Skyler is my nephew. He and his sister Stevie, who is also in the
mixes section, used to catch lice whenever there was an outbreak at
school. Skyler would bring it home to Stevie and they would play
give and take a few rounds before their mom could get it all...until
the next time it was going around the school. There was a discussion
over at the henna page forum about henna to keep lice at bay. I had
done Stevie's hair before I'd even heard of it as a solution to
lice. Skyler came home from school with it a few days after I
hennaed Stevie's hair and she did not catch it. I did Skyler's and
it suffocated all the little buggers and neither of them has had a
problem since.

: Will henna actualy kill lice?

: hmmm...

: I know henna is mentioned in some religious texts as a good
cosmetic

: lead to better hygene ? (forgive me if you've already covered
this)
