Ukus (headlice) are becoming a bigger and bigger problem, for our heads. Products no longer work (like the ever-present cockaroach, da buggers get immune, after a while, to whatever we try to zap them with). Plus, they can give you more than just a scratchy head...impetiego, when mixed with ukus, can make for a bloody, itchy mess.
But, what to do?!
Ahhh...but there is one magic, no pesticide, cheap, workable solution...MAYONNAISE! Yep. The same stuff as goes into your sandwich..or on your fishcake, if you like it li'dat.
And...the mayo, with it's egg and oil, will make your hair shiny and so soft...plus, it's cheaper than a saloon treatment.
It's easy. Just glop the stuff onto your head (or the kids' head), massage it in, and comb it out. The little buggers just slide right out, even the little teensy-weensy ones can't hold on. And whatever it is, in the mayonnaise, that makes it acid...lemon or vinegar...dissolves the glue that holds the nits to the hair. Then shampoo, and that's it.
Make sure to have one of those special headlouse combs...the one with the teeth all bunched up, together...the one that will scrape the head, pull the hair, rip off the eggs (nits), and make the victim cry. Sometimes, it takes pain to be beautiful.
Once you've managed to cut their life-cycle...no more mommy and daddy ones, no more babies...by doing this treatment every three or four days, for two or three times -voila!- all gone.
No forget...change the pyjamas, and the bedding, after each treatment...no point in all the pain, just to have the little critters jump back, on to the head, from the pillowcase. You might want to put two or three pillowcases on the pillow at a time, and then just take one of them off, after each treatment.
(if you have a keiki that wets the bed...try making up a bed, with plastic sheet, sheet, blanket, PJ's, and all...then making another one, right on top, starting again with another plastic sheet, etc... The kids goes shishi in da bed...no problem, dey can handle it all by themselves...jess get up, rip off the soggy stuffs, take off the PJ's, and there's a whole new set....Mom can deal with that, in the morning)
