Lice Treatment
A coconut oil treatment followed by thorough combing helps loosen and remove lice and nits — best used alongside, not instead of, a proven medicated treatment.
What you'll need
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- A fine-tooth nit comb
Steps
- Coat hair thoroughly with coconut oil, covering the scalp.
- Cover with a shower cap and leave on for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
- Comb through small sections with a fine-tooth nit comb.
- Wash hair thoroughly and repeat combing every few days.
Important: Check with a pharmacist or doctor about proven medicated treatments, and check all household members for lice.
