Home Remedies for Head Lice

If you are looking to save some cash or just don’t have the means to get to a pharmacy, some people use products like mayonnaise, white vinegar, or tea tree oil to try to get rid of head lice.

Many claim that Mayonnaise smothers and suffocates the head while the vinegar is believed to help the nits get dislodged from the hair. However, use these remedies with caution, as they have not been proven to be effective.
