Head lice are common in children but can affect teens and adults. Lice are tiny insects that feed on scalp blood. Though harmless, they spread easily. Eggs (nits) are colorless and cling to hair, making them tricky to remove. Female lice lay eggs on hair shafts, causing itchiness around the neck, behind ears, and scalp. Social embarrassment can arise due to visible lice or itchiness.
I’ve personally treated my relative’s lice infestation. Despite trying tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar, and anti-lice shampoos, the effective method I found required two things: a head lice killer powder and Taramira oil (rocket salad oil). The oil-softened eggs allow for easier removal. The powder targets lice directly, while the oil penetrates stuck eggs on the scalp.
Step-by-Step Technique
- Wash hair with gentle shampoo.
- Mix head lice killer powder with Taramira oil and apply all over the scalp at night before bed.
- Cover hair with a soft cloth and leave overnight.
- In the morning, comb dead lice with a normal comb and wash hair gently. Keep hair wet for the next step.
- Use a thin, sharp-edged comb with thread wrapped around it. Comb from scalp outward to remove nits, eggs, nymphs, and adult lice.
Some hair loss may occur due to friction from combing wet hair, but this is minimal. Using this method, I successfully cleared lice from my relative’s scalp. Patience and precision are key to completely removing lice and their eggs.
