O.K. my Daughter is in first grade, and Five kids from her class went home with lice today, many of the girls she plays with, nurse checked and didn't see anything, my daughter also has very long hair, longest in her class!!!! IS there any PREVENTION I can take so she does not get it????? should I keep her out of school a day or two?
Question about lice prevention?????
Do not keep her out of school. Switch to a tea tree oil based shampoo and that should help. If you have any worries about her getting it apply tea tree oil straight to the scalp and cover with a shower cap for 30 minutes and then shampoo as normal. Lice hate tea tree oil so using a shampoo with this in it is a great way to ward off infestations.
Reply:Keep her hair up in a tight bun. I also use tea tree oil (the actual oil) sold at health food stores. I put it on a cotton ball and run it along the nape of her neck and behind her ears.
Reply:make sure she doesnt hang her coat up with all the other children. this could be a definate way to spread lice. also, check her head often so if she does get them, you can catch it before it gets too out of control.
Reply:tea tree oil works good. there is also rosemay repel. i use it on my daughter. you can buy it at this sight. www.fairytaleshaircare.com for a decent price. the sight also has some good information about lice. don't keep here out of school. Lice is just something that you will have to deal with at one time or another.
Reply:No, it wont help because lice eggs can stay alive for a while and all it takes is one louce egg to infest anyone. My son is in first grade too and his class had it as well, but he never got it so I guess tell your daughter to becarful and perhaps get louce medecine and use it, just incase.

If she has lice, I would reccomend using Lice Goodbye from Fairy Tales Hair Care. It is a natural, chemical free lice treatment. It is so safe and effective that you can use it on your own head or the rest of the families just to make sure they don't have it too and for peace of mind. If you looking for a preventative products use their Rosemary Repel products and your child will never get lice again. These products have natural rosemary, citronella, and tea tree oil. This stuff works, my child's school nurse recommended it to her class after their was an outbreak. I love their Rosemary Repel Leave In conditioning spray because you can spray it on any material thing, not just the hair. You can spray it on bedding, book bags, clothing, stuffed animals, etc. I even sprayed her car seat. Live Lice can live off of a human head for a few days so its imperative to not just treat the head but your living space as well.
