The Never Ending Lice Story
Remember back before Thanksgiving when Addy came home from school with lice, well it is back. Actually, this is the thrid round. Despite washing everything we own, putting stuff animals away, washing down all surfaces, and trying all treatments. So off went the hair, and tomorrow we have an appointment with a professional service that claims they can rid heads of lice. The problem is the lice are the same color as her hair, so they are really hard to see. I am not a person who swears, but I have had to hold my tongue. I am exhausted! Do you know how many times I have washed her hair and combed it, or the number of tears shed (hers and mine), and how much laundry that has meant. I am beyond frustrated. Praying tomorrow will be the end of our lice woes!!!

Good luck!
Also if you can, wearing hair in a bun, braids,twists or a twisted/braided bun will keep them away-once you are rid of them. They don't like "tight" hairstyles. They also like clean hair so if you put some sort of styling product in her hair they don't like that...for example a leave -in conditioner.
When the word cane round that lice had been found in my Blessings school I made sure her hair was in a braided bun. We always have some product in our hair(curly girls here) so had that taken care of. I feel for you -my blessing has a *lot* of hair and I knew that if she got lice there would be no choice but to cut it short due to the sheer amount of hair she has. It would take me 4-5 hours at least to comb out nits each time.
Addy sure does look cute with her new cut though :)
