Eliminate Head Lice with This Simple, Safe and Natural Remedy

  Lice tend to be a common issue amongst school children. This tiny, wingless insect lives on human hairs and feeds on tiny amounts of blood taken from the scalp. Girls get head lice more often than boys .If you are tired of spending a fortune on head lice shampoos and you want a healthier alternative, give the information below a shot. You will be glad you did.

Listerine mouthwash (off-brands work just fine as well)

White vinegar

Shower cap or plastic bags from the grocery store

A couple towels

Shampoo

Lice comb

Douse your child’s head with as much Listerine as needed to completely wet their
head.Once their head is completely drenched, gather their hair and put a plastic grocery bag, or shower cap, over it and leave it sit for at least an hour.
After enough time has passed, carefully remove the bags. You might be surprised at how many dead head lice are in the bags.
Carefully rinse the mouthwash from their hair. Douse their head with the white vinegar. Reapply the bags again. Let it sit for another hour.
After an hour, take the bags off carefully. Rinse the vinegar from their hair. Shampoo as normal.
Once done, comb their hair using the lice comb. The vinegar helps to loosen the glue on the eggs, so that way you can easily comb them out .
 Lice especially don’t like the smell of spearmint, so you can put a bit of Listerine in a spray bottle with some water and spray your little one’s hair before they head to school.
Not only will your kids be protected, but their hair will be smooth, shiny and great-smelling. Give it a try; you won’t be disappointed.
