There's a place in my town called Lice to Know You I think, a salon that specializes in combing treatments to get people lice free.  Anything like that where you live?

When I had it i used rubbing alcohol. Every 3 or 4 days. For atleast 3 or 4 weeks. That's how we got rid of both my sisters to. ( they brought it from school) dog shampoo works too! But you can only use that like once a week. then put hairspray in her hair before sending her to school. It will help prevent her from getting it back.

Hi,
Have you tried the overnight, olive oil wrap treatment to kill the adult lice? It's an old, home style remedy, but it works!  It suffocates & kills the adults. To get rid of the nits/eggs try a vinegar wrap. There's various articles online that you can research about the effectiveness of olive oil and vinegar treatments.
