Use LiceFree. It kills the nits too. It’s pesticide free. I would use it every few days until they are gone. I used to use it every few weeks as a preventive too. You just spray it on (saturate the hair) and let it dry. If her hair is long and thick you may need 2 bottles.

Best thing is olive oil. You do not need to wash anything they cannot live without living in the hair. Your gonna put it in and leave it on for a night then again on the 3rd day ,6th,9th and 12th. When you put the olive oil in do it on everyone in the home. And comb until you can’t anymore. On everyone. This ensures that all bugs and attached eggs are coming out. Once the eggs are detached they will die.
From a lice doctor this is what is recommended. And it has worked every time.

We had an issue about 6 months before the pandemic, just couldn’t get rid of them and all the normal treatments didn’t work. Vamousse worked, $20 at Walmart
I’ve had that problem before and had to get the Dr to prescribe meds to get rid of it and it really worked.
I work in child care and these are the things most people missed. Have you treated your car? All stuff animals and cloth toys ( including doll clothes) need to me put in a trash bag for 30days. All hair brushes, combs, hair bows and hair ties need to be boiled or threw away. All coats jackets and book bags needed to be washed in hot water and put in .dryer . Use teA tree oil shampoo daily. I hope this helps.
Bag up all stuffed animals in the house spray everything. See if you have a lice treatment please near you an make an appointment … I had to do this when I had 3 girls in the home right after I had my last baby.I was blessed an had a great friend that went to my home while at the lice place an bagged all the stuffed animals in my home for us an stripped an cleaned the beds an vacuumed an cleaned the whole house .I get so nerve wrecking when I just think my daughter has it that I treat her hair regardless at times an she shampoos her hair with lice treatment randomly as well.I put tea tree an lavender in her shampoo an conditioner bottles an we have sprays of the oils an spray beds etc
Mayo with a plastic bag with a shower cap for couple hours upto over night. It kills them and the eggs

when my daughter was in grade 4 she was the only one that was getting them i would treat her, spend hours and hours getting all the eggs out. she would be clean for a few days then she would get them again. she had them 6 or 7 times before i discovered that her teenage sitter had them and that she was infesting the couches at home and at the boys and girls club as well as my daughters bed. she would lay down on all of these and as soon as the couches and mattress was removed and she no longer was at the house they stopped. so you need to find out what she is having her head laid on away from home. if she lays on the couch she has put the eggs in the couch and her bed as soon as you get rid of the bed and couch and find out source you will get rid of them. i even cut my daughters hair from butt length to a pixie cut to try and get rid of them the only way was get rid of the source

The over the counter stuff doesn’t kill super lice. We had this issue. I finally had to take her to the doctor and he prescribed us prescription medication
Vaseline!!! And I know it’s the craziest thing to think of for lice or putting in your hair. I have very thick very curly long hair. As a kid it was also blonde 
I kept lice as a child I’m talking if a kid at the other side of the school got it the principal called my mama. until my mama had someone tell her to do Vaseline we covered my hair in it and put on a shower cap over night took forever to get it out but I have never in my life had lice again. My daughter was having the same problem where she was treated almost every day because we get it all out and then get it again and the Vaseline has worked for us. No more crazy lice treatments

My daughter had it once and was gone in two days. Used blue mouthwash in a spray bottle. Put a cap for an hour. Then used a lice comb and brushed them all out. Then washed her hair. The next day, used coconut oil. Capped it, left it all day Then used the lice comb and they came right out. Then washed her hair. After that it was gone. But I gave her hair a break for a day and did it again for two days. They were all gone and never came back and no one else in the house got it. Didn’t even wash all stuffed or anything other than bedsheets and pillowcases
Mayo and a blow dryer

I always found the best, cheapest way was to wash hair then condition with cheap conditioner and brush it through hair then get a nit comb and comb it through hair removing all lice. Put head down and comb from nape of neck forward then rinse out. I used to check hair once a week and put comb through just in case. I made up a spray bottle of water few drops of tea tree oil and a scented oil ( lavender, rose) just so tea tree wasn’t strong smelling and put that on hair every morning before brushing. There is obviously someone she is sitting next to at school maybe that is reinfecting her.
Mix equal amount of alcohol and white vinegar saturate hair completely tie a grocery bag on head ( to keep heat in ) wait 30-45 mins shampoo out and done Wash all bed clothes dry at least an hour spray entire room and car all furniture and should be done
I’ve used Olive oil/cooking oil and vinegar. Works wonders. The eggs easy to remove with oil . Lice don’t like vinegar. I mixed 1x oil to 1x vinegar. Leave in hair for as long as child handles it. With shower cap on. Then rinse. Shampoo afterwards

