How do you use tea tree oil to treat head lice? Do you put it on the scalp, add it to the shampoo?

Both my daughters have an active case of head lice. We have tried the Rid and Nix and also the Ovide and just plain olive oil. I have washed bedclothes, bagged stuffed animals, done everything that was possible. Now I want to keep from having the little critters come back. I keep hearing about tea tree oil and how it repels lice. How is it used to combat and prevent head lice infestation?How do you use tea tree oil to treat head lice?

You need to dilute it into the shampoo or water you use by adding around 10-12 drops/litre. Concentrating it will burn the skin.


Repeat the treatment regularly.





Hope this helps.
