  I used to shower everyday until my friend said that head lice likes clean hair, so I started showering every second day. But recently I started showering everyday again ..... I can't stand being dirty....... :-p

  Once a day. 
  Mimi, head lice like clean hair but thats no reason to not wash your body everyday. 
  Being scarred of getting lice is no reason to not wash your hair.  Mimi if ur paranoid about it you should go get tea tree oil at a natural food store or go to your salon and buy Paul Mitchell Tea tree shampoo. 
  Head lice cant stand the smell of it. 
  It doesnt stink though tea tree smells minty. 
  As long as you dont share brushes or hats or sunglasses, ur prolly not ever going to get lice.
  Again though EVERYone should shower everyday. 
  Its only your HAIR that maybe u shouldnt shampoo everyday. 
  People with oily hair should shampoo everyday
  If your hair is dry every couple days is fine
  BUT WASH UR BODY EVERYDAY

  I shower or take a bath once a day.  We have a jacuzzi-style tub, so sometimes I won't shower in the morning if I think my husband might want to soak with me.  I also opt for a bath over a shower if I want to shave.
  
  I'll definitely second starchini's suggestion for tea-tree oil shampoo, and I found it at WallyHell.  IIRC, you can also put a few drops of tea tree oil in a spray bottle full of water and spritz it in your hair as you brush it.  My two oldest daughters ended up with head lice (yuk) twice last school year and the second time around, I learned about lice not liking the smell of tea tree oil.  School hasn't started yet, so we'll see how it works out.
  
  My grandma has always said that it's not a disgrace to get lice--it's a disgrace to keep them.

  I personally shower at least once every day ususally I have one in the morning and if it's been a busy day before bed too!! I don't wash my hair every day though as my hair tends to prefer to be washed only once a week!
  I do miss having a bath as I don't have one :( though for special occasions I have one at my parents house :P x

  The first Saturday of each month, in between I keep my face and hands really clean by washing them with soapy water every couple of days.

• cotteralladams3 said on Aug 15, 2007....

  Two times a day plus washing my face and feet a couple times in addition and two to three changes of clothes.

• the_infernal_optimist said on Aug 15, 2007....

  I prefer twice a day, but I don't always get that second one - it's more like three showers in two days.

  starchini- i already know about the tea tree oil thing. and i do wash my body everyday. and who said i was paranoid? In my comment i clearly state that i am currently showering everyday. And last time i checked, when I shower, i wash my body too. Im not scared of lice either. Its not like if i had it, they would crawl in my ears and suck out my brains! I mean COME ON!!

• ~mimi-~ said on Aug 17, 2007....

• ~mimi-~ said on Sep 18, 2007....

  um yeah you should shower at least every second day......:-|

• anonymous said on Sep 26, 2007....

  Mimi, Im sorry to say this but showers are not going to get rid of the problem. Ive done everything under the sun from staying in the shower all day to mayo and rid. It was horrific. I can tell you, if showers killed lice then the world would have killed them all (and I wish they had). Have you tried all natural products yet cause It was the only thing I found that worked and finished the problem. I used http://www.licekiller.com See if it works for you. Be safe and our prayers are with you
