Great for Preventative Care
Add 2% of Get ‘Em Gone and 1% Polysorbate or Solubol to 4 oz. of water, shake liberally to mix, then spray your child’s hair and scalp each morning to help keep lice at bay. Due to the water content, this product should be stored in the fridge and used within a week. Otherwise, add a preservative, such as Optiphen Plus or Germall Plus.
Don’t rinse, but let hair dry and keep the mixture on all day. Also use this for prevention when children have friends or classmates with unusually itchy scalps.
Get ‘Em Gone Shampoo Relief
What you’ll need:
- 7 drops Get ‘Em Gone
- 1 tsp of shampoo
What you’ll do:
Massage mixture into your child’s hair and scalp. Use a fine-toothed comb to spread the shampoo and let sit in the hair for 15 minutes. Rinse and repeat if necessary to help with symptoms associated with lice.
When you say 2% get em gone and 1% solubol, how many ml/drops of each when mixing with 4oz water?
Dianne, 2% Get Em Gone in 4oz would be 72 total drops. Then for the 1%, that would be 36 drops.
Thanks so much!
You’re very welcome!
I sure hope I don’t need to use this, but I went ahead and bought a bottle to share with my sister in law since our boys just started preschool this year. Thanks for the constant education!
Jillian, we hope you won’t need it either, but it’s a great blend to have on hand, just in case!
Hopefully won’t be dealing with lice anymore but will for sure utilize this if we do! Wish I woulda known a couple years ago LOL
Better late than never! Of course, hopefully you don’t have to use it!
Thanks for this post. For the preventative recipe, does it matter if one uses Polysorbate 20 or 80? (And you don’t sell that or Solubol at this time, right?)
We do not! Unfortunately, beyond what we recommend in the recipe, we cannot comment to other ingredients like 20 vs 80. I would encourage you to do some research and pick from there. 🙂
Great idea with the shampoo, I didn’t think about that!
Thank you, Christina!
I am gonna use this for my son. Thanks for taking time to write this amazing post.
You’re so welcome!
I haven’t tried this synergy yet, but I am a teacher so it seems like something I might need to add to my wish list for the dreaded head lice outbreaks. Happy to learn that Plant Therapy has this synergy available!
This is so cool. I’ll have to remember this exists when I have kids!
Get em gone has worked great for us!!!! Love the shampoo recipe idea. I need to keep that handy if ever needed!
Will definitely be making this shampoo, can you use it regularly for prevention or is it like once you have it. Would like to use for preventative.
Great question, Liz – you can absolutely use this for preventative care! That’s a great idea 🙂
Thanks for this – I was wondering the same.
Buying 3 bottles asap. 1 for my house, 1 to send home with my step daughter and 1 to send home with my nephews!! Cant wait to start preventing that awful “itchy scalp”
That’s a great idea, Allysa! Thank you for sharing! “Itchy scalp” is just the worst! 😀
First year of school and I will definitely be using get em gone and tea tree hydrosol
That’s a great idea! And I LOVE that you’re using a hydrosol – love those! Thank you for sharing!
