My Surprising Lice Fix (Not Just Tea Tree!)

Last year, my kid brought home lice—total panic mode. I’d heard tea tree oil could help, but wasn’t sure if it was hype or hope. Here’s what actually worked for us: 💡 Mix 3-5 drops of tea tree oil into your regular shampoo. Always dilute—straight oil can be harsh! ✅ After washing, use a fine-toothed comb to get those stubborn nits out. Repeat every 2-3 days for 2 weeks. 🔔 Over-the-counter lice shampoos are still the gold standard. Do two rounds, 9-10 days apart, since eggs survive the first go. ⚠️ Always spot test tea tree oil first—some folks get itchy or red. If it stings, switch to OTC stuff or talk to your doc. Neem and lavender oil can help too, but tea tree worked best for us. Stay patient—it’s a process! #LiceRemoval #ParentHacks #TeaTreeOil #Health #Wellness
