I’m a mum and my daughter always struggled with head lice, here’s I got rid of them for good – and it’s NOT using vodka
LICE is a common problem, particularly if your child goes to nursery or has started school.
Although there are dozens of natural remedies that parents swear by, such as applying vodka, one mum has urged to steer clear of these and instead use a different solution.
Ann Russell, whose cleaning hacks have made her somewhat of an internet sensation, shared the trick on TikTok, where she has over 2.1million followers.
Responding to someone who claimed their parents had poured the boozy spirit all over the locks, Ann advised to give the cheap remedy a miss.
”Don’t do that cause it won’t work,” she said in a video.
Like most parents, Ann also knows a thing or two about an itching scalp or creepy creatures crawling all over a kid’s head.
