Thankyou Courtney J,i will get there again eventually and start feelin like myself again.With new beginnings come new adventures
SE wouldnt the mayonese cause the dreads to slip and loosin and be hard to get it all out?

its best to be straight that way it works best to dissolve the egg casings but the scent fades slower it wi;l wotk dilhted somewhat but if u can do straight its best tooh the vinagar may sting too if your heads all chewed up badadding neem seed oil to the wash after seemed to help kill em too but also seemed to help heal the cuts and bites..just be aware if u use alot its hard when cooled so it builds up u might need to use bronners or dawn or some sorta detergent/soap to remove buildup Redlock said:

How did you get rid of the eggs?

Faelwynn said:

Drench your dreads in rubbing alcohol and then tie some sort of bag around them (similar to what you would do if you were coloring with henna). You'll have to repeat this process for 3-7 days though, as it will kill the lice but not the lice eggs. Afterwards, make sure to rinse with acv/vinegar of your choice, and you're gravy!

the repeatting every 3 days kills bugs b4 they can lay eggs the vinagar dissolves the casings so they fall offbut u wont really get rid of all the dead eggs or hatched eggs but they'll disapearthey'll do no harm cause u killed everything living by sticking to the 3 day slaughter schedule Redlock said:
