Just rub it into the hair, let it sit an hour, or two, then wash it off (the hair will still be oily, of course). The cheap one time use Shower caps are useful to keep the oil from getting on anything else, but they aren't necessary. This kills the lice with suffocation. Of course, nit combs are still needed to run through the hair by hand and remove the eggs. Then a week later check the hair, and if necessary, repeat. Not that the chemical stuff can't be good, but it's a lot more expensive, and caustic. Anyway, just a thought. Hope all goes well with his trip!Thorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564924243186464304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144627286310639203.post-29323954104621285132012-01-18T00:37:25.649-05:002012-01-18T00:37:25.649-05:00Oooh, the mother-daughter trip sounds AMAZING!

He has shown me pieces of a vision, but not the full thing. My heart cries out to these broken children. Praise God for the work he is doing in you and your family. I am enjoying reading your journey. One day hopefully soon I will be able to do a mission trip myself.The Splendiferous Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914634119269671361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144627286310639203.post-24568644049367972352012-01-15T22:13:08.944-05:002012-01-15T22:13:08.944-05:00Hi Shelly- I haven't had to deal with lice (ye...Hi Shelly- I haven't had to deal with lice (yet) but heard a tip from a neighbor...I believe she smothered olive oil on her boy's head and had him sleep with a shower cap. It apparently took care of the problem in one night. I don't know how helpful that might be- I don't imagine shower caps are in great abundance in Uganda. Anyway, it might be worth a shot if the shampoo doesn't work as well as promised. (Just google it to check my memory please!)
