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

    Hi, that's a real shame that you've had them for so long, poor you :-(. Your parents should really have helped you get rid of them and sounds like each time you treat them they are not completely clearing. You need to use the treatment and then wet comb with nit comb and conditioner every day for a week and then use the treatment again. Not sure where you are but if its UK then the best treatment is Hedrin. 2 others which also did the trick are full marks and Lyclear. These are all available in boots but are quite expensive. However if you go to your gp it is possible to get treatment on prescription. Good luck :-)

    Get a lice shampoo any store basically and get a comb and lice killing scanner. Shampoo then comb ALL nits . Then scan your head with the scanner that toy can get at Walgreens . Do the same steps a week later. Hope this helps. And do NOT wash your hair everyday wash it every other day. Good luck

    Its not ur hair its your house! U kill em on your head then u lay in ur bed or on your couch and bam u have em again! Clothes blankets dryer for 60 mins. Toys stuffed animals put in closed garbabe bag for 2 weeks. I feel so bad for you your parents should have the house fumigated!!! If it does not work tell a couselor at school maybe they can help

    Stop being poor. Perhaps your trailer is a good breeding ground for them.
