New backpacks, clean sneakers, an unspoiled box of crayons...all the tools of the trade for your children as they head back to school. You've made sure they have everything they need; now arm yourself against head lice with natural treatment products.
Removing lice is much safer and easier than it used to be, thanks in large part to a new type of natural treatment products. Still, the best head lice removal product isn't about removal at all...it's all about prevention!
Natural Lice Prevention and Treatment for Back to School Time
The best defense against these nasty critters is a good offense. A little bit of protection, built into your family's daily routine, goes a long way toward avoiding an infestation in the first place.
1. Use a natural lice prevention shampoo.
Simply replace your children's regular shampoo with an organic lice deterring shampoo. Make sure it is free of harsh chemicals, and is designed for daily use. The ingredients will smell wonderful to your child, while making your child's head unappealing to those nasty little lice. You'll be preventing head lice in a safe, natural way you can feel good about.
2. Use a natural lice prevention fabric spray.
Just a couple of sprays in your child's hat, football helmet and other head gear will help keep the bugs and nits at bay. Do this every few days to keep the protection up. Your child won't mind the fresh, natural smell, and you'll have a little more peace of mind at back to school time. (This spray works great for sleepovers too; just a quick spritz on the pillows and bedding adds a layer of prevention to the routine.)
3. Talk to your child about avoiding lice infestation.
There's plenty to remember as your child heads back to school. Along with the talks about stranger danger and bus safety, be sure they understand why they shouldn't share hats, combs, barrettes and other personal items. It's nice to share...just not those things that can put them at risk for head lice!
Back to school doesn't have to mean back to head lice. With new natural prevention and treatment products, this is one issues that won't disrupt your family's routine this fall.
