I had lice when I was little. My mom poured vinegar on my head. Don't ever do that to your poor child if he has lice. NEVER. :sad: :sad: :sad:
Edit for typo.0 -
make sure to donate his clothes to the local thrift store

We got a letter send home earlier this year but none of my boys got it, thank goodness. I swear I was checking their heads about 10x a day for weeks.0

No problem! When lice season comes around I only use teatree shampoo in case my clients ever have it. Dont even bother bringing him to a salon either if he does have it. They arent supposed to touch you if you have it. just a heads up. also, try teatree oil on his pillow and in his hats too. wash all linen in hot hot water0 -

My son's school also says to use hair gel or hairspray on our kids to help keep the lice away. Yep, my 4 year old is stylin' at school!0

Honestly, its one of the worst things you can do! The best thing is to not wash ur hair every day. Lice stick, its hard to get them off. If your hair is dirty they tend to slide off.0 -

I just got an email from my son's school that the lower grades have had several confirmed cases of head lice.
If my son comes home with lice, I'm putting him up for auction. That's where I draw the damn line.
*shudders*
I'll trade you 2 lice free teenage boys for your younger kid.
Maybe I'll get it right with a different kid.
Also, I like the shaved head thing. Even if they never have lice, at least they'll be properly traumatized.0 -

Much easier to treat a boy than a daughter with thick long hair! Been there done that, was a nightmare!0

My niece has thick curly long hair.....my sister took about 3 days to try and get rid of her lice!
She tried to come give me a hug and I put some distance between us an gave her a fist bump instead. LOL0 -
My sister got it a lot as a kid, she used to have to cover her hair with Mayo and wear a shower cap to bed! buahahahaha0

It doesn't work!! My ex-husbands kids had that crap for 4yrs.... I hated sending my daughter to see him!! I after 4yrs found that brown Listerine is the only thing that kills those little demons!!0 -

it is traumatizing...trust me...
when I was in grade 5, lice was making it's rounds....I only say this because it forms part of the argument presented to my mother by the hairdresser after the fact.....
my mom, being a busy SAHM of 4 kids, dropped me, and my two brothers off at the hair dressers while she took my baby sister to the pharmacy to pick up some things...
as she breezes out she says to the hair dressers, "Give them all the same"
what she meant was "Give them all the same hair style they got LAST time."
what the hairstylists interpreted was give them all the same hairstyle....
and they knew the two boys were getting number 1 buzz cuts....
i screamed when the razor took off my hair and I realised what they were doing...
i cried until my mother came back....
which she promptly lost her ****....
she said "I told you to give them all the same as they had last time."
she didn't...not really....she didn't finish the sentence....
and the hairdressers said, no you told us to give them all the same.....and it's lice season...so we thought you meant buzz cuts for all...
we think it looks cute....
(trust me it doesn't look cute and no...i have no pictures...I burned them. ALL).
sighs....it really is traumatizing.0 -
Put lots of conditioner on his hair, wait for half hour or so, then use a lice comb to remove eggs and lice. The conditioner softens the glue that holds the eggs and stuns the hatched lice. Then add teatree oil to his shampoo so that it keeps them out. Worked with my kids.0

grossest thing I ever dealt with .....best of luck0

i'm surprised you made it this far without having to deal with lice.0
