Beauty & Grooming  Discussion Forum

dear champa,

i can understand your problem because lice problem can be very embarassing and irritating.champa if your mil can't do lice picking why don't you go to your mothers place and get it done there.don't you have any young person who can do it.are your hair very long?i will tell tell how my mom does it.they make me sit in our terrace on alow stool and they search each strand of my hair for nits and after finding one kill them with your nail.in case lice is there they oil my hair and comb it with a fine tooth lice comb in fact i just finshed a session of lice combing because while plaiting my hair yesterday my sister found some nits in my hair.so as a safe side my mom oiled my hair and combed it and found some lice.it is the best way to solve lice problem.you also ask your mil to sit in front of you and check her hair.and find someone who can search your hair for lice and nits.till then keep oiling your hair and comb it lice comb so that at least lice won't increase.keep me informed .keep your hair in tight plait to avoid more infestation champa replied. Hi bhanupriya,

Thanks for the reply and advice. I also receieved lots of advice from gauri and we are enjoying writing to each other. Can you also write to me, then i will let you know in details my progress in handling the problem. I am sure u would like to hear. my email-id is champutai(at)yahoo(dot)com champa replied. Thanks for the reply. Let me know ur emailid so that I can write to you directly in details. champa replied. I am sorry about being
so lame in this matter. Grooming each others hair is
fine but had no experience lice/nit picking. maybe my mils eye-sight maybe the reason she is
not able to find any from mine. Also i will gather the
courage to ask and search her head. Normally how do
you start the conversation or ur mom/sis tells you to look
for whenever she feels or have time. and start the
process. Other things is how do we search so much
hair. I dont know from where to start. Searching all
hairs wont finish in one sitting. Also how do you make
it less boring. Secondly how does a nit comb look
like. I have never seen it. Lice comb is i suppose the
one with fine teeth. Also someone said nit combing is
painful, then is it not painful for ur mom or sis. If
it pains too much then what do u do.

Now i have to find some one who can look into my hair
or once I understand how it is done then I can ask my
mil to do the combing atleast as i have long hair too.
But i never oil it, but would love to get it oiled and
massaged. my mom does not live close by so we cannot
visit often. Maybe I will ask my friend, but the
problem is all of them are usually busy with their
family I dont know if they can take out time for me that too for this
Or may be I will try with my neighbour who is older
than me but younger than my mil and also has long
hair. Does ur neighbour also do the nit picking for u
or only mom & sis. Also write to me some more details
about the process. more step by step. what is the
comfortable position for both and what part of the
house you should sit. from where do u start. do u look
manually or just using comb. when u search or nit comb
how do u part the hair and into how many sections. do
u keep their(mom or sis whose haed u r searching) head
in a particular angle or position. etc. Pls. do write
to me in more details so that I can get rid of it as
quickly as possible. Also give me more ideas as to who
else I can ask to look into my head so that i get less
embarassed. And also pls. if possible send me the snaps of nit picking. that will really help me understand this whole
process. Thanks for all ur help. send me ur email id or write to me directly at champutai(at)yahoo(dot)com vijay replied. hi sister
