A. There are different ways to get rid of head lice. Anti-lice shampoos and oils are available that you can use on your child to get rid of the lice and the eggs too. You can also use a lice comb; make sure you do it regularly till all lice and eggs are removed from your child’s hair and head. If your child is already infested with head lice, a combination of both will give the desired results. If you are using an anti-lice shampoo, the application will depend on the brand. Make sure to read the label carefully and use the product as frequently as suggested. In most cases, you will need to apply the shampoo twice with a seven days gap in between to ensure all the live adult lice and the newly hatched ones are gone. You might have to leave the shampoo on your child’s hair for 10-12 minutes before washing it off, though this varies from one brand to another. Rinse the hair well and comb her hair with lice comb while it is wet to remove all the dead lice.
