As soon as you spot head lice, your immediate reaction is probably to dash to the store and snag the first treatment product you spot. However, that’s not the best way to eradicate the buggers, especially if you want to make sure they’re gone for good. Some lice treatment products contain harmful chemicals while others fail to produce lasting results.
Let’s talk about some of the most common ways you can treat lice, as well as why some work while others continuously do not.
Chemical Treatments
Many over-the-counter lice removal products are available at your local drugstore, but don’t fall for their false promises and pleasing designs. These products are typically full of dangerous chemicals like permethrin, which can be damaging to a person’s tender scalp. Most lice removal specialists would advise you stay far away from these chemical treatments. Some users even experience headaches and nausea after using chemical products to kill their head lice, which is not only dangerous, but also completely unnecessary.
Homemade Remedies
Some parents swear by natural treatments you can conduct at home, like coating the infested hair with mayonnaise, oil or spraying it with apple cider vinegar. The problem with these homemade remedies? They aren’t long-lasting. You may see a reduced number of head lice immediately after using them, but eventually a re-infestation will reoccur if any nits are missed and left on the hair shaft.
Medication from Doctors
If a person with head lice seeks medical help, they will probably leave with a prescription for a lice-eliminating medication, such as Sklice. These meds usually come in the form of a lotion that paralyzes and kills the lice. Although these are typically pretty effective in killing the live bugs, keep in mind that they can still contain worrisome chemicals and cause irritations in some patients. These prescriptions also state that they kill the nits, but unfortunately, they misrepresent themselves as that is untrue. Nits can’t be killed — they have to be physically removed from the hair in order to die. If it were that easy, we would all be lining up at the pharmacy for this supposive cure.

The final and most trustworthy option is to seek help from a professional lice removal service like Lice Lifters Treatment Centers. They use a two-prong treatment to eliminate the buggers.
