Onions To The Rescue

Once you are done washing the onion juice away, make it a point to use a nit comb to comb your hair. Repeating this procedure for three to four days consecutively will help you get rid of head lice.

Stir in the lemon juice and apply the lemon juice and garlic mixture onto your scalp and hair. Wrap your head in a cotton cloth and hit the sack. When you wake up in the morning, wash off the paste with a gentle shampoo. Dry your hair and comb it with a fine-toothed comb. Repeat these steps for five days continuously and the lice on your head should be on their way out!
