Olive oil can help you get rid of adult lice by suffocating them. Youâll need to apply the oil by coating the hair well, and youâll need to leave it on the hair enough time. Time varies and no scientific studies could determine a time that would work for everyone; a minimum of eight hours is often suggested.
This will suffocate the lice and loosen the eggs/nits from the hair shaft. After that wash it out with your favorite shampoo, (to help get the oil or mayonnaise out of your hair you can also rinse your hair with vinegar) thoroughly dry your hair and then use the lice comb to comb out the lice and nits. You will also need to comb the hair out daily with the lice comb for at least two weeks.
