Getting rid of head lice can pose a challenge for parents, yet prevention might prove to be more straightforward than anticipated. One successful approach involves incorporating tea tree oil into your daily regimen.

A mom named Kim Wright took to Facebook to share a valuable tip ahead of the start of the back-to-school season. According to her, one very useful way of preventing lice infestation is by simply adding a few drops of tea tree oil to your children’s shampoo or crafting a diluted tea tree oil spray for their hair.

Wright says that this purely natural solution not only combats lice effectively but also serves as a deterrent against mosquitoes.
