one more LICE question

SO, I used Rid on DS - I was worried that it wasn't working, but this morning I checked and found only 1 nit.



Checked DD head - she had 6 nits but no actual bugs. Do I need to do Rid with her??

i am hoping this is almost taken care of and I won't have to spend hundreds of dollars with a company - although i'm willing to if i need to!!!

I had lice when I was five. I only had the nits because my mother blow dried my hair at night and it basically prevented them from hatching. But they still used RID on me as a precaution. That took care of it though.

Re: one more LICE question

I went through this last year with 3 boys. I have to say it was a nightmare. Be prepared to check and comb through their hair every night for a few weeks. A week after I treated them I got their heads cut very short and that made it a bit easier.

I definitely went off the deep end. I drove everyone crazy, especially my husband lol

Good luck!!

I swear to you.. this is what we heard during our orientation night at school from another mom:

Use a flatiron
They hate heat and it kills them.
Just know they pop when you get them

POP?!! EWWWW but hey.. death to buggies!
I just use fairy tales repel spray leave in conditioner religiously

Re: one more LICE question

THanks everyone . I went to ulta to get the fairy tale spray, and i saw they have a "shampoo" too to treat lice so I got that and did that with my DD.

ANd I will be blow drying their hair!
