head lice

my daughter is suffering from head lice and nits. I tried everything from vinegar solution to shampoos and conditioner created for that problem but it's still there and I think it has affected her confidence so much. She doesn't wear her hair in a ponytail anymore. What can I do about it. Do you have any tried and tested solutions that actually worked?

after the shampoo treatment my wife diligently pick the eggs of the lice one by one, it is painstaking thing to do but its worth the result,..

Make sure she isn't picking the lice back up somewhere. Like the bed sheets, anything she has on. Clothes, or anything on her head. Even her bands for her hair in a pony tail. The lice can hide in anything she has on, and especially anything she puts in her hair, or on her head. Lice will sometimes put eggs on her clothes. Not normal, but it does happen.

Hi. I think you can use organics. It's a bit expensive but it will really work out. I hope your daughter won't suffer from lice anymore. :) That's what my sister in law used with my niece.
