Vaseline For Lice Tutorial

[@robinmarie8213]

Some people can use Vaseline and it works great. Thankfully, I am one of those people. I got the Vaseline out of my hair by using dish soap instead of shampoo.

[@user-yy9cl9le8x]

Really?

[@robinmarie8213]

@@user-yy9cl9le8x ,yep... The best part is that the Vaseline suffocates the eggs as well, and makes them WAY easier to get out of my hair.

So my kid came home from school with lice the other day, kids catch everything in kindergarten including these yucky things. I immediately took out Vaseline it was what my mom recommended. The way she told me to do it basically did the trick for my kid. I applied it generously all over his hair massaging it into the scalp and all hair strands. I left it on for 10 minutes and after that I divided his hair into sections then used a lice comb to remove them. The vaseline immobilized all the lice and made the eggs easy to slip from the hair and get caught by the comb. It took a while to comb everything off but I went over all sections of his hair 3 times until I felt satisfied they were gone. To remove the vaseline from his hair I washed his hair twice with dawn dish soap. It worked out great. I think most people think vaseline will work alone and just drown the lice and kill the eggs but for me it worked as a facilitator to remove them.

I'm glad that worked out for you. The meticulous combing was definitely what did the trick in that case.

Can you do a video on hair dryers and coconut oil? I heard those are great methods

[@blessingamaechi136]

My daughter return from school today and I noticed lice on her hair....

[@rosannajackson9014]

Does it help comb the lice out with Vaseline

[@robinmarie8213]

It loosens up the eggs too.

[@jillsmith1959]

Petroleum jelly worked for us. 24 hours later they were gone.

[@myliceadvice4403]

I'm glad that was your experience, because lice is terrible.

Hello Theresa, my daughter got lice in school in kindergarten twice, I cut her long beautiful hair very short , and got the lice shampoo on her head every day- not my son - now my grandchild is in school - they told us today there was 1 child in another classroom VPK - I drenched his head ( he has very short cut )- with violets cologne to prevent - will this work ? happy he don’t have any, but I want to prevent it way a nightmare back then with my daughter, thank you 😊 Teresa

This is maddening

[@mysterymissingmurder3609]

They are impossible to get rid of and I can understand that Vaseline won't kill them because nothing does, but since I have used Vaseline, it is not that hard to get out of hair. Comfortable hot water and about three shampoos is all it takes.

[@myliceadvice4403]

Thanks for the tip on how to get Vaseline out of hair!

[@corylittrell2109]

The problem with using Vaseline is that it left residue all over my hair that took forever to wash out

[@Daniela598]

True, I have curly hair and I wasn't able to wash it out afterwards. I tried dish soap, cornstarch and in the end what worked was canola oil. I do not reccomend to put cooking oil in your scalp since it can clog pores, what I had to do was apply it to the mess that was my hair and pray it would work. Fortunately it did, left my hair greasy as heck, but got the vaseline off. Of course, washing the oil off was hard too but not as hard as getting off the vaseline.

@@Daniela598 You have to use baby hair oil to remove vaseline

[@leahdove5552]

My Daughter is actually allergic to Baby oil... BUT... We Haven't Had Any Problems With Residue... I Use a Lice Comb Thoroughly Through Her Hair With Vaseline & Then Let Whatever Vaseline Is Left Behind Stay On Her Head & Hair Over Night... Next Day Use Antibiotic Dish Soap To Strip The Vaseline Bond... Then Rinse Thoroughly With Warm WATER & Shampoo As Usual To Keep Her Hair From Being Too Dried Out & Easier To Brush & Comb Through After Shower... I Skip Conditioner In The First Wash Out... That Same Night, She Goes Right Back To Her Regular Wash Routine & We Haven't Had Any Problems With This Remedy... But 👉 I DO LOVE THE RESULTS OF A VACUUM COMB & IT'S MUCH LESS MESSY & QUICKER TO CLEAN UP AFTER!! 💯 ((And Right Away, She's Free To Go Back Out To Play With Friends In The Neighborhood & They Never Even Suspect We Just Finished A Live Treatment ••Sometimes We Do A Once Over Just To Check & Be Sure She's Lice Free After School & Besides Setting Still & The Comb Being Loud Right Next To Her Head The WHOLE Time... She Favors It Compared To Any Gel, Shampoo, Liquid, Or Strong Scented Oils Because Nobody Has To Know & She Can See The progress Of Removal In The Filter & That's Gratifying Enough To Convince Her To Set Through A Long & Loud Combing Session 😉😁~

[@Stephaniemickle]

Dawn dish soap will get it out. And put the soap in the hair BEFORE any water and lather as much as you can with soap only. Then start rinsing and rinsing and shampoo at least twice after. Skip conditioner.

Nits and lice eggs are not the same thing, but are often confused to have no difference. Nit: hatched egg. White in colour and a bit further down the hair strand. Lice eggs : unhatched egg. Has brown colour (the bug inside still) and is closer to the scalp

[@lnOsente]

All talk no video on how to use or apply.

[@sotosong9182]

She never gets to the point. Everything is about her!!! Awful!!

[@user-yy9cl9le8x]

Pls how can I get rid of it within a month

[@82.lwks2]

[@myliceadvice4403]

I'm sorry you're struggling so much. Hopefully by now lice is a thing of the past. If its not then check out my website MyLiceAdvice.com and see if the step-by-step videos might be a good fit for you. I wouldn't say that its "easy" but it gets rid of them.

[@brandonknight6575]

So how much is this nightmare going to cost me?

[@carolinablue6987]

This seems untrue. I think you have a conflict of interest. 🤔

[@cmonetsevans123]

This is true. Black people don't typically get lice because we use petroleum based products on own hair on a daily to weekly basis.

[@robinmarie8213]

@@cmonetsevans123 , I was going to say this. I don't mean any offense, but Not knowing how to effectively use Vaseline is kind of a white people problem. But thankfully, plenty of us have made videos about it, so our white brothers and sisters can watch those if they want some unbiased truth about the effectiveness of oils on their hair and scalp.

[@fionafornarina]

@@robinmarie8213 Hi, I have learnt already a lot about hair care from black people, so if you can recommend me a good video tutorial about how to use vaseline in this regard, please feel free to do it here.😀
