The 7 Most Effective Head Lice Home Remedies

Neem oil. Neem oil is a powerful, but relatively safe, insecticide. Horticulturists often use it to get rid of mites on tender young plants. Look for shampoo that contains neem oil, or make your own by adding about 6 teaspoons to regular shampoo. Lather, rinse and repeat. Use it until the lice are gone, and save the rest of the special shampoo just in case. Combing with a nit comb after shampooing with neem oil is recommended to remove lice eggs.
