What is a Head
Louse?
Head louse is a type of louse which lives and feeds in the hair of
humans. There are several different kinds of lice, but head louse
can be by far the most irritating. Head louse is common among
children because it can be so easily spread, usually by sharing
hair brushes with a person infested with lice. The head louse does
not carry any disease which makes it virtually harmless, though
irritating, while other lice such as body lice can carry certain
types of diseases.
Head Louse Treatment
Head louse can be difficult to eliminate because they attach to the
hair, probably the quickest way to eliminate head louse would be to
shave the hair off completely. But of course, not everyone wants to
shave their head, which is what makes home remedies for head louse
such a fast and affective treatment. One of the most popular home
remedies for head louse is plain white vinegar, just pour a little
onto the head and work through until all the hair is thoroughly
saturated, allow it to soak for a few minutes and then rinse and
comb using a head lice comb. Also olive oil can be used as well as
mayonnaise, all of which work very effectively in most cases.
Listerine mouthwash can also be a very affected tool to use against
head louse, but like so many home remedies for head louse they do
not work on everyone so feel free to try out as many as you need
until you find the right one for you.
Another great home remedy for head louse is mixing lemon juice with
coconut oil. This will kill the lice and their eggs (called nits)
