Coconut oil is helpful in the prevention of head lice because its oily nature does not allow the little creatures to easily attach their eggs, or nits, to the hair. If a louse’s egg won’t stick to the base of the hair shaft, the continuation of its life cycle is effectively terminated. Head lice have a very short life, living for 32-35 days. They start to reproduce around day 16-19. Eggs are laid one or two days after mating and a female will lay 3-8 eggs for the next 16 or so days before dying. Breaking this cycle is the key. It doesn’t matter if your hair is clean, dirty, short or long… they just want a warm cosy home with easy access to blood and they’re happy! The point I am making is, it’s not about the person, what background or what race – they want the blood!

Coconut oil can be one of the most cost efficient, natural and effective approach for treating head lice without products at home. Not only using coconut oil will helps to kill the lice you have to clean your hair regularly and avoid close contact with head lice affected person.
