The 5 Best louse remedies (2023 reviews)

The licefreee spray! Louse remedy is long-lasting, rigid and fits well with your daily purpose like a dream. The Head and Shoulders shampoo is great for keeping lice out of your hair if you can use it. It smells better and has tee tree oil in it to help repel lice. The way this works is through an actual mechanical action (drys the buggers out) and not through a drug or chemical which they can become resistant to, so even'super lice' fall to this spray. It definitely needs to be washed out, though, especially on thick hair.

The Lice Free is very effective, it even cures the worst lice outbreaks in a single application. Aside from the daily dusting and extensive laundry washing, vacuuming and bagging, this was great.

Why We Like This:

Terrible smell, no use at all
Convenient no rinse formula, just spray and go
Benzyl alcohol, fragrance, poloxamer 188, purified water
