How do you get lice eggs out of your hair?

There are a number of ways to remove lice eggs, also known as nits, from your hair. Some methods include:

* Manual removal: This involves carefully removing the nits one by one with a fine-toothed comb. The comb should be dipped in hot water or vinegar to help loosen the nits.

* Lice shampoo: There are a number of over-the-counter shampoos that can be used to kill lice eggs. These shampoos typically contain insecticides like permethrin or pyrethrin. Follow the instructions on the shampoo bottle carefully for best results.

* Hot air: Lice eggs can be killed by exposing them to hot air. You can use a hair dryer on the highest setting to blow hot air on your hair for at least 30 minutes.

* Suffocation: Lice eggs can be suffocated by coating them with a thick substance. Some common products that can be used include olive oil, coconut oil, or petroleum jelly. Apply the substance to your hair and scalp and leave it on for at least 8 hours.

* Essential oils: Some essential oils, such as tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, and lavender oil, have been shown to be effective in killing lice eggs. Mix a few drops of essential oil with a carrier oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil, and apply it to your hair and scalp. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes.

It is important to repeat the treatment after 7-10 days to kill any newly hatched lice.
