Headlice have become quite resilient to chemical treatments, making them harder to get rid of. If the chemical shampoo doesn't work, the best way to get rid of them is to use a natural remedy such as a shampoo containing tee-tree (look in your pharmacy for something labelled a natural headlice remedy) and then just to comb them out with a special very fine comb. This takes a reasonable amount of time and needs to be repeated several times to make sure you've removed all the lice and eggs. If your daughters have long and thick hair it's difficult to do it really thoroughly, so take your time and repeat as necessary so that you get rid of all of the eggs, including dead ones.

There's a treatment by Quantum which uses coconut oil,isopropyl alcohol,ylang ylang oil,anise oil to fight it,includes a metal lice comb.Or buy something called a lice meister that goes through hair easily without pulling or tearing hair which collects nits,and lice as it goes.Two other things you could do is put your daughters a towel under their hair so that a portion of the towel is exposed beneath the end of the hair.The other thing you could also do is use fingernails or tweezers to remove any nits by the comb or use safety scissors to snip out individual bearing nits repeat if necessary.

Hey,
Usually the doctors give you like a special comb to get the eggs out, so...you might wanna ask for one of those. the shampoo doesnt kill the eggs, it only kills the adults,
yea...my sister had it once

I think your lice problem might still be in your own home. Wash all bedding and vacum everywhere! Wash your couches or clean them somehow. Get all their toys especaially stuff animals and dolls washed. ALL they're clothes needs to be wash and throw away your old brushes, combs, picks, and hair accessories and get new ones.

you have to pick them out, i had it once and after my shower with the shampoo my mom took the special comb and picked through my whole head, i know it takes long but thats the only way and when you do that with one then you have to do it with all three girls or else it will spread right back to them and you sholud watch out also, you dont want to catch it do you?

This isin't exactly an answer to the question but kind of applying to it. I used to go to a school where me and my sister's would always get headlice. We used to not go to that great of a school so alot of the people had headlice and we always got it from them. I'm not sure if that would be the cause though. My mother always used to use a comb that would get most of the lice out. You can also try searching on the internet for ways to get rid of headlice. I hope this advice helped
