My children have been plagued with head lice for what seems like an eternity. I tried the soft approach, combing them out with conditioner and various 'green' products. No luck. Then I was given a bottle of Hedrin. The kids had one dose each massaged into dry hair - no complaints at all - and then I shampooed their hair in the morning. And that's the last we've seen of the lice!
