How do I get rid of my head lice??!!?

Ok so I have had head lice since I was in year 2 and now I'm in year 9. I have had them for 7 years I find this has discounting as you are finding it. I have tried EVERYTHING: KP24, theatre, conditioner, steaming, and other types of lice remove treatments. I really want to be a model and my dad says I can't because no make up artist would want to touch my hair... I am a girl and I have hair that goes down to my shoulder blades but I have had a bob before. Please help me!!!!

Ps I am not willing to shave my head

    This is the most effective way to remove many lice quickly.

    Apply mayonnaise all over your head and massage in well. Wrap your head in a towel like a turban, and keep the mayonnaise in all day (you'll have to stay home). After about 12 hours, rinse well and wash your hair. Repeat again the next day to ensure all lice are gone.

    Good luck!

    Wash your hair a lot. Lice dont like water so washing everyday( if caucasian) or washing every two days ( if african american) should help. If that doesnt work, just simply perm/relax your hair. FYI dont share anything with others that go in your hair. Dont let anyone share anything with you.
