I had a dcg who was out almost 4 weeks with lice. Each time the father would bring her back telling me she was all set, I'd check her hair and find more bugs/eggs. It was beyond frustrating for them. After a couple of treatments with shampoo made specifically to get rid of lice, they tried coating her hair with mayo and that finally worked. After bringing her back to me so many times before the bugs were actually gone, I did have him get her hair checked by her dr. and bring in a note stating they were gone before she could return.

My own dd got lice when she was in elementary school. We had the same problem with the shampoo not killing them all, needed a couple of treatments. Even after nighty comb-throughs and constant checking, it took close to 3 weeks to finally get rid of them all. Not fun!
