 |
Of all the issues that can plague our hair and that of our children’s, head lice is one of the more troubling ones. The thought of having tiny insects in our hair is cringe-worthy. Fortunately, there are many different treatments available for both if you catch it early and if you catch it late. For treating lice, continue on.
Treatments For Lice
To treat lice and prevent it from spreading, you should first find a little more out about them. Lice are wingless creatures that are typically around three millimetres long. This is the equivalent to sesame seed when fully grown. They’re greyish brown and cannot fly, swim or jump. As such, they can only spread via direct contact or climbing from one person’s hair to another’s.
The female lice lays eggs within the hairs themselves and close to the roots to keep them warm. As the hair grows out, it’s quite possible to see the eggs glistening white since they’re still glued with in the hairs. The eggs hatch between seven and ten days later and when the lice hatch, they feed by sucking blood through bites made in the scalp. Then, ten days later, the louse are fully grown and prepare to spread to other individuals.
Generally, anyone can catch lice, but due to a children’s likely head contact with other children, it is more easily spread between them. Lice becomes more common on children between four and eleven years old. To get rid of head lice, you can do so in several different methods.
This treatment needs to be done every four days, three times. Shampoo the individual’s hair, the apply and leave in the conditioner. Follow up with a normal comb and run it through until there is no more resistance. Then further follow up with a lice comb, whose teeth are much closer together, around three millimetres. Run this through the entire length of the hair form root to tips. Clean out any lice it catches per stroke. Repeat for the entire lot of hair, then rinse out the conditioner. Fortunately, it’s an effective method, though time-consuming.
You can also link this treatment with a second treatment; medicated lotion. While the lotion will kill the lice, it may not kill the eggs. Both treatments will increase the chances of everything being caught. The lotion may also be pesticide-based and as such can only be used several times a week and may be bad for individuals with sensitive skin.
