I was reading on another blog that you can put something in your hair every time you bathe and lice hate it. Rosemary? Mint? Hm. Of course now that I want to pass the info along, I forget it. :]Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-58924497814634722952009-03-05T00:14:00.000-06:002009-03-05T00:14:00.000-06:00Ugh, lice.

She had long, thick, blonde hair all the way down her back and we used to sit out in the sun for hours combing those little darlings out. Finally, I made her get her hair cut into a bob and we de-loused every Sunday and Friday for a couple of months. It seemed to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-33303631255271211412009-03-04T15:34:00.000-06:002009-03-04T15:34:00.000-06:00You are lucky.

No, you've got boys & the girl is a tad little to have so much hair just yet. Let's just say it involved a lot of time & tears but in the process I learn a really neat trick. Smother the kid's hair in conditioner. It smothers the lice, makes combing them out a breeze & reduces the knotting problem considerably. I used to get really ropeable because I always looked out for lice & followed proceedure but some families seemed to make it their life's work to pass them along as much as possible.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.com
