How do I get rid of head lice and their eggs using natural remedies?

It is difficult to get rid of head lice and their eggs completely by using natural remedies. You either have to shave your head or use some anti lice shampoo.
Following are the natural remedies which you can try to get rid of them. Mix yogurt and egg and then apply it on your head for half an hour. Afterwards wash your head with warm water. Another natural remedy is to use the Olive Oil regularly.
The natural remedy to get rid of head lice and their eggs are place one tablespoon of olive oil with one tablespoon of mustarad oil with one teaspoon of black pepper and rub in your head.
My family had resistant headlice for four months. Finally after much research and after trying every product out there, I discovered that rubbing a little neem oil onto the scalp and hair before showering will kill the lice and eggs (do 2 days). Then, put about 5 tear drops of neem oil into any leave-in conditioner. Rub a small amount of the leave-in conditioner in your scalp and hair after you towel dry your hair- every time. You can blow dry or air dry hair as usual (do this until the lice scare is completely over to protect you from reinfestation). Neem oil is organic and safe for humans, but intolerable for lice. They cannot burrow or lay eggs and the eggs cannot mature or hatch. You should be free from the critters in days. You can rub a little neem oil on the other areas of your skin that bother you. It is antifungal as well. Topical use only. You can buy neem oil at any health food store, and I think Target carries it as well. Best of luck
