So the night before my husband and I were going to our little anniversary celebration, my youngest daughter complained that her head was very itchy. We were still in line at Michaels , and she kept scratching her head. Oh boy, I thought to myself…. not today, not now!!! Of course I check her hair and saw what I didn’t want to see… nits.
The tiny white egg, shaped like rice.. stuck on her hair shaf. There were a few of them. I quickly dropped by Shoppers Drug Mart to grab 2 bottles of head lice treatment. I wasn’t sure if my older daughter needs to be treated also. I used the one called Resultz Head Lice Treatment.
Quickly used the solution and soaked it in her hair and scalp for 10 minutes. After , rinsed with warm water. I didn’t wash her hair for 2 days. Licboughte don’t do well in oily dirty hair. There was always a myth that only poor people and dirty people get lice. This is not true at all. Everyone can get lice and even clean people get lice. With less oil in the hair, it makes it easy for them to feed and lay eggs, with oil hair they have more difficulty.
To be effective, after the treatment, I used a metal Lice comb from Amazon and went through her head , and combed out any nits. I will then repeat this treatment in 7-10 days incase the first treatment didn’t kill the louse or nits.
Make sure you soak all the combs in hot water for 10 minutes. I washed all bedding, pillow cases, vacuumed the head rest of the car seat etc. Whenever I talk about it, my head gets itchy too. Luckily I am free from lice (relied on my husband to check).
I informed the school and they require the student to sign a form to say that treatment has been started. With head lice, schools can not exclude child from school as it is not a health hazard.
