The head lice symptoms, of course, are unmistakable – an intense itching on the scalp and the back of the neck. If you examine an infected person’s scalp, the nape of the neck or above the ears, you would find small white nits attached firmly to the hair shafts.

Home Remedies for Head Lice

1. Massage your head with mayonnaise and comb it after 2 hours. This will kill all the lice and their eggs. Apply a mixture of lemon and butter on your head, wait for 15 seconds and then rinse your head.

2. Apply mayonnaise thoroughly to the scalp and cover the hair with a plastic bag. Leave it for one hour and heat it with a blow dryer for 5 minutes. Rinse the hair and apply regular hair gel. Use a fine-toothed comb to remove nits and lice.

3. Mix 2-3 tbsp of tea tree oil with ½ cup olive oil. Rub the mixture on the scalp and leave it on for 30 minutes. Wash your hair to remove the oil. To loosen the holding properties of the eggs and nits on your hair, rinse your hair with vinegar. Rinse it with hot water after 10 minutes and repeat vinegar rinse twice. Later comb your hair using lice or flea comb to remove any remaining nits.

4. You can make a solution of baby oil or any other mineral oil with equal proportion of vinegar. Apply this on your hair. Once doused with this solution cover your hair for one hour before shampooing it. This may help in reducing the lice due to the inbound properties of vinegar and the oil.

5. Take about eight to ten almonds and grind them to make a paste. For this, add two to three teaspoon of limejuice. Application of this paste on the scalp will be beneficial for killing the lice. Keep this paste for about ½ hour and then rinse thoroughly. This is one of the good home remedies for head lice
