i had the same problem when my daughter was little. I had dreads at the time. I ended up combing my dreads out and waiting til she got older to start them again. I feel for you sister. It is an awful thing to go through.
My daughter's friend did not get rid of them immediately. So my daughter got them again a few weeks later. I had used the chemicals on her head the first time and a follow up. I also cleaned and sprayed my house with chemicals. So when she got them the second time. I used mayonnaise. I covered her head with a real thick thick thick layer of it ....wrapped it in plastic and left it on for hours. Disinfected the whole house again while i had her wrapped up. Washed her hair really well after and made absolutely sure there were no nits attached to her hair. Had to wash it a couple of times again to get all the oil from the mayo out. But it worked! It was also very conditioning for her hair made it really soft.
But the episode made me really paranoid about head lice! I use tea tree as a preventative.I combed my dreads out..even though I didn't actually have any of the critters.

I know you said no chemicals, but you could bleach your daughters and your head, thats a pretty sure fire way to get rid of them.
other then that i would say use a little rubbing alcohol dab it on your head, some ppl actually use a good bit wear a bag or a shower cap and suficate those little bastards and wash again.
you will have to do this every 2 days to get rid of them, due to there reproduction.
You could try ACV but i dont think thats going to do the trick, i would try the delacet

Thanks for the support, but I don't even use bleach on our clothes or floors and I would NEVER use it on my hair or body! BAd news!! I would shave my head before that, honestly. I really appreciate your consideration thoughI know you said no chemicals, but you could bleach your daughters and your head, thats a pretty sure fire way to get rid of them.

I have laundered everything it hot water+white vinegar+GSE(grapefruit seed extract). My daughter and I soaked in a bath of the same+TTO(tea Tree oil) and left it on our hair, no rinse. we will don this every morning for the next few days and see how we fare. I think that should do it. My daughter is only 18 months old and has very short (baby), white hair--we have no itching since the bath, which is a good sign. Will keep you posted, but I am pretty confident that this will work based on my research. Alos, I think that delacet is discontinued it looked like a good product.
thanks to everyone for your prompt help!
