Olive Oil
This common kitchen staple is believed to be a great smothering agent for nits and lice. When a thick layer of liquid fill the breathing holes, lice are likely to suffocate and perish. All you need to do is to apply the olive oil on your scalp under the shower cap, then leave it overnight so that lice cannot breathe. In the morning, you need to comb your hair to get rid of dead lice and knits. Just keep in mind to rinse your head thoroughly with water to remove olive oil. Use this remedy for at least one week to ensure complete removal of lice. [4]
