Leave this mixture on the scalp and hair overnight—at least 12 hours. Comb out and shampoo, rinse, and repeat. An alternative approach is to mix the 15 to 20 drops of essential oil in 4 ounces of rubbing alcohol. Place the mixture in a spray bottle and saturate the hair with it.

Wet combing is one technique. You simply wet the hair and use a fine-tooth comb to remove active lice and their eggs. You'll need to do this every week for at least 3 weeks. Some believe you can suffocate and kill lice using greasy substances like petroleum jelly, mayonnaise, or olive oil.
