I tried this, the vinegar did kill them, wet your hair in the vinegar and leave a shower cap on for couple of hours, not only did it kill them, the nits dislodged and came off into the comb very easly

∙ 10y agoNot that I know of. When I had head lice I tried every medication out there like Nix, and all that, but it didn't work. If you want to get rid of them, put mayonnaise in your hair, and put on a shower cap. Leave it on for 2-3 hours, and then rinse and comb your hair thoroughly. You'll find that all white eggs have turned brown, and you might even find dead adult bugs. The mayo suffocates the lice.

Depending on your child's age or gender you can perm the child's hair just to be safe because perm's have a chemical to kill the eggs.
Vinegar loosens the glue on the nits to help get them out of your hair.

∙ 14y agoNo. Oil, or mayo, crisco, etc., will immobilize the live lice and left on for 2 hours will smother them; however, you must thereafter comb/pick them out, plus their nits/eggs. You must remove EVERY egg, or the viable ones can hatch and reinfest. Vinegar AFTER can help to loosen the nits, which are stuck to the individual hairs, but the vinegar doesn't kill the eggs either. You must manually remove the eggs with a comb or by picking them off with your hands.

No. You need a product made specifically for killing the lice, and you need to wash ALL bed linens, hats, scarves, etc., in very hot water to prevent reinfestation.

For items that can't be washed or run through a hot dryer, hang them on a clothes line in the hot sun for several hours.

Does chlorine kill head lice?
I dunno, but I honesty wouldn't try!Chlorine from a swimming pool will not kill lice.They can shut down their respiratory system for over 10 hours.If you put chlorine on your childs hair it isn't safe!You are much better off to put conditioner and olive oil to the head to suffocate the live lice.Then you can immobilize them and comb them out. One doesn't need harsh chemicals to kill lice.They need to be suffocated by something thick,then combed out!All nits must be removed as well or lice will return!www.myhairhelpers.comI'm not sure, but if it does, it would be needed in high concentration which would damage the hair. I read in ascientific journal that blow-dryin your hair can kill lice by drying them up...it might but it will damage your hairYes chlorine can kill the head lice and can even corrode the hairsNo it doesn't. It's probably possible that chlorine could kill lice, but it would have to be in such high concentrations that it would seriously hurt a human. And, unfortunately, lice can hold their breath in water so you can't really drown them either.Well, for one, it depends on how long you are in that pool. If you hang out in that pool for 3 hours, they most likely already drowned. Chlorine itself can kill lice eggs, and lice, but then again, the amount of diluted chlorine in pools, mixed with other chemicals, just leads to only a few actually dying. There isn't enough chlorine in standardized american pools to kill lice.Yes it could because chlorine is to strong for them to handle so eventually they will die.Chlorine from pools will NOT kill lice bugs but it can kill the nits, the lice eggs, because the chemicals are too much pressure so they'll never hatch and die. But the lice will still live.