Mayonnaise. Real Mayonnaise. Saturate her hair with globs of it, covering every inch and focusing on her scalp. Wrap her hair in a plastic bag and have her sleep with it over night preferably but a few hrs works too. Rinse and wash like normal. Then lice comb and pick out all nits. Use a metal lice comb not plastic. The off smell will go away after a day. This is all natural and actually good for her hair. Depending on how bad the lice are you’ll need to do this again about a week later. And again if needed. No lice treatment is a one time deal. This takes time and persistence. New nits hatch and are hard to see as they tend to match hair color. Most will say they are about a half inch from the scalp but the newly laid ones are actually right on the scalp and hard to see. Message me with any questions
Saturate hair with mayo! Otherwise sounds like she needs a prescription treatment sometimes lice get immune to the over the counter treatments. I have a very curly haired daughter and lice has loved it over the years for whatever reason! Lice free gel has always worked wonders the spray in is great as well leave on for allotted time. Make sure to comb every nit egg and bug out of her hair my daughter always used the lice free shampoo with regular shampoo and conditioner for days after. I washed her pillows in hot water along with all the bed covers and all stuffed animals and accent pillows get sprayed with lice spray home shield and bagged up for over a week! If one egg or knit is left behind they hatch and boom she’ll have them all over again!
My daughters got it so much this year in school I was so fed up but I put all their stuffed animals in dryer on high for an hour washed all bedding in super hot water with lysol sanitizer then I steam cleaned their beds and washed pillows same as blankets. For their hair I used lice treatment and then use lice shampoo and then when I combed it out I used a lice killing spray. Then about hour later when it was dry I sprayed hair down again and let it dry then combed out again. I also put all brushes hair ties ect in boiling hot water and mouth wash
My mom used mayo… it reeked and I couldn’t eat sandwiches for awhile after but it worked

Lice eggs hatch every 3 to 4 days. I would treat everyone and wash them comb through thoroughly. Also bag all stuffed animals/ pillows. Use the furniture spray and then vacuum thoroughly. Repeat combing and washing bedding/ vacuum furniture every three days until you continue to find nothing for over a week. It’s tedious. I would also suggest calling the school and request head checks be done.

Take her to a lice removal specialist, the only way to get rid of them is to comb each out individually 
I have the robi comb. It electrocutes them. If you do it daily, they can’t reproduce. It’s the ONLY thing that worked with my kids.

I’ve used coconut oil and a vinyl shower cap over night when my daughter was young. In the morning I would comb through her hair to pull out as many of the lice as I could. Then I’d wash her hair and rinse with apple cider vinegar to loosen the nits and then comb them out. I would do a couple of nights in a row. Also using a flat iron on dry hair helps too.

use head and shoulders shampoo!
This is the best comb. It could be possible she hasn’t gotten rid of them completely. If some eggs are missed then it can seem like they’re gone if the bugs are. Get a comb like this and go through her hair sectioned off 2x a day. I know it’s tedious but it will help

After you get rid of the lice keep washing your kids hair in coconut shampoo or conditioner, lice don’t like the smell. I never had to deal with getting rid of lice while my daughter was growing up because I always washed her head in coconut shampoo while she was in school, she was even around her friends who had heads full of lice a few times and never got lice.
I believe it’s a peppermint spray a company I paid to help me with my daughters hair and a special lice comb it gets eggs to which the regular one doesn’t they were life savers for me got my money back for the lice treatments in store they don’t work anymore
Flat iron the hair pull it back in a ponytail with hairspray. Tomorrow do it again. They will be gone. Also spray down their coats and hates with hair spray l
Every time my daughter has had it I treated her once and it went away I also picked every single nit out of her hair

Baby oil kills them I promise! Used it on my stepdaughter head over night she woke up in bodies
I used this and it helped after treatments to keep them away. It’s pricey but worked on keeping new infestations in her hair
They sell combs that send an electric current down the hair strand and actually electrocute the eggs and any nits that have hatched out. They work amazingly and don’t hurt the child. I worked in a school and double as the “school nurse” while there and we used these on children that had troubles with them. We would work with the parents to be able to help as much as we could and provided as much support to the families that we could as far as sending treatments home, we would provide an extra , hat, and gloves to the students while at school if their belongings needed to be bombed and then washed if the parents needed us too as well. We worked very closely with all our families if they were open to it and we’re okay with us providing assistance to their kiddos and their family. The electric combs in tangent with the other measures seemed to be most beneficial and an extra layer of defense. They are like $15-$20 at Walmart.

