You can end up with lice and nits without having to resort to poisons and drugs that may be harmful to children. The tips are so simple and effective that I made a compilation here to be used at any time. After all, these damned do not send notice before arriving.

1 - Make a mixture of half water and half vinegar and spray all over the hair. Cover with a cap and leave it for 30 minutes. Wash your hair normally. The acidity of vinegar helps kill nits and lice. There is also the variant with warm vinegar, mixed with water from the shower itself. It has a strong smell, it is true, but some in the wash. Not recommended for those with sensitive and irritated scalp, you can burn enough.

2 - Buy a fine comb and pass a line between the teeth on one side to the other, like a zigzag. Wash the child's hair, leave a little conditioner to slide the comb more easily. The nits stick to the line cord. Do this procedure for several days in a row. BOOK this comb specifically to do this.


3 - Mix conditioner with a thick handful of salt, leave it for about 15 minutes, then pass the comb. Finally, rinse the hair.

4 - Important: After every wash it is essential and drying it. This is a shot and fall trick that prevents reinfestation because the nits do not like heat or dry hair (prefer moisture), they esturricam with the heat of the dryer. The dryer temperature should be as if it were a brush making, or hot. For this reason this trick is not suitable for very young children.

5 - Wash sheets and towels with hot water. You can boil bed linen and bath to wash or put in the hot cycle of the washing machine, if your have this option.

6 - Pass the bedding with hot iron to kill any nits, even without washing them daily. When passing the pillowcase, do with the pillow. Another alternative is to put them in the dryer.

7 - tea tree oil (also known as malaleuca) is a natural antifungal. Just put three to four drops in shampoo bottle normal family use. It helps prevent possible reinfestation. It is usually sold in health food stores.

8 - If the infestation is not very critical, no need to keep the child at home. But in time to send them to school, take care to hold their hair or put accessories to isolate the contact with other colleagues, such as caps and bandanas.

9 - Spend combed daily by the hair (preferably metal ones) the duration of the infestation and then make a careful grooming to remove nits possible and most hidden and resistant lice.

10 - And a final tip: Always stay alert and periodically take a closer look at the head of children, especially when you know it's time outbreak in schools and playgrounds that you attend.
