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?
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
