Things You'll Need:
- Big bottle of Avon Skin So Soft
- Nit Comb
- Conditioner
- Towels
- Hair Dryer
- Dawn Dish Soap
- Patience
-
Step 1
I start by making sure I have something to occupy my little one’s time while I work on the hair. Good things include books to read small toys that fit in their hands. Or a coloring book and crayons (with a tray to hold it).
-
Step 2
Coat the entire hair with the Skin So Soft.
-
Step 3
To keep from dripping I put a plastic shower cap on my daughter.(not recommended for young children)
-
Step 4
Leave the Skin So Soft on for as long as the child can stand. I usually like to leave it on for at least 1 hour but 15-20 minutes should be good.
-
Step 5
Now take your conditioner, wrap a towel around the child’s shoulders to save the clothing from the oil. (this is where the toy comes in)
-
Step 6
Use the nit comb to go thru the hair once before washing. (use the conditioner to ease the comb thru the hair)
-
Step 7
After you have combed the hair once wash with a steady stream of water using your Dawn Dish Soap (or any other dish soap)
-
Step 8
Wash hair with normal shampoo and conditioner. Be sure to use extra conditioner (this helps so that the roots are too slippery to attach to)
-
Step 9
Now comb thru the hair again with the nit comb.
-
Step 10
Blow dry the hair.
-
Step 11
Comb thru once more with the nit comb.
To ensure that my child does not get it back I comb through her hair every morning with a fine tooth comb. (nit comb can be used) I also use the blow dryer quite frequently to help prevent them.
Now that you know how to get rid of the head lice. Good luck. It does take patience.
