    Head lice can be a huge problem, especially for mothers who have children with heads full of lice. Children usually get them at schools, playgroups and other places. Lice are not easy to get rid of but I have a tested and reliable home remedy which works hundred percent! It will not only kill the rice but will also condition and soften your hair. The following is what you need: You will definitely be amazed beyond words at the results this remedy prodcues. Take the following:
    • one jar of real mayonnaise (usually store brand is best for use and cheap too)
    • a few teaspoons full of white vinegar
    • Hundred percent pure tea tree oil
    • One spray bottle.

    Now to prepare the remedy you should Mix some mayonnaise and some vinegar in a bowl. Mix the two until the mixture looks like cake batter. It should be a little thick but still slightly runny. Then pour about 8 to 10 drops of tea tree oil in the mixture and stir well. The smell of this mixture will be strong but don't worry about it as the smell will come out after shampooing. Now separate the hair into various sections of about one inch and put the mixture in it. You should make sure that you have put the mixture all over your scalp area of the separated sections of hair and then also spread the mixture all down the length of your hair. The easiest way of doing it is to start at the back of your head and go up towards the top of your head. Once you have done wrap your hair up with a clip on the top of your head, if you have long hair and place a shower cap on your hair. You can also use a grocery bag if you do not have a shower cap. Leave it on your head for at least two hours.
    After two hours, rinse your hair with plain water till the water runs clear. Then comb with a narrow tooth comb. The dead lice will come off, so will the eggs, as the vinegar helps in the removing the glue that holds the eggs. Repeat the treatment again after seven days. And you will be lice free!!!!!!!!!!

      Use a 'nit comb' and comb through wet hair. (Use a little force when applying through the hair as this will enable you to reach the head lice on the scalp not just on the hair.
