We've had a bout of lice in the house - the victims shall remain nameless to protect the innocent.
Forget all the $10-20 shampoo's or prescription stuff that you have to use like 3 times only to have it not work or your kid gets re-infested.
This is a little dangerous but it really works & it is cheap: Rubbing Alcohol
Use a squirt bottle and a super fine lice "nit comb" and start at the roots and squirt and comb it through. Soak it good and put a plastic bag on the kids hair for 1 hour.
Then also dip your comb in a cup of alcohol to clean it off after every stroke. It seems to kill live ones in seconds and then just pic out the nits (I think it kills the nits but not 100% sure). Then just wash your hair and your done. Be sure to check for nits every couple days - Then repeat in 7 days.
Just make sure you keep away from any heat source and esp. any kind of flame! It'd be the end of you. But if you want lice gone - this works.
If no rubbing alcohol is available, Jack Daniels works fine...(kidding - I have no idea)
