Homemade Lice Prevention Spray

It’s back to school time, which means it’s lice breakout time. That’s right – with the beginning of school often comes a lice season. I have four beautiful children. Two are girls with VERY long hair. We have dealt with lice outbreaks spreading like wildfire though out their schools EVERY YEAR and since my daughters have long hair we used to have at least one breakout each year.

Thank goodness I have discovered an amazing remedy that will help reduce the chance of lice in our home. Even better it is super easy to make, 100% natural and smells fabulous.

Simply combine all ingredients in a spray bottle and apply daily. I also have discovered that keeping my girl’s hair in buns while lice is going around also helps reduce the chance of them getting it as well.

Ingredients

• 10 drops Lavender essential oil
• 10 drops Tea Tree essential oil
• 5 drops Rosemary essential oil
• 2 oz. water
• Small spray bottle

***The most important ingredients are the water and Tea Tree essential oil…so if you are on a budget I recommend at least picking up some Tea Tree oil and adding it to a spray bottle with water, detangler or even conditioner! The Tea Tree oil is the repellent and will keep the lice from wanting to jump or lay nits.
