It is so hard to deal with my hair whether I do it on my own or someone does it for me. I don't want to be cruel and mean and hurt my nieces or my sister-in-law's feelings because they are at my house very often. I don't know what to do I'm at my Wit's end I cannot keep doing this.

If I do...I actually have a very bad lice condition. If I don't comb my hair(lice combing) for a week, my hair gets infested really bad and I could almost 50-100 lice in one sitting. There are lots of them breeding in there. When I'm in work and suddenly get the urge to scratch the head, which results in lice clinging to my finger nails and over my clothes. And the nits, there are plenty of them in each strand of the head. I don't have anyone to comb it out of my head. I find it really difficult to comb all of them. Within a five days gap, I'm again infested, the cycle continues. Nothing seem to work. I now desperately look for a way to get rid of all the nits, which would only be the way to get rid of the lice. To be honest, I can't even make a week travel without my lice comb. There are no delousing centres in my place. I want to get rid of the nits somehow,by myself. Please suggest a way.<br /><br />Thanks in Advance!

I treat them and seem to be fine for a week or two, but then they come back with a vengeance, so I'm guessing I'm missing nits or something. Have a decent fine tooth comb, but the biggest issue is that I'm on my own, and can't see my head. I've got hair down to my mid back, and it's really hard to split into sections in the back when I'm struggling to see what I may or may not have combed. Also am quite busy, and only usually have one opportunity a day to work on it for a half an hour ish each time. Ive kept up combing over the months, so they're never out of control, but wish i could be rid of them for good. Any advice for making sure I comb every part of my head?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102793505060561531.post-72204854023287117312018-10-23T14:43:18.556-06:002018-10-23T14:43:18.556-06:00Where is the nearest lice lady to Rockford ilWhere is the nearest lice lady to Rockford ilAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342929054824512967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102793505060561531.post-23465639972155226202018-09-09T06:44:24.940-06:002018-09-09T06:44:24.940-06:00Hi I know this blob was written a while ago so idk...Hi I know this blob was written a while ago so idk if you will reply but i have a question.

I’ve had a huge problem...Hi, I’m Brooke and I’m 16. I’ve had a huge problem with lice for the last 5 months. I’ve had them 4 times and I have them right now for a little over 2 months. I don’t want to tell my mom yet about them because I’ve been planning to cut my hair really short and we’re just trying to find the right time to do it. And I know if I tell her now with my really long hair, she’d probably get really mad and annoyed. The last time she even said “if you get them again, I might shave your hair,” or something along those lines. And I really don’t want to lose my hair!<br /><br />I have been doing something I like to call “lice hunting” which is where I randomly feel around my scalp and if I feel anything that feels like a louse, then I pick it up tightly between my fingers then kill it. But it’s not too effective. It keeps them at bay for a little bit, but the next day or two they get bad again. The most I’ve ever gotten was 12 adults in one day, but the eggs are surprisingly the easiest to get. I could get over 50 in about an hour. <br /><br />But after reading this article, I think I’ll try the blow dry and combing methods. I don’t know how well it’ll work on me, but I’m going to try it out, but on the same day. I’ll wash my hair with shampoo, blow dry, then comb it out using a lice comb from an unopen lice kit in the bathroom. And I do have to agree with you, it is a waste of money on the kits. The last couple times we found live ones after doing what the box said.

I tried the box kit from the pharmacy, but obviously couldn’t see my own scalp, so I doubt it was very effective. I will get the better comb and try the shower/conditioner advice you gave. I am frustrated, exhausted, and disgusted. Praying this works.

