my mom would use mayonaisse. I know it sounds gross. But a full jar of mayo in her hair, then cover her hair with a plastic bag (so she doesn't make a mess) i think you keep it in for about 5 hours. the oil suffocates them. or you could just use oil. also some stuff at the store isnt to pricey. as for ring worm i have no idea. when she washes her out make sure to let the hot water run so it doesnt gunk up the drain
