Home remedies for head lice
  • There is no evidence to prove that lice can be caused due to the reasons you have mentioned. They are generally caused due to head to head contact, sharing infected combs or towel or sexual contact.
  • You can follow these natural remedies for curing head lice.


  • Add 2 or 3 drops of tea tree oil to your shampoo. This will prevent the formation of head lice.
  • Apply Listerine mouthwash all over your hair and then cover it up with a shower cap.


    After 2 or 3 hours wash it a shampoo and apply vinegar to your hair and roots. Comb your hair thoroughly with a fine teeth comb. Wash it off after a couple of hours.
  • When washing your hair with shampoo, after lathering your hair with it, leave it for 2 minutes and then wash it properly and condition it.
  • Massage your hair with olive oil and add some rubbing alcohol to it. Lave it for 4 to 5 hours and then shampoo it.
  • After the lice have been removed you can add some peppermint oil to your regular shampoo for prevention and cooling.
  • Add 3 tsp of lemon juice to 1 tbsp of butter and apply it to your hair. Rinse after 15 o 20 minutes and do not use comb for some time.
