Head lice..... Every parent's worst nightmare. The bigger the family the harder and more time-consuming the task. You guessed it! this is my task as we speak. Let me show you how we beat the bastards!
Those pesky little creatures are getting clever and many are resistant to lice treatments, and who wants to put poison toxins that irritate the scalp on their child's head?
It's been confirmed four out of 5 children have them and no doubt my hubby and I have joined the fiesta too! I have 4 days off work before I begin teaching Summer school. What an amazing way to spend my time.....NOT!
I have researched and now tried and tested an old home remedy to rid our family of these tiny disgusting creatures.
So what are we using?

Apple cider vinegar has been a game changer. Using a spray bottle, saturate hair from root to tip and leave in a shower cap overnight. The vinegar dissolves the 'glue' that helps the eggs attach the hair.
In the morning cold rise hair and smoother in coconut oil or olive oil. This will smother and kill the remaining lice and make combing more comfortable for your child.

Comb, comb, and comb using a fine tooth comb over a white cloth making sure to section off hair into small sections to ensure you are combing thoroughly through each section of hair.
Wash and condition using regular products and repeat combing process.
Repeat all steps after 7 days to be safe. This technique has worked wonders for my family and after next weeks follow up process I hope we will not be needing it again in a long time.
I hope if you are unlucky like us and those sneaky little critters take over your families heads you find this post helpful.
