Tip #7: Add a few drops of tea tree essential oil to shampoo to prevent lice

My sister got lice and I was worried that I would get them too. Luckily I didn't, but while researching natural ways of getting rid of her lice, I found out that there are essential oils that repel lice. Such essential oils are tea tree, lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, rosemary and geranium. Anyways, I use a lavender shampoo which has lavender extract and that is probably the reason why I didn't get lice from my sister.

I would suggest doing this to your child's shampoo as a preventative measure. Make sure that your child is not allergic to the oil first. You don't have to use only tea tree oil, you may use any of the oils listed above.
