Son bought it home from school!!! School did not notify parents of the outbreak! I was furious!!! Their excuse was the child infected was not in his class!

I tried a natural remedy, EVOO, Tea Tree, & Peppermint Oils...did not seem to work. So went to the doc, got the harsh pesticide! (hated it) Then I flat ironed to burn off the eggs/nits. I saw this girl on YouTube flat ironing her class mates with lice hair as a science experiment and won the science fair. Go figure!

Here's a joke...hubby told me to relax them off!!! I told him I'd rather cut my hair!

How long do you have to use the pesticide? I hope the school closed so that they can clean

oooh tell hubby that was not funny LOL

Kids had Wed-Fri off..but the teachers went in Th & Fr. His teacher said they were going to clean and check heads of Mon.

LOL!! I made up my mind!!! He can't persuade me!

When i was little I was always told @ camp that Black ppl cnt get lice bc we put oils in our hair...Well HA the camp counsler was dead wrong!

When I was researching Head Lice I was googling African American hair and lice, every article said African American's usually don't catch lice! Hellllooooo! Our hair is so under researched!!! I feel a change coming though!! With all the YouTube Videos, blogs, communities, "good hair" movie! Our natural hair is being notice and talked about. We got to get Nikki on Tyra!! Take this mainstream!

I never used "grease" never liked the feeling of it but now I use EVCO and EVOO and my friend told me we caught because I don't use grease! LOL!!! I don't beleive that!!

I agree with you 100% much things about our culture is under researched which why I support the online natural hair communities 199% because I feel we (natural haired women) NEED to get this info out there to our own ppl that have so misconceptions about their own hair. Nikki on Tyra Im all for that!!!

ok...I haven't posted in a while!!!! I'm wearing my hair straight!! I miss my twists and twist-out!!!

Here are some pics
Hair Washed and Conditioned Set in rollers and air dried Flat Ironed with ends bumped wrapped up for the night the next morning rainy day beanie

awwwwwwww!!!! i empathize with u, sweetie! i cant say i can relate, but i bet u miss ur fro.... when will the lice be gone?

It looks good!!! I was thinking about a rollerset for either Thanksgiving or Christmas but I'm horrible at wrapping my hair and I would have to roll each night. Love the beanie

They seem to be gone but it very easy to have reinfestation when the entire household had it AND two out of three children are in school! So, I'm going to be on the look out for maybe two more weeks!!

Thank you! I haven't wrapped my hair since Monday night! My goodness!!! I've been wearing my tam!!!

I'm going to do my hair tonight!! Undecided on if I should do twists or a braid out...what do you ladies think?

My vote is for a twist out. Why? I have been doing them recently and have loved the results.

Post pictures when you finish.

Enjoy your weekend!

Your hair looks cute flatironed! I bet you miss the curls, though.
I think you should do a twist out and get that fro back!

OoOoO Pretty shiny healthy looking hair !!

awww..thank you!!! I want some color so bad but scared I'm going to regret it!

Have you ever had color before?

since I was 10, I was responsible for my hair soooo, I used to put all kinds of mess in my hair..hair dyes, sun in, jazzin (sp?), got highlights, cellophane, dark & lovely! I'm suprise I wasn't bald! but now I know the dangers I'm very leary
