Lice prevention?
One of my DD's classmates has lice  Is there anything I can buy to repel the lice? I put hairspray in her hair because I've heard that they don't like product. Is there anything specific I can buy to repel the lice? That is the LAST thing I need right now

Re: Lice prevention?
In our school they have all the girls wear their hair in a pony tail. If they have really long hair they suggest that they braid it.
They also have them keep their jackets in their backpacks.

Re: Lice prevention?
If her hair is long I would put some leave in conditioner in it, and braid it.

We have used Fairy Tales Rosemary Repel Spray and Shield and it smells pretty good, and seemed to work....

Re: Lice prevention?
Buns, and I've heard rosemary works, so that stuff the pp said could work. When it was in our school I spoke with someone at the DOH and they said to use a little hairspray around the nap of the neck so the bugs couldn't cling on.
I don't think it's realistic but you could have DD put her stuff (backpack and coat, etc) into a bag before she puts it in the closet with the rest of her stuff. I don't know how old DD is but make sure she knows not to share hats, scarves, clothing, etc.

Re: Lice prevention?
Put her hair up in a bun or braid it, tell her not to stand too close to her friends...

We've used it through several huge lice outbreaks at school and camp over the years. I don't know if that's the reason but so far, so good.

I use Fairy Tales spray and gel on my son every day! There was a huge outbreak in his class earlier this year and he didn't get it, knock on wood!
