OK, my daughter came home from school Friday itching her hair like crazy. After a thorough inspection, i confirmed the one thing i was dreading (pardon the pun) - headlice.I have sprayed her hair every second day for months as a precautionary measure with a mixture of tea-tree, eucalyptus and almond oil, but the little suckers have still invaded.Now today, tuesday, my head was itching and i found a little sucker in my dreads (i too use the tea tree spray i made up) so they are obviously immune to tea tree.What can I do to fully get rid of them? Can I get rid of them or are my dreads going to become the mother of all lice nests?Please help, i have come too far now. I know Beks said neem seed oil helps but i need a sure thing here. i will give anything a go.

you could try this method, I generally do it before camping, but you may not want to leave the house for a few days during and after. Swallow a match head with everymeal, your body will excrete the smell of sulfur, wich is hated by all bugs and will kill them. Eat one match head for 3 days with every meal. No more than that, but you will end up smelling like sulfur for a few days.

It's never a bad idea. I just don't worry about getting lice. I mean, I do, but I don't worry that I'll have to remove my dreads because of it. Obviously I worry about the health factors, but I know my dreads will be fine. Helps keep me sane!! lol
