    Apply lemon on your scalp for half hour and wash. Repeat for one week. That should be enough..

    Olive oil is good in killing head lice. Apply heavy amount of olive oil on your hair, and cover it with a plastic bag. Keep it overnight, later with the help of lice comb, take out all the head lice. Repeat this after every 10 days.

    Hi,

    For head lice treatment, it is suggested that you can also make use of fresh custard apple paste. Add some water into the paste. You may apply it on your scalp and leave it for an hour or two. Then shampoo your hair with normal clean water. You may have to apply the paste repeatedly for 2 to 3 days to get the desired result.
