We have lice.

[fadedscars]

I want to cry. My worst fear has been leia getting lice in all that curly hair. I know we both have it. I have to check madelyn when she gets up from a nap.

Any tips before i go to the store?

Also am i an asshole if i want to give her a haircut?

[racheliz]

Look for a good lice comb. It might be easier to comb through her hair wet with the curls? Bag up stuffed animals for a few days, vacuum her car seat. Hopefully she doesn't have too many nits in there. Continue to check her hair for the next few days.

Oh nooooo! Good luck!

[honeybee503]

Nooo! I'm so sorry.

[carawestt]

Oh no, I'm so sorry!

[katfco]

I'm sorry! We've been battling it all summer.
Get a metal lice comb and plan to comb out everyone's hair for 2 weeks.

I've actually found, though, that even lice combs will miss nits. I use the lice comb to pull out the live ones, and to separate it, but I manage to get more nits when I pull them off myself.

[ktstorm]

Oh no, I'm sorry!

[breezy8407]

I'm so sorry! I wish I had advice.

[bean47]

Oh no!

[fadedscars]

I bought everything someone recommended to me. Its going to be a long night.

[ivegotthemunchkins]

OH no, I'm sorry!

[Deleted]

Oh no, I'm so sorry That had to be awful with Leia's curly hair. Not an asshole if you decide to cut it.

[dbe100408]

I'm so sorry. Lice in curls is my biggest nightmare. I hope you're able to get rid of them quickly:

[shevacc]

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this and hope they're gone quickly!

[ashleydl83]

I went through it and even had to do my own hair, but I got rid of them in one treatment. I used a remedy that the nurse from the pediatrician's office recommended, so if you haven't treated it or if it comes back, PM me here or on Facebook and I'll be happy to tell you. Good luck and big hugs. That really sucks.

[thedahliharpa]

Oh, no! I'm so sorry and hope you get it all.

[fadedscars]

For leias it took 2.5. I even cut her hair. I used the robicomb which is amazing. It does a high pitch noise and stops with you hit a nit/lice/dandruff. It was worth the money. I used the pesticide free licemd and washed witb head and shoulders with tea tree oil added. I combed until i couldnt find anymore.

Ive sprayed the furniture and vacuumed everything.

I still have to do my hair and a lot of laundry.

[imimahoney]

If you haven't already nag up any stuffed toys that can't be washed. I think they say 2 weeks it needs to be quarantined.

I'm sorry!

[claralou]

Oh god I'm sorry. Lice in curly hair is the stuff of nightmares. I hope your treatment works fast!

[sandj82110]

I'm sorry, I hope it wasn't too bad and you were able to get all those little bastards on the first pass through.

[charlielove]

Oh no! I hope you're able to get rid of it fast!

[melmon0417]

Oh man! I hope you got it all on the first shot. Sorry you're dealing with this!

[Faevantastic]

I hope you got them all!

[fadedscars]

Ugh am i crazy to think i got them all? I have gone through our hair really good this morning and found nothing.i still want to treat and comb our hair one more time. Madelyn was a hellbeast. I did her hair at 2am. She was still up from her late long nap and i was still cleaning.

I feel itchy and like stuff is crawling on me. I have put tea tree oil in the shampoos and even in the treatment stuff. This is giving me really bad anxiety.

[PatBenatar]

Ugh I'm so sorry. I hope those little assholes are gone for good now

[gamecockgirl74]

Oh gosh!! NO!!! Hopefully you got it all. I fear the day. Ugh.

It's possible you have got them all! I've seen it done a few times. I would retreat in 7-10 days but to continue to comb or at least check her hair. We use little wooden sticks to check to help part the hair, but a pen (or the non pointy end of a scewer stick) will work.

[fadedscars]

I have retreated us. Leia is the only one with anything. I keep getting nits with hers. Ive combed her hair five times today.

Ive done about 12 loads of laundry. I keep telling her she has to stay in her own bed tonight. I cant wait to get the prescription stuff saturday.


Thank you guys for letting me vent.

[TrudyCampbell]

I'm so sorry, I hope it's over soon!
