How do you get rid of lice in dreadlocks?

Ooooo hon.. I’m so sorry 🤗 .. you don’t. You have to cut them completely off to the point your hair is so short that all the knots are combed out so that way your hair can be gone through with a fine tooth comb many times. Often you even have to reapply the chemical soak. It’s almost easier to shave your head down at that point. The thing is that no amount of dips in any chemical are going to kill all the eggs even if it kills the more mature lice, so the lice will come right back as soon as any of the eggs hatch.
