Head lice infestation is a dangerous thing. It is absolutely imperative to get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise there is the fear that it will spread to other members of the home as well. It is always best to arrest the problem before it takes on large proportions and gets out of control. To answer your question, there is no statistical evidence whatsoever to indicate that head lice affect any race, community or colour of people more than another. It would be incorrect to assume that there is any fact in such a statistic.

Meanwhile, there are some excellent home remedies you can follow to take care of the problem quite easily and inexpensively. Mayonnaise is a very useful remedial measure to get rid of lice. You should rub it deep into the patches where you can actually see lice and eggs nesting and leave it on for 20 minutes to an hour. Wash with regular shampoo. This will remove lice within a couple of days. Another effective method is to apply shaving cream to the scalp and leaving it on for 10 minutes. You must follow this procedure daily for at least a week for it to remove the problem from the roots.
