It's what the doctors in Australia recommend and what my granddaughter has had. Bound to be a lot cheaper than some specialised thing which is probably just conditioner with a fancy name anyway.

Over the years, we tried everything. Malathion definitely at the bottom of my list. Up at the top? LOADS of conditioner, a nit comb, and lots of time. That's what the Romans did too, there are nit combs on display wherever there are Roman baths. And it gives time for chatting, which is always a bonus. When you're done, a little lavendar essential oil keeps them at bay for a while Good luck! Joanna 4 children meant nightmare quantities of lice if we didn’t concentrate, as they infected each other.

But then gettind rid of the oil or mayo becomes a second project. The Cetaphil is definitely less of a hassle. W, vegetable oil and even mayonnaise are traditional treatments for head lice.

Had them... more than once. We lived overseas - no cool head lice toxic shampoo. So we used... oil - covered our heads with cooking oils and pulled on bags over them to heat the oil up. Also, suffocates the lice. Takes dish soap to cut the grease and wash it out - but it worked. We have family photo of my parents with their oily heads and bags on head laughing - but it worked!! hopefully the Cetaphyl works. hmmmm makes my head itch just thinking about lice.
