Myth: All heads of hair are equally attractive to lice!.
Fact: Lice seem to prefer children to adults, long hair to short hair, and they particularly like the hair of females!. Interestingly, lice only rarely afflict African Americans living in North America!. The lice in Africa and South America have adapted, however, and cases are common in every group on those continents!. Cases of lice are most common in children 3 and 10 years old, but can occur at any age!.
They hate Dirty hair & they love clean hair!. To deter lice wear lots of hair gels, and sprays!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When my son came home with lice, we tried all the over the counter remedies to no avail!. Finally we broke down and called the doctor!. He said to soak the hair in MAYO (real stuff, not Miracle Whip!) and put a shower cap on it for about 30-40 minutes!. It worked better than ANYTHING we tried!
Make sure to wash all clothes and bed sheets in HOT HOT water!. Also any stuffed animals that she has been around should be put in a large trash bag and sealed up for about a month if they are not washable!.
