It's hard to douse your child's head with harsh chemicals after carefully surrounding them with non-toxic everything and driving miles out of your way to feed them organic food. With a little extra care you can get rid of lice naturally with zinc. Lice are extremely intolerant of zinc because it weakens their shell.
Things You’ll Need:
- Tea tree oil (online or health store.)
- Nit comb
- Zinc suppliments.(Chewable are great for children.)
- Head and shoulders shampoo and conditioner for dandruff.
- Shower cap
1. Start taking zinc supplements immediately. These are rather inexpensive and you can find them in any vitamin section.
2. Wash hair in head and shoulders shampoo because it contains zinc.
3. Mix fifteen drops of tea tree oil in eight ounces of the head and shoulders conditioner.
4. Heat the conditioner in the microwave for sixty seconds or until it is very warm but not hot to the touch.
5. Completely slather hair in the conditioner. Make sure you cover all hair from root to tip. Cover hair in the shower cap and leave for an hour and a half.
6. Remove cap and slowly comb out the hair with a nit comb. Make sure you only comb a small section at a time. Start at the root and comb forward.
7. After rinsing your hair thoroughly rub three or four drops of tea tree oil into your hair.
8. Repeat these steps the second day.
Good Luck!
