Having never dealt with the stuff as an adult before, my friend, Amy, came to rescue me from my ignorance of the matter. We spent 3 days getting rid of it! We used the best shampoos on the market, and when they didn't work, we resorted to home remedies. At one point, we actually oiled Little C's head down with olive oil and wrapped it in plastic wrap for 13 hours! You'd think that 13 hours of suffocating the little buggers would have killed them off, but no! We still found 3 alive! Eventually, we got the job done.
Little C was so upset by the whole thing, but we made everything into a game and she seemed to take it in stride then. Here is a pic of her with her "Queen of Egypt Crown" as we nicknamed it to make her feel better.
She was so upset that she was going to miss days of school, but got lucky as we had several snow days that week. She was able to go back to school by Friday of that week.

We dealt with that for Ash one summer when she came to FL. It was likely on the airplane and took forever to get rid of.
UGH that really sucks. I have had to deal with it on Katia a few years ago but the amazing thing was there were several eggs in her hair but there were no live eggs or lice, I think the universe said this is too much, cuz I am a head case when anyone around has it, I actually treated myself one time because I "thought i felt something" but no one ever found any sign of it.
its nice 2 cover your hair after using olive oil to kill the head lice!!
