Peppermint shampoo helps to detour them. So does product… Gel, hair spray, etc. Don’t forget to put up all stuffed animals in an airtight bag in a closet or dark room for 4 weeks also. Vacuum the floor and soft chairs as well.
Oil your hair too. Lice can’t hold onto oily hair they grip better to clean hair.
I like to put some lavander, tea tree and peppermint oil in coconut oil for my hair.
Peppermint and lavender oil with a little dish soap in water I spray around my house as a natural deterrent.
The comb that comes with the kit is useless.
Get you a better one and retreat in 7 days
Ivermectin is the best lice
Killer bar none. It’s cheap at tractor supply
When my sis was a kid she caught it and using GLOBS of Vaseline, I sectioned her hair off exactly as the pic below, then I blow dried that shit till she said her head was burning lol then I wrapped two plastic grocery bags over head and did another quick blow dry around the bags and then she left it like that for 24 hours then we washed and rinsed then went through it with lice shampoo and the fine comb repeated and it was gone
It’s tedious work but I think it works best of you do it in small tight sections
Pick the eggs off of the shaft of the hair. The comb will miss the majority of them.
Tea tree oil, about 10-15 drops, in coconut oil. Comb it through with a lice comb and leave in overnight. It will make your hair in fantastic condition and the lice will be gone in a week. Do it daily for two weeks, just in case, but it works. Used it on my daughter’s head for her first lice outbreak.
I worked at a school and had to deal with lice checking. The COMBS do NOT work .you have to pick the nits out
Lice can hold their breath for 8 hours. Treat with mayo or coconut oil with tea tree added to it. wrap your hear in plastic wrap and leave on for over 8 hours. Shampoo and use vinegar to rinse Lice don’t like tea tree or coconut oil, They also don’t like vinegar.
He scratches because head lice do bite so keep checking and treating at lease twice
You have to bag all stuffed animals…wash all bedding …
Vacuum daily .
You can’t just wash hair with special soap and expect it to be gone…if in the house then you have to deal with the house also…ohhh and when you bag tie tight… leave for like 3 werks
We had it quite a bit growing up as kids even teenagers. We went and got it professionally treated once then I just went through my hair every night after I showered with the nit comb. The lice can definitely adapt to the shampoos so they aren’t exactly effective.
He’s probably still having allergic reaction to the bites… Give it few days in mean the maybe little Benadryl for the itch? Also they make LiceFreee spelled just like that in spray and shampoo best stuff ever

Tea tree oil is your friend. Lots of home remedies but checking for nits on a schedule is what you have to do. Shave that boys hair, would be the easiest for him.
This is very weird but I had lice when I was younger and we used tomato soup in our hair to get rid of it! 
I use vamousse on my daughters hair and it worked great, you can get it at walmart, target…it worked wayyyy better then NiX the comb is way better too
Put tea tree oil in your shampoo as a preventative measure.
Soak your hair in conditioner while in the shower and run the comb through heaps just have to keep doing it unfortunately, I do my daughter most nights in the bath
Tea tree oil will help! I don’t believe it kills them but it deters them
He may still be itching because of the bites left behind from the lice…
Make sure you’re getting the bedding stuff too you can get it with the hair kits just spray the bed and take off all bedding you need to take stuffed animals out too and vacuum
Use tea tree oil. Gets rid of it all in the hair
Use mayonnaise and put a shower cap on their heads for a few hours , it will suffocate them
To prevent head lice get a shampoo with tea tree oil, and as they leave the house daily use a tea tree oil spray. To help get the nits ( probably what’s causing the itching) use coconut oil on the hair overnight with a shower cap
Tea tree oil helps keep them away as well as get rid of em
Little bit of tea tree oil and coconut shanpoo
