Help....headlice.

4.1K Posts
I need help.
My daughter has nits/headlice and despite regular (weekly) conditioner wet combing we cannot get rid of them. I have bought Sainsburys nit treatment to leave on overnight tonight but I can't afford to do this all the time. Does anyone know anything that is tried and tested to help me prevent recurrent bugs after I clear them this time.
Her hair is always tied up in a bun. I tried ringing local pharmacy about the free treatment available but they didn't know what I was talking about.
Many thanks,

I'm not keeping her home, just her hair is very tied back.
I know its cos I'm missing eggs which is why I am going to blast them tonight, I just don't know what to do going forward as I am reluctant to chemical her hair every week forever!!
Not worried about the time, we leave it on for an hour to suffocate the sods and then sit for about 40mins just combing and brushing onto a white towel until no more come out in the comb. I don't know what else to do.
Sorry, we use tea tee shampoo but it's not doing anything!

She hates knowing she has them (as do I). I'm considering a bandanna!
