We told the boys that if they got lice, we'd shave their heads. Now, having a girl is different of course but if she doesn't go to school or anything, you could always put that money into really cool scarves she could wear until her hair grows back. I don't know what I would do. I think the idea of bugs in my kids' hair would make me shave them. That's me.

Mayo usually has vinegar in it too.

Quoting odessie:

great idea, did not know listerine loosened the "glue" thats great! mayo is much cheaper though! 

Quoting Quinn525:

When sd comes home from bms with lice, I do a vinegar/ Listerine combo. 20 minutes of vinegar, rinse then 20 minutes of Listerine. They both will kill the bugs and the Listerine also dissolves the glue that adheres the nits to the hair. We always use tea tree oil in our shampoo but when she goes to her moms for a week she comes back with lice.
