I lost my first set of dreads because my 6 year old caught bugs at school. I sterilized the house and picked each nit out of her head. used the shampoo and sprays, but could not check my own head. root follicles look too much like nits. It just drove me crazy so i cut and combed. So i know what you are going through. If I had known about rubbing alcohol I would have done that instead. I had the same issue, was afraid to cuddle with my own child. Realized that my child was so much more important to me than the fear of little bugs. I waited 11 years to knot up again. Hugs to you, it is a yucky thing to deal with.

THANKS For all the replies and support!

Okay, I still have no idea if I have them or not. I guess if the rubbing alcohol/vinegar doesn't hurt, I might as well do it to myself.

Soaring Eagle, just to be clear, this is correct:

Put 70% rubbing alcohol on dry dread, wrap in plastic bag for 30 mins....rinse well, put regular white vinegar on for 10 mins.....rinse well. Should I then wash in dr bronners tea tree?

Do this every 3 days for 9 days

I'm going to start this today as soon as I hear back from you SE, thanks again!

they dongt fly they dont jump they have to climb hair to hair but can latch on quickly

teatreree they hate so use the teatree add extra teatree to the scalp oftento prevent them..if you have them pour 70% rubbing alcahol over the dreads in a bun wrap then in plastic for 30 minor longer the fumes kill em dread but u got to repeat it every 3 days to break the 5 day egg cycle u need to do it at least 3 times in 9 days soak in undiluted vinegar 10 min after the alcahols washed out that dissoklves the glue thsat holds the eggs on

fir the kid instead of rid try vasaline or mayonese cake it on wait 30 minutes then rinse off and do the vineger and combv out repeat every 3 days too wash everything u own spray the furniu8iture clean everythuing anything u cant wash seal in plasrtic bags 2 weeks if they cant eat they die

when you do the alcahol the fumes can get to yoiu too so breathe through a paper towel tube

it will sting bad u will curcse and scream and bang your fist (at least i did) but the sting steralizes and scratches so its good

tearttree oil prevents bugs use it always in yoyr and her shampoo

nem seed oil can be added to the shamopoo too it kills ..everything..even leprocy..any parasites and y bacteria ..it hardens at room temps so heat it up (put the bottle in hot water till its liquid) add a capfull to the sghampoo it ..smells lil bitter an earthy smell some ppl hate but it will kill em along with the alcahol u will see em raining everywhere and find dead ones on your pillow

always use teatree add lemmongrass and eucolyptus to really be sure

Unable to find Delacet but I see this stuff:

Anyone have any thoughts if it is safe to use on dreads?
