heeelp! nits!!
by angpixi Fri Oct 05, 2007 5:37 pm
ive got nits! was hoping to avoid it for a while but no such luck, does anyone know if i can use the lyclear sprayaway? it has aniseed in it, but you only leave on for 15 mins and it works but i asked the chemist he said to ask the hv, when i saw her today i comletely forgot- mummy mush brain!

I’ve read its not recommended and that you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist first, but I think for now it would be best to put lots of conditioner on your hair and comb it through before they start laying lots of eggs x

We use a tea tree solution which is a spray on leave in thingy.
Its completely natural, but again would check with pharmacist first.
I heard about using lots of conditioner too - and leave it on for a while. They cant cling on apparantly!
Good luck!
(oooh, I got itchy head now hehe

i would love to the conditioner thingy but i have dreads, thats why i use the lyclear stuff it kills the ones that are there and then i do it a week later to get the ones that hatch, it always works. theres an outbreak at school evry couple of months and my girls usually get them its rife in schools round here

The tea tree oils is very effective.
However combing through is vital to dislodge any eggs so i don't know how u will get round that one.
Also tips for any other mums - vigorously brush your childs hair each nite when they get home from school because if ur child has got nits during the day at school u can break their legs and this helps to prevent them spreading (this was advise given by school nurse on bug busting day we had during our healthy schools week)

I use tea tree lotion (1-2 drops) mixed with baby shampoo this kills the little buggers. I also put 1 drop of tea tree oil on the collars of the kids clothes to keep nits away.

My kids were constantly getting nits so my friend suggested the tea tree oil on collars. My girls may stink a bit but they are nit free.
