Hedrin - New treatment for headlice

Options
Yet another breakout with my 2 daughters has lead me on another trip to the pharmacy.

There is a new headlice treatment out called Hedrin. It works by shrinkwrapping the lice or suffocating them instead of killing them with insecticides. It can be used repeatedly every time you child gets lice. You have to apply it to dry hair, it has no smell at all and it feels like smothering cooking oil on their hair. It has to stay on for 8 hours or overnight. You wash it off with regular shampoo and then comb. Then you have to repeat the treatment again 7 days later. So far we are still waiting for the 8 hours to be up so I will let you know in the morning if there has been any success. It costs £11 per bottle and I've had to buy 2 today because my daughters have long hair. If you have short hair you could get away with half a bottle.

Theres a website on it here:
