Reviews

Reviews about the use of vinegar are very diverse. Some people do not like the smell of the drug and the fact that lice do not die. Others consider this method a great alternative to chemicals.

The tradition of poisoning lice with vinegar was inherited by me - that was done by my grandmother, mother, and now I treat pediculosis in my three children in this way. If I bought shampoo for lice in a pharmacywould have already gone broke. And so this tool is always at hand and costs a penny. The only negative is that after the procedure you have to rinse your hair for a long time to get rid of the smell.

The result of the inspection was not encouraging - white capsules, small moving individuals on the scalp. There was a problem like remove lice from a child. Her hair is long, curly and therefore did not want to cut them. I disbelieve folk methods and bought her a special lice spray. In the reviews for the product, I read that rinsing hair with vinegar enhances the effect and facilitates combing nits.A tandem of a pharmacy product with a folk product gave a good result, and my daughter got rid of lice in one procedure.

Maria, Guryevsk

I tried to remove lice from my son with vinegar. I did not like the result. The tool is capable of poisoning only a person, but on the insect it generally had no effect. After the son patiently inhaled the fragrance of vinegar for an hour, 5 individuals were lonely lying on the sheet as a result of combing. It can, as an adjuvant, be bite and effective, but as the main one it is completely useless. I had to buy pediculosis ointment - only after that the son safely forgot about lice bites.
