Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
• Lice comb
• White vinegar
• Listerine mouthwash (if you want you can use another brand)
• Few towels
• Shower cup or plastic bags
• A couple of towels
Instructions:
Wash the head of your child with the mouthwash, and wrap the hair in the plastic bag. Then, cover with a bathing cap. Leave it thus for an hour. The mouthwash will keep them away due to its strong smell, as they cannot stand the smell of spearmint.

Cover the hair again with a bag/hat for one more hour. Next, remove the hat/bag and wash the hair of your child with a normal shampoo once more. Comb the hair with a lice comb.
For even better effects, spray the hair of your child with a mouthwash once more before going to school.
This treatment will provide amazing effects, and you will also avoid the dangerous chemicals in over-the-counter products against lice, which might enter into the child’s bloodstream and lead to more severe health issues.
