What is a good alternative head lice treatment to use instead of the drug store shampoos?

My sister is about to shave her son's head for the second time because she won't use drug store lice shampoos. He is so upset. Does anyone know of something that works so he won't have to go through this again?What is a good alternative head lice treatment to use instead of the drug store shampoos?
Sadly my sister has had lice...don't tell alot of people though. It came from bad expierence in elementry school, but she only had it for a week before we fully rided it.





THIS IS HOW!


1. Get listerine


2. Get a shower cap.


3. Put the listerine in the hair for an hour.


4. Once the hour is up rinse the listerine out


5. Take a fine-tooth comb and some lice egg remover and brush the remainder eggs out.





THIS IS DEFINATELY THE BEST WAY TO RID OF THEM!

Google Nuvolice. We had repeated issues with lice and this finally helped to stop the cycle without chemical issues. You have to be very diligent and follow it to the letter. Good luck.
lots and lots of tea tree oil but its best to put it in a spray water bottle for your hair so that you don't use a concentrated solution. It may stink but damn it works!
This a remedy for getting rid of and keeping them gone. You can use pennyroyale oil, can be bought at a local health food store. Put the oil (about 1 tsp to 8 oz) in apple shampoo and use daily. The nits still needs to be picked out.
Pyrethrins are the active ingredient in most lice treatment shampoos. Dog flea and tick shampoo contains a higher concentration of this ingredient and is far cheaper to use. Use it once a week to keep from being re-infested. Remember to wash all bedding. Heat from the dryer will kill them on pillows,stuffed animals etc. Raid makes a fogger for fleas ticks and lice that can be used in the house for carpets and furniture. I even used a fogger in my car because I was afraid they may be in the seats.
BABY OIL!! and wear a hair cover thingy. it suffocates them
Tea Tree Oil
Mayonaise!!!
We used over the counter, but due to my daughters thick long hair, it was not working. My doctor told me to go buy mayo, cover the whole head, wrap it in a towel and leave on for an hour. Then washing is the hottest water temp you can stand. IT WORKED.





You still will need to wash everything in the house in very hot water and that you can not wash, you need to buy sprays for and personally I vacuumed every day for a week.





Best wishes
rub your hair especially the scalp with gasoline than wash it. also you can use viniger and olive oil.
Use the drug store shampoos. They are non-harmful, and better than the whole family having lice.


Shaving his head won't even get rid of the problem either! Shave his head and then use the shampoo. And keep the damned dogs out of his bed at night.
