There are a million products out there for getting rid of lice or preventing them from moving into your hair. Most people who’ve had a brush with them can’t stand the little pests. We’ve had several episodes in our family and sometimes they are really difficult to banish. This lice season (lice don’t really have a season) we tried good old fashioned, aryuvedic neem oil. So if your kids come home with lice try adding several drops of neem oil to their shampoo,  lather into hair and leave for 10 minutes. Then rinse and put some conditioner in their hair to help with the combing and get going with the nit comb. Do every day until you no longer find lice (should be a few days) then every second or third day for about 3 weeks. Yes it is labor intensive but it works and is natural. And it is rumored that washing  hair with a few drops of neem oil added to your regular shampoo will keep them at bay. Here’s hoping.
