Nothing ruins a good hair day like head lice—those pesky invaders spark endless itch, scalp sores, and stubborn dandruff. Arm yourself with two potent natural cures that deliver knockout results, freeing you from misery swiftly.
First up: Onion juice and honey mask. Grate two onions, extract the juice, and mix with one tablespoon honey. Apply to scalp for 90 minutes. Onions’ organosulfur compounds paralyze lice nervous systems, causing instant death, while honey seals in the treatment. Rinse with herbal shampoo and comb vigorously.
Witness dead lice in combs within hours. This remedy’s antiviral bonus fights secondary infections from scratching.
Second: Baking soda and lemon paste. Combine two tablespoons baking soda with lemon juice to form a paste. Rub into damp hair, let dry naturally (30-45 minutes), then brush out with a lice comb. Baking soda abrades exoskeletons, dehydrating lice, as lemon penetrates cuticles to kill eggs.
Rinse thoroughly. Research supports baking soda’s mechanical action against insects. Repeat for full eradication.
Bolster with prevention: Daily comb checks, hot washes for fabrics, and tea tree shampoo weekly. These cures shine for sensitive scalps, avoiding chemical burns. Transform your hair health permanently.
