Need some great head lice cures right away??

Every mother dreads the day their child comes home with head lice. Not only is it a pain to try and get rid of them in your child's hair, you have to deal with their pillow, blankets and practically every other soft surface in your house!

Not only that, you just know the other mother's will think badly of your child and of YOU!

While these remedies can't cure what other people think, they can help you quickly get rid of those nasty little bugs without the harsh chemicals!

Try one of these tips for head lice cures:

1. Mix equal parts Vaseline, Olive Oil and Mayo. Keep in hair overnight under a shower cap and shampoo regularly the next morning.

2. Wash hair in vinegar. It will kill all the nits in two days.

3. Use equal parts lemon juice and butter and apply to hair to kill the lice. Leave for 20 seconds and then rinse.

4. Wash hair with regular shampoo and then apply ORIGINAL Listerine and leave for 15-20 minutes. Rinse hair, but don't shampoo again.

5. Tea Tree Oil (Remember to ask your doctor before using this on children. Some doctor's don't recommed tea tree oil for children under 18)- Shampoo regularly with tea tree oil shampoo and you will actually repel the lice.
