Lice – “shocking” preparation!
Apply – mix 25 drops of tea tree oil + 25 drops of lavender oil in 100 ml of sweet almond oil. Spread half the mixture on wet hair, before shampooing, then brush your wet hair and empty the rest of the mixture on your scalp. Brush again bit by bit, from the skull to the tips of the hair, starting with the forehead towards the nape of the neck. Wrap your hair in cling film and leave it for 2 hours. Rinse with shampoo twice, rinse again very well. Brush with a lice brush to make sure of eliminating all of them. Repeat this treatment 15 days later in order to eliminate possible “surviving” lice or nits.
