Does an anti lice shampoo kilss the eggs of lice too??

hi i have head lice , i want to ask that i have heard that there are anti lice lotions in the market and they cn kill head lice butim not sure is eggs will be killed too?Does an anti lice shampoo kilss the eggs of lice too??
Yes, most of them do get rid of the eggs as well. Just make sure to follow the directions on the bottle so that you are getting the proper amount of treatments. If your scalp feels itchy after you have done the treatments, go to your dr. to make sure they are gone. If you are a guy, the best thing you can do is to shave your head... if you are a girl, I understand not wanting to loose your hair. Good luck hun, this is an icky situation.Does an anti lice shampoo kilss the eggs of lice too??
best thing to do .. go bald
Lyclear does and fullmarks


just check the box or ask the pharmacy i have headlice a lot cus of the children i work with. nothin to be embarssed about and dont let anyone tel u other wise.


u usually have to do treatments agen after 7 days wen any missed eggs will hatch agen. also go thru hair with the nit comb evry other day with lots of conditioner so eggs come out easily.


most treatments kill eggs to but make sure u check cus they will hatch more,check ur families hair too as they cud have them.





oh and also to the comment above headlice DO NOT AND CANNOT live off the head so scrubbin and cleanin ur whole house realy is a crazy idea....maybe change ur towels but seriosly lice cant fly and they cant jump they just run and they realy are rather daft out of hair, they dont live long, the eggs live a little longer but its virtually impossible for them to attach themselves onto anythin once they are off a hair.
Look for a product called NIX, it should take care of everything for you.
Yes, that is their purpose. Do wash all your towels and bedding in hot water too. And scrub any furniture you had your head near, hairbrushes and combs and any hair items. Sorry, I know it's a real pain.
My girls both got head lice from school a couple of years ago. But I really did not want to put such harsh chemicals so close to their faces and brains for that matter. So I did some research and came up with a system to get rid of the little buggers.





It started out with using a shampoo that has sulfur in it, Selsun Blue is what we used. I then combed out their hair and sprayed it with full strength white vinegar. This makes then eggs and the lice pop. After this I combed olive oil through the hair and wrapped it up in a plastic grocery bag. This is how they slept.





It took about a week to be fully rid of them and we went through this routine everyday of it. From then on they wore their hair up in ponytails and braids for school. They still continue to use the sulfur shampoo. Nothing wrong with a little preventative maintenance.





As far as washing everything, I did take all of their stuffed animals and stored them in garbage bags for two weeks to kill of anything that might transferred to them. Of course wash all of your bed linens.
ummm read the label.......
I am a hairstylist and we would normally use formaldehyde, ( the blue liquid that you see sitting on the stylist counters with combs in there) but make sure that you put it on the hair and scalp, and also run a small tooth comb thru the hair... rinse good with cool water.





good luck,

  1. Dandruff is caused by the shedding of old scalp cells and is actually most prevalent in areas of the head crown where grease glands are not only widespread, but most active.