A cheap solution after you treat with this product which is a spray that is non toxic is to put conditioner on wet hair and use the lice comb right next to scalp to tip of hair all the way through to ends to remove nits while in bath for at least three days after treatment. This is the only stuff that works for me.
Did u buy the spray for furniture?? Also all stuffed animals in trash bags for 2 weeks. Wash everything all bedding, jackets, backpacks. But a little of tea oil in shampoo everyone uses. Don’t forget the cars either all seats.

Hold your breath, rubbing alcohol…in a spray bottle…spray her whole room…wash her bedding , her coat…Take the child to the sink and have a damp cloth over her eyes and mouth…put her head up in the sink and pore the whole bottle of rubbing alcohol on to her hair…wrap her hair now in plastic wrap tightly…leave it on her head for up to an hour…it works …
She might have a friend at school that has it and she keeps getting it from them! Not all parents do the right thing with their kids sadly
You also have to get all the eggs out strand by strand or they will hatch. Lice shampoos say they kill the eggs but they don’t 100%

I had this problem when my daughter was small and found out she was sharing her hair brush with a little girl no one else would play with.
There are treatment facilities that do this
Olive oil. Put it on the hair place a plastic bag over hair ties securely to prevent oil from getting everywhere and leave for 8 hours then comb with lice comb. Bugs can survive up to 8 hours before suffocating the oil is thick and doesn’t allow the breather to open or close causing them to die and allows for the eggs to easily slide off the hair. Bonus is hair looks and feels amazing after treatment. Treat everything in the house, blankets, sheets, beds, couches anything cloth with a lice/flea spray (bombing works well) or heat. To prevent put hair in tight buns and use extra hold spray or gel as soon as each get home wash hair first by leaving hair up rinsing the spray or gel out then remove the pony and wash using a tea tree oil or peppermint mix shampoo
They sell a treatment kit now with a shampoo to use to defend against lice! I’ve started making the school buy the treatments if she’s going to keep bringing it home so they get this 1 now😅
My daughter has long, thick hair. She had it off and on for years. Vavoom mouse at Walmart was the only thing that killed them completely. I tried everything.
Once you get all of the lice out. Blowdry the hair (w/hot hair). At least once or twice a day for about a week. It will burn all of the nits.

Honestly, my daughter went through the same when she was in pre-k and kinder. Finally, in first grade I told her that if she saw anyone scratching their head to let the teacher know and for them to go to the nurses office. Of course she went to school and said “my mom told me not to play with her because she is scratching her head.” 
but in the end it kept her from catching them, and we always used prevention measures. It’s been a while and not sure if its still on the marker bur I loved this stuff. It kept the lice gone after doing a total of 3 treatments every 9 to 10 days. And then using this stuff on her.
We always went my kid’s pediatrician and got a prescription medicine for it.

Look at her close friends.
A while back they said something about a “super lice” idk about that one. But I know pure tea tree oil (not sprays or products containing tea tree oil) is something the lice cannot survive.
Wash all bedding and everything she came into contact with. Treat the whole house. Mayonnaise helps. Leave it on the hair and put a plastic cover/bag over it for a couple of hours and wash it out. Comb through and get all the nits out. Put a couple of drops of tea tree oil in your shampoo. And if those suggestions don’t help, you can always call your doctor and explain the situation and I’m sure they’ll send in a prescription lice shampoo. They did for my daughter anyways. Just follow the directions on the bottle before you use it. Good luck!

Theres peppermint spray its supposed to repeal the lice my aunt use to use it in her kids hair everyday before daycare.
How are you fixing her hair for school? Lice out breaks have been HORRIBLE at our sons pre k this year. He got it once at the beginning of the year and our pediatrician gave us medical grade treatment for him and everyone else in our household as a preventative measures and told us to start putting his hair up everyday. (He has about shoulder length hair) since we treated and have put his hair up everyday, he has never gotten it again.
