Ughh...
This is kind of embarrassing and gross. Ok. So, I think I have lice. No, scratch that. I KNOW I have lice, because my head is itching, and the real clincher is finding stuff in my hair. So you're probably thinking, okay, so just get the shampoo, comb it out, and be done! Not so easy. First of all, I have suspected it for quite some time now. A lice outbreak occurred in my school at the end of April. I was checked and found clean then, but a couple weeks after started finding stuff in my hair. I was totally in denial and told my self it was dandruff, and I was itching because I kept thinking about it. I've decided not to be so naive about it now, and realize that I have it. So, the second issue I have is that I'm on vacation right now. That makes it even more inconvenient to have such a gross problem. I have another example of my naivete in the fact that I actually thought that the ocean water would clean the lice right out, but I've decided not to entertain that thought any longer. So, my question is how do I deal with all of this? I've probably spread it to so much now, like the airplane, the hotel room, all the people I've been around. I've been checking everywhere that I have been lately to see if I see any nits or anything that I left behind, and I haven't seen anything, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Plus, it would be SO inconvenient and unfair to have to deal with lice on our vacation, especially since after Sunday we don't get to see my sister for 9 weeks. What do I do? I'm so confused, and so don't want to deal with it, but at the same time, I just want it to be gone, you know? So, if you have any ideas on what to do, like when to tell my mom, or how to tell her (I know she will freak; I would) that would be helpful. I'm really embarrassed, becuase I know my mom probably hasn't even thought about the lice outbreak lately, and was so sure that we were safe from it. I'm so sorry that this is so long; I just needed to make sure I got everything down. Thanks for any advice you can give.

lol if ur hairs short good, if not then this method is kind of difficult. dont wash your hair for about 2-3 days, i know its dirty but it works, this should get a sort of greasy coating. weat your hair and get a fine metal brush keep combing your hair and comb and comb until its straight and smooth. your hair has to be very wet. ok now find the finest brush you can and attempt to brush the lice out. it may take some time but it worked for me.

Here is a remedy that I found on-line:
INGREDIENTS: 1 bottle of Listerine mouthwash
White vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS: My dughter has very long thick hair and we had suffered head lice for six months, buyingall the chemist remedies,with no effect. My mother bought a book containing household remedies and it said: saturate the hair with listerine mouthwash and cover with a shower cap. Leave for 2 hours then shampoo in the normal way. We did this and it killed all the lice immediately. The saturate the hair with white vinegar and comb with a nit comb and the vinegar destroys the glue that the head lice fix the nits to the hair with. Just comb them out.
I have also read that vasiline works, as it blocks their air hole. You will still need the "nit combs" to comb out your hair. Another remedy that was recommended was Tea Tree Oil, which you can get at any health food or vitamin store. These remedies are designed to help you keep your hair, and not have to cut it off.
It is not your fault that you got head lice. But you do have to tell your mom, you will need her help to get rid of them. You could say you just got them, it is easy enough to get them on vacation, or even from the seat in an airplane, if the person who just sat there before you had them.
Hope this helps
Michele
