1. Put her hair up in a bun. Get a comfortable seat and a work lamp if your hubby has one, a pair of cuticle scissors and a trashcan with a plastic bag in it and reading glasses helped me.
2. Start at the back of the head and pull a few strands out at a time and look carefully. If you see a nit, just cut that strand of hair and put it in the bag in the trash can.
3. Go through all the hair on her head that way, it may take up to 3 hours at first, but each time will go faster. It took us SIX hours each time to go through our 8yo autistic fd's hair!!!
*Restrict her sitting to one chair and vacuum that chair at the end of the nite after she has gone to bed.
*Do not vacuum your house with the same vacuum cleaner bag as the one you've been using for her stuff. Change out the bag!!!
*Wash her sheets and pillow cases, and PJ's and yesterday's clothes every morning in hot water and dry on really hot.do not mix with your family's clothes.
*Wipe her plastic covered mattress and pillow with a bleach wipe every morning.
*Bag up all stuffed animals for at least 2-3 weeks.
*********Nix and Rid-X and other lice killing shampoos are insecticides!!! Do not use too often as they are easily absorbed into the blood stream thru the thin skin of the scalp.
+++++++++++The products do NOT kill the nits, no matter what anyone says! The nits are ''cemented'' to the hair in an extremely durable 'cement'' sac and the lice product will NOT get into that sac to kill the baby lice, they will just hatch and re-infest your child.
*It is a bit labor-intensive, but believe me, we have never been infested despite having fk that were.
You CAN do it!!!