You can feel the nymphs and early instars. Only heaps of runny oil like sunflower oil, essential oils like rosemary (dont bother with teatree or euyclypts) and a strong plastic comb will remove these if you have very fine hair. Metal combs remove mature lice and eggs. You cant break the cycle until all eggs are removed. Use baby wipes to wipe comb when combing your hair. Unfortunetly i have had bad experiences with professionals combing my hair using only a metal comb and was told serveral times i didnt have lice or i was re-infected. The truth is you can feel crawling and instars are glued to your scalp. The instars only blow out with a hair dryer and if you look very closely they are light grey and almost clear. They move in water. Hand removal and combing with both a metal and strong plastic lice comb with oil on dry hair is the only way to get rid of them. Conditioner on dry hair only gets the mature lice.Not the cheap $1 comb with pointy teeth. Your scalp can become hypersensitive but if you feel itchy and suspect headlice 4 to 5 days after a professional combing this means you still have lice. If you need med from the dr for your scalp to stop the itch, it means you still have headlice. If you cant sleep yoy still have headlice. Sadly it took me years to get professionals to start listening. It was a very frustrating experience. Lice professionals dont use magnifying glasses and when you say you still have lice, they dont take any responsibility. They get defensive instead of listening and learning. Ps dont use bactrim or ivermectin. They dont work on longterm resistant lice. Get family support because it can make you feel anxious feeling itchy and angry when people dont believe you. Comb for your life!! Good luck and i hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102793505060561531.post-59981524612033380052017-10-06T01:07:02.198-06:002017-10-06T01:07:02.198-06:00I,ve had to deal with lice a few times and I do a ...I,ve had to deal with lice a few times and I do a pretty good job at getting rid of it and getting rid of it for my friends, I know right away when I have it, but whenever I talk to my parents about it they think i'm over exaggerating so I deal with it on my own. I use tea tree oil, cetaphil lotion, etc and it stops the bugs and I use a metal comb so much, but its hard to know that the eggs are out without having anyone to check.marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102793505060561531.post-34718993522406001702017-09-14T20:41:46.248-06:002017-09-14T20:41:46.248-06:00HI sorry about this but this will be kind of long....HI sorry about this but this will be kind of long. So about two days ago I picked a live louse in my hair. I know it was a louse because I had lice twice when I was younger. I have no clue how I got it. I'm 28 and I don't have children. I immediately started treatment because of how badly I felt. I used Nix and I've also used a natural lice shampoo treatment on top of covering my head in olive oil and letting it sit over night. I have thick, naturally curly hair and it's shoulder length. Since I started treatment I have not found any lice. My mother has helped me by combing my wet conditioned hair in sections. The only thing she has found is nits and not very many. She nit combed my hair three times the first day and found no lice (living or dead) and today she nit combed my hair again finding no lice (again living or dead) but I believe there were a few nits she found. I say that because we used the nit terminator comb and washed it after each stroke and I think I saw nits floating in the water but it could just be me being paranoid. She said she saw nothing on the comb or any nits attached to my hair or anything moving in my hair. I was so paranoid that she was just missing them or she just couldn't see them that I nit combed my hair myself right after to the point I was pulling out my hair in the shower and yes I looked at every single pulled out strand and found no live or dead lice or even nits on them. I also thought I saw a louse fall out of my head when I washed my hair afterward but it went down the drain so I didn't get to see it up close. The only thing we have found is that one live louse when I discovered it and nits. I'm so paranoid that I'm missing the lice to the point that I'm checking my hair every few hours to ensure I'm not missing anything. I'm also paranoid to the point that I feel like I have things crawling in my head but when I go over those areas or my mother goes over those areas and pretty much my entire head we find nothing. I trust my mom to know if I have any lice and she says my hair and scalp are clean and doesn't look anything like it did when I had lice when I was a kid but is it possible she and I are missing it? We are very through in sectioning my hair and combing each section twice, close to the scalp and all the way to the ends. We've cleaned the whole house by vacuuming, washed my clothes and bed sheets and covers. We've sprayed lice killing spray on everything I've touched and everywhere I've been. I just feel like I'm missing them because I know they can be fast at getting away. I feel bad for my mom because she's gone along with my paranoia. I only had bad itching three days prior to finding the louse and I noticed a small bump at the nape of my neck next to the hairline. Is it possible that I found it early enough that there isn't any lice aside from the one? Please help...I just need to know if it's possible to have the itching and small bumps on the nape of my neck early on. Since treatment I have not had any itching aside from the feeling that I have things crawling in my head. Again we check every time the same way and find nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102793505060561531.post-76055436152445926732017-09-02T02:03:58.522-06:002017-09-02T02:03:58.522-06:00In A Pretty Girls Head ......Saturday, September 0...In A Pretty Girls Head ......Saturday, September 02, 2017<br />Hello I am currently washing all my bed linen and recently worn clothes , rugs and am freezing hair accessories.

And if I tilt the comb a different way, they don't necessarily look dark. I wipe the comb and sometimes brush it with an old toothbrush, dip it water, etc..but it is still hard to see what I am getting, thus I have no idea how bad my lice really is (I can definitely see when live ones are in the comb though)! Also, there is a place near me that combs your whole head until there are no more lice. You go back a few days later so they can make sure they got them all. What do you think about this?
