile | Contact Each morning before school spray Listerine water and comb are brush hair. Take spray bottle....add full of water...couple caps of Listerine.... You cannot smell Listerine after it drys but the lice can. Denorex Shampoo! Post By Susabelle (Guest Post) (08/02/2006) When our kids were in school (we now homeschool have don't have lice problems any more) we washed their hair daily with Denorex whenever we got the note from school saying someone had lice. Denorex extra-strength contains coal tar, an old-time remedy for lice. Apply to hair as a normal shampoo, let sit for ten minutes, then rinse and style as normal. The coal tar kills any lice and breaks the laying cycle of the eggs (nits). It is also MUCH safer for your kids than that icky pesticide shampoo, which can be absorbed through the skin! RE: Hair Lice Prevention Post By katvn (Guest Post) (08/02/2006) A good trick is tea-tree oil. Put some in a water spray bottle with the water, and spray it in each morning when doing your childrens hair. I used to work in an outback community where they were on all the kids. They would cuddle me and sit all over me, play with my hair. The spray stopped me getting them. It also made me wonder about the "nits only like clean hair" theory. I washed my hair with conditioner every morning, and didn't get them. Yet the Aboriginal kids all had them, and they didn't wash their hair at all.

My boy starts school this fall, and he hates if I put anything on him!

Since I have been doing this, we haven't had any problems.
