We now use OGX shampoo. It's a green bottle threat tea tree and mint. We also have a dry angler spray that has peppermint oil. I hope you avoid it. </p> <p>Also washing alone isn't sufficient everything has to be on high heat. The other alternative is suffocation. Put the doll in a sealed bag. Into the freezer if possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-head-lice#post-2360233 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:00:47 +0000 MrsRcCar 2360233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: wash or freeze. If you freeze it has to be deep freeze for several days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-head-lice#post-2360228 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:58:28 +0000 mediagirl 2360228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: good suggestions, thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-head-lice#post-2360227 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:58:16 +0000 mediagirl 2360227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: she takes her baby doll to school with her. Hard, bald head but does have clothing. Wash the baby and the clothing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-head-lice#post-2360224 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:57:38 +0000 MrsRcCar 2360224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tea tree oil is supposed to keep them away. Everything she takes to school goes in the wash and wash all her bedding and soft stuffing things. Moniter like crazy. Or just burn everything. 🙈😜🙈 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-head-lice#post-2360223 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:57:16 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2360223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard hair up in a bun, dont wash hair and use lots of hair spray/gel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-head-lice#post-2360212 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:52:48 +0000 mediagirl 2360212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tips for avoiding head lice? A kid in my daughter's class has it. The child's parent found it last night and kept her home today but I'd like to know how we can try to avoid it, if at all possible. </p>
