Lice - Other Treatment

Head-shaving helps get rid of head lice. After cutting or shaving the hair, put the hair into a garbage bag right away and seal it so that lice cannot spread to other areas in your home. Head-shaving could cause social problems for girls. It is more commonly used for boys who have lice.
