How to use head lice shampoo
To effectively eliminate lice, it is important to wash your hair with adequate shampoos, and it is recommended to give preference to shampoos that contain permethrin in their formula, because this substance is capable of promoting the death of the lice. Some examples of shampoos to get rid of lice that can be indicated by a pediatrician or dermatologist and that are easily found in pharmacies are:
- Kwell;
- Sanasar
- Escabin;
- Deltacid;
- Stop lice;
- Del-lend;
- Requester;
- Keltrine.
How to use head lice shampoos
The application varies a lot depending on the shampoo that is used and, therefore, it is recommended to read the shampoo label first to identify the most suitable way of use. In general, the use of shampoo should take place as follows:
- Apply the product on dry hair , because this way it is possible to promote the death of the lice by suffocation. If the product is applied to wet hair, the lice can close their respiratory holes and protect themselves from the action of the product. Despite this, some shampoos may be indicated for application on wet hair and, therefore, it is important that the label is read before the application is made;
- Spread the product well over the wires and let it act for 10 to 20 minutes or according to the manufacturer's instructions;
- Rinse the head , completely removing the shampoo, and comb with a fine-tooth comb to remove dead lice and nits. To make it easier, you can divide the hair into strands, so you can be sure that the comb will be passed through the hair;
- Afterwards, wash your head normally , using the shampoo and conditioner preferably.
- As lice can live for up to 30 days, changing from nit to adult louse in about 12 days, it is recommended to re-apply the lice shampoo a second time after 7 days of the first application.
Natural Remedies for Head Lice
To combat the infestation of lice and nits, you can also bet on natural ingredients such as essential oils, but it is also possible to kill the lice with a cornmeal porridge that is placed on the scalp, preventing the lice from breathing. Another natural solution against lice and nits is to bet on the thyme oil that must be mixed with the shampoo.
1. With essential oils
A great natural remedy to get rid of lice and nits is to wash your hair with essential oils and olive oil, because the oil prevents the lice from sticking to the hair, making it easier to remove them with a fine-tooth comb.
In addition, Malaleuca Essential Oil has repellent properties that prevent a re-infestation of lice. Rosemary and lavender essential oils are used to complement the treatment, soothing scalp irritation and relieving itchiness.
Ingredients
30 ml of oil;
10 drops of rosemary essential oil;
10 drops of lavender essential oil;
10 drops of Malaleuca Essential Oil.
Preparation mode
Mix the ingredients in a container until you get a smooth mixture. Then, using a cotton, pass the medicine all over the scalp, rubbing it well, especially at the hairline. Then cover with a cap and wait 2-3 hours to kill all lice and nits before washing your hair with an oily hair shampoo.
After washing your hair, use a fine comb, lock by lock. Between each pass of the comb, it is very important to check if there are any lice clinging to the comb and, if any, they must be removed before re-combing the hair.
Attention: This home remedy should only be used after 2 years of age, as Malaleuca Essential Oil should not be used on babies. Since head lice eggs can take up to 7 days to hatch, it is important to use this natural remedy every 3 days for at least 4 weeks.
2. With cornmeal
An excellent natural treatment for hair lice is a mixture of cornmeal and rue, as they are medicinal plants with properties that help to kill worms, such as lice, and soothe the scalp, reducing itching.
Ingredients
1 handful of rue;
1 handful of cornmeal;
4 cups of water.
Preparation mode
Add the rue to the boiling water and let it boil for approximately 5 minutes. Then add the cornmeal and mix well, preventing lumps from forming. When the mixture has the consistency of porridge, it is ready to be used.
Allow the mixture to cool and apply along the strands and on the scalp. Then wrap the hair in a cap and let the medicine work for approximately one hour. After the specified time, the hair must be washed with plenty of water and a neutral shampoo. For best effectiveness, it is recommended to use a fine-tooth comb to remove dead lice and nits.
3. With thyme
Another excellent natural solution for lice and nits is the homemade shampoo made from thyme, as it is a medicinal plant with powerful insecticidal properties.
Ingredients
Thyme essential oil;
Shampoo with neem.
Preparation Mode
Add 3 drops of thyme essential oil to neem shampoo and mix well. Then apply the mixture to wet hair with a light massage, leaving it to act for 5 minutes. After the set time, rinse the hair well with lukewarm water and use a fine comb to remove the dead lice and nits.
Thyme can be irritating to the skin on the scalp, and you should never exceed the recommended amount, nor use it undiluted.
