All Natural Ways to Prevent Head Lice

Share a hug, Share a ride, Share the feelings deep inside, But never share a hat or comb, Or lice could make your head their home.

Borrowed from headlice.org, this poem reminds us that the best defense is a good offense. To keep these nasty critters at bay, it’s recommended that children refrain from sharing personal items including combs, brushes, hair accessories, hats, helmets, scarves, headphones, pillows and towels. Of course, that habit is often completely up to your child.
