How to Get Rid of Head Lice Overnight
If you’re faced with a head lice infestation, you may be looking for a quick and easy solution to get rid of them. Fortunately, there are some natural remedies that can help you eradicate these pests overnight.
How to Treat Head Lice Overnight
- Apply essential oils. Many essential oils are known for their lice-repelling properties, including peppermint, tea tree, eucalyptus, and lavender. Make a spray by mixing 1/4 cup of your chosen oil with 4 cups of water in a spray bottle and spritz it onto your hair before bed.
- Shampoo your hair. Wet your hair and lather it with regular shampoo, then let it sit for 15 minutes before washing it out.
- Cover the hair with a shower cap or scarf. This will trap the moisture in your hair and suffocate the lice.
- Apply a natural lice repellent in the morning. Make a concoction of equal parts tea tree oil, peppermint oil, and water, and spray it onto the hair in the morning.
- Comb out the lice. Once you’ve washed the hair, use a lice comb to remove the dead lice and eggs.
- Clean your environment. Wash your bedding, vacuum your carpet, and put your clothes, towels, and accessories through the washing machine.
