    you should get lice shampoo from your doctor. have you tried wearing a hat? you should always wear a hat if you have lice, it will suffocate them. Just dont wear it after you have gotten rid of the lice, because you may find a little louse in that hat. lice can be hard to get rid of. THROW IT AWAY!!!

    I HOPE THAT I WAS TO YOUR ASSISTANCE!!! GOOD LUCK SWEETIE!!! 8D

    Source(s): my doctor, I also had lice before.

    No your blow dryer will not kill the lice. A Rx strength shampoo will do the trick. Give your GP a call.

    Medicated shampoo.

    If you manage to burn the lice to death with a blow dryer (and I'm not saying this is possible; I don't know), I'd expect you'll also burn your scalp and damage your hair.

    lice shampoo from your local pharmacy. just ask the pharmacist which one works best.
