How do you get rid of lice?!
Question: You go to the local pharmacy or drug store and buy a kit, Nix is the most common brand, but there are several others. Then go home and use it on your head. Gather up all the head related gear-hats, combs, scarves, brushes, and pillowcase. Wash those in the hottest water you can or they can take, and bake them dry in the dryer. Soak the combs and brushes in a diluted mix of water and lice shampoo, then microwave them for a minute or two. Use the comb in the kit to remove the nits, or remove them between two fingernails. Your best bet for total kill is to treat all the human heads in the house, and to repeat the process of shampooing in three day's time. Don't bother with pets, sheets, clothing, mattresses, stuffed animals etc. Lice like nice human heads, and don't live in cracks of things. They don't fall off, and they don't leave one good meal unless another is close by. Don't mess with the old home remedies, they don't work. It's simplier and easier to just use the kit made for the purpose.

Recommend trying alternative method/s 1st before going to mainstream ones like what the answer suggested to you.
get lice removing shampoo and sleep with oil in your hair- look it up in google.
You have to go buy the shampoo and use it. I recommend the RID brand. The generics don't do as good of a job. You also need to wash all your clothing and bedding in HOT water (preferably with bleach).
best way: shave your head
but they also make a special shampoo that you have to use a few times to kill all the eggs. google "lice shampoo"
There is a special shampoo you can buy that kills the lice. No ordinary shampoo can get rid of lice.
Now I wouldn't call them 'infectious diseases', but they are annoying as hell. I had them for a long time. I used to go threw hell every night with my mom taking 1-2 hours with that little comb you have to use to get out the eggs or 'knits' after you kill the bugs with the shampoo. One of my fun's most of had it. I learned, most people don't have it so bad, but if you do, just mix normal shampoo with lice shampoo.....Use it everytime you take a shower. Problem solved!
Step 1 is getting rid of the lice on your head/in your hair. Getting lice shampoo from your local store, or flea shampoo works too if you don't want to buy lice shampoo, but you still need a lice comb. Wash hair w/ lice shampoo, then someone needs to help you go through ALL your hair and remove ALL the lice eggs and nets. Or, shave your head. Step 2 is preventing re occurence via cleaning things your head touches or the lice can live on. Everything must be either cleaned/disinfected w/ bleach, thrown away, or put into a dark trash bag and tied shut for 1 month. Wash all clothes, coats, bedding, stuffed animal, hair ties, etc. Next, disinfect all combs or hair rollers,etc. Trash anything that can't be washed that has direct hair contact. Bobbi pins, rollers, etc. Bag up pillows that cannot be washed and anything similar.
shave head and use lice shampo also wash clothes and bedding in hot water get a lice comb to get the eggs and lice out and put comb in boiling water
