- Divide hair into small sections and use plastic hair clips to hold.
- Wrap a towel around shoulders, this can get messy.
- Starting at the back of the neck start parting the hair in fine clumps of hair and apply mixture to the hair with pain brush.
- Make sure you paint the mixture on the scalp too.
- Once you have the entire hair covered with the mixture put the shower cap over the head and squeeze the air out and use a clip to hold the cap in place.
- Leave the mixture and shower cap on for at least two hours.
- Rinse in warm water until the water runs clear.
- Put on generous amount of Coconut Conditioner on hair and rinse through with warm water.
- Once again divide hair into sections and comb through each section with lice comb. You'll see the dead lice along with the eggs on the comb.
- Rinse the comb in hot water between each section you comb.
- Once you have combed through all sections shampoo hair with Coconut Shampoo, then once again put Coconut Conditioner on hair and rinse.
Fill your mist spray bottle ¾ full of warm water and 20 drips of Tea Tree Oil. Spray all pillows, blankets, sheets, rugs and furniture with a fine mist.
