The Hassles of a Lice-Ridden Head: Cure Your Head Lice to Stop Hair Loss
Have you been frustrated by embarrassing situations, like your child scratching his head crazily when you are amongst guests?? And have you been shocked to realize that his head has been infected with the most disgusting lice, and he is suffering from hair loss?? Just a small request to all the concerned parents, please do not ban your child from playing outside in the gardens or those areas where you dread these things might have entered his hair. And a request to those parents who have been blind to the facts, please take care of your child’s health because it is not just your own child, but society around him, that are suffering from these mortifying symbiotic creatures.
It is true that lice are considered to be the most disgusting head ailments one can imagine. People who are affected by them, are looked down upon as though they have been living in the dirtiest of houses which have not been taken care of in ages. Not only that, but the resultant hair loss is distressing for all concerned.
There have been a lot of tried methods for treating lice and hair loss. The most widely used is the application of a proper medicated anti lice hair shampoo - several of these also treat the hair loss issue as well. Considering the persistence of this problem, a few brands have launched some of the most high quality and effective products, which not only kill the sticky parasites but also put a stop on their further multiplication. Also, the most problematic situation that arises due to nits is the subsequent hair loss. Hence, keeping this factor in mind, the competing brands have come up with the best ingredients to suit different kinds of hair and scalps, in addition to the chemicals that help in destruction of the nits. These ingredients will not only kill the lice but aid in the prevention of the hair loss that results. Killing the lice and hair loss prevention go hand in hand.
Some people, on the other hand, prefer the good old home made remedies, of which the most popular is the regular oiling of hair with a few drops of lime in it. It helps in killing the louse, and hence strengthening the scalp and therefore lessening hair loss. One can also use vinegar mixed with mineral oil for solving the problem. It is recommended that the hair should be washed after about 10 minutes, with a mild shampoo and hot water. Carry out this process for three weeks everyday to completely eradicate this problem, and stop hair loss in its tracks.
As the old saying goes, “Prevention is Better Than Cure”; one should always keep his scalp clean by washing hair at least thrice a week and using a good conditioner to prevent such problems occuring. After all, doesn’t everyone deserve lice-free hair and no hair loss?
