[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 65418, member: 77"] Regarding the subject of lice, I must first say how grateful I am that I no longer have small children, and no longer have to deal with this problem. Debbie (now 38), Nechama (now 34) and Bracha (now 32) all had beautiful long tresses, and would not agree to me cutting their hair short when they were all in school. Debbie and Bracha have very thick wavy blonde hair, and Nechama not so thick, but very curly brown hair. And of course all the brothers, older and younger, were also getting lice. After using different sorts of shampoos with pesticides, I decided I wouldn't put any more of these harmful stuffs on my children's heads. The solution was quite simple, but a lot of work. A metal louse-comb with rounded teeth, expensive but worth every penny, was used every evening on their hair, after putting conditioner on the hair. We did that every evening, evening after evening, and it didn't take that long, maybe a week, for them to be completely clean. The really good louse-comb takes out the nits as well. I did it next to the sink, with running water, so that we just rinsed the ugh down the drain. Here in Israel there is a very good make of children's shampoo and conditioner which contains the herb rosemary. Lice just HATE rosemary and won't jump onto heads that smell of it. The shampoo actually smells quite nice and I used to use it too. After that, just combing with the special louse-comb two or three times a week, and using conditioner with rosemary, did the trick. Good luck to whoever needs it with lice. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
