Top Home Remedies for Lice You Should Avoid

September 29, 2017

When it comes to finding answers to the questions that haunt us and make us curious, we look them up online.

The world we live in is guilty of some of the most ridiculous Google searches.  But one thing is true; despite being a blessing in disguise, the digital world also has a ‘bad’ side.

In a world where anyone can gain access to the internet, no wonder there are laws for online activities and for limiting certain products being sold.

When looking up solutions online, it’s imperative to be careful. This is certainly true for lice victims because they are often preyed on due to their situation!

Here’s a list of home remedies that you should avoid (like the plague):

Hot Oil Therapy

There’s nothing like a nice spa treatment to take your worries away! However, if you’re using spa treatment for lice, there is something to worry about!

While hot oil therapy for your hair is an amazing way to get those luscious locks, it doesn’t work for removing those pesky critters!

The remedy requires you to heat oil and apply it to your hair. After this, use a shower cap for 60 minutes to ‘seal’ in the heat. This doesn’t make sense because the heat produced is not enough to kill lice, and heating oil strips it of all its minerals. You’ll most likely end up with a greasy Edward Scissorhands look (Yikes!).

Petroleum Jelly

Good luck with this one! Not only does petroleum jelly not contain any ingredients that helps get rid of lice, once you use it on your hair, have fun getting it out!

Not only does petroleum jelly get stuck to the strands of your hair, it can take up to two days to wash out (Eek!).

Salt

Not sure why salt is always listed when looking up home remedies but one thing is certain, it is not effective. Mixing salt and water, creating a paste and applying it to your mane. Not only will it make your skin itch, it can dry your scalp.

Baby Oil and Laundry Detergent

Mixing baby oil with laundry detergent and white vinegar already sounds like a deadly combo. But not for the lice; instead, for your hair and health.

Laundry detergent contains harmful chemicals that can prove to be fatal if applied directly to human scalp. If you have sensitive skin or eczema, it’s best to avoid this remedy like the plague!

Getting Rid of the Problem…Naturally!

Who says you have to give into lice and go bald? Remember that there’s a solution to everything. Sometimes we just need to search for the answers, and sometimes the answers are in front of us.

The latter is true for head lice. Lice removal services are the bane of these pesky critters. This is because they use effective, reliable, and natural treatments.

They also use special combs built with the highest quality materials available. Lice Busters USA is one such service.
