Hairbugs

Caroline brought home lice from school a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to my sister-in-law, we were able to get rid of them pretty quickly. The recipe:
Use the regular lice shampoo as directed. Let hair dry completely. Saturate hair with Cetaphil soap and wet-comb. Do not rinse! Blow-dry hair and let the Cetaphil sit there overnight and smother the bugs. Repeat every day for a week or so, then use the lice shampoo once more. Make sure to wash bedding and spray mattresses and such daily.
The Cetaphil makes your hair a little stiff, but not totally gross like the mayonnaise or olive oil remedies I’ve seen.
