When my daughter was little (and now at almost 16) she had very long hair. I used to spritz her with a tea tree oil and water solution everyday when she went to school. I also tied her hair up so tight. *touch wood* no lice.
When I was on the PTA I used to run a volunteer group who helped out parents to pick the lice (this after a few families kept bringing it back into the school). I phoned a local children's hospital who swore by a oil and vinegar treatment instead of the traditional chemical one.
You saturate the hair in oil (olive is fine), stick a swim cap on and leave it for a few hours. Then you rinse the hair with vinegar and warm water and begin the fun task of combing. Apparently the oil suffocates the live ones and the combing is the only way to effectively rid the eggs.
