How do i get rid of head lice without cutting hair?

Head Lice: Lice is a common parasite that is treated with special medications. There are over the counter and prescription medications that if taken properly, will cure the condition.

Mostly Agree: Agree with dr. Bolhack. I would add that if the over the counter medicines don't work, you may need a prescription medicine. Some lice are resistant. Additionally, you can't cure this condition unless you get rid of all the nits, unfortunately. You just have to pick and comb them out.

Rid, ovide: Rid is an over the counter medicine to kill lice. A prescription product which both kills lice and loosens eggs is void. Someone has to mechanically comb out the dead eggs. Vinegar on a cotton ball may help in loosening eggs. If a few eggs are stuck then cutting individual hairs can bevdone to complete process.

Head LICE: You can treat head lice with following over the conter medicines.Nix shampoo, a-100, pronto, r&c, rid, triple x.If these do not work then priscription like lindane shampoo, melathione lotion0.5%, and benzyl alcohol lotion.You have to tell the mother to use a special comb to get rid of the nits.Or in resistant cases stromectal orally, or natroba (spinosad) 0.9% lotion apply to scalp for ten minutes.These are the opt.

Don't need to cut : your hair.Tx of lice requires accurate identification of nits & lice. Pediculicide is usually used- OTC like Nix or RID or prescription meds like lindane or malathion. Work through hair & remove individual nits. Purchase special lice nit comb. Check for nits & remove as seen over next 7 to 10 days. If there are nits after 7 to 10 days – a 2nd pediculicide tx may be needed. Wash clothing
