I know this is most probably the wrong forum and I presume it shall get moved to health which is fine, but whilst its here people will get this tip I have to stop nits. I know we have some members still at school and some members have children themselves so heres a simple method to prevent nits.
What you need to use is concentrated Tea Tree Oil. When you are washing your hair , before you put the shampoo on add just 2/3 drops of pure Tea Tree Oil onto the palm of your hand with the shampoo and mix them up, then wash your hair as normal. This is the only method I have found which actually works.
My Daughter is 8 and she has never caught nits from school, even though they do have many occasions where they reckon nits are in school.
A bottle of this stuff costs about £2-£3 and lasts for ages.
So anyway have you any tips for anything else which may be beneficial to others?

i'm dreading my littl'un bringing them home...makes me itch just thinking about them :nervous:
lol they are horrible. She had them once when she was at playgroup and someone told me about tea tree oil and she has never had them since.
LOL Sorry
Hey just think in 10 yrs time when you have a lickle Kirsty you will be saying "ah thank you Becks for that advice"
I will never ever have children.never ever.thanks anyway:p
leave a little bit of conditioner in your hair and get someone else (usually mum
That's all I know
Nits prefer clean hair, so I just decided I would remove this incentive. As such, I did not wash my hair. Worked a treat for me
Whenever there is a something going around, I find the best solution is not to wash
ewwwwww!!!!!!! lol.
Apparently if you use conditioner reguarly it also makes it hard for the eggs to kind of catch on, your hair is much smoother so they cant grip on....or something like that
ooooo so u can smoother your kids hair, and rub it into her face, and she wont get nits or spots.!! result! lol.
lmao
