For treating a lice infestation, I recommend using Nix (Permethrin) shampoo or Rid (Piperonyl butoxide and Pyrethrum extract) shampoo. Follow the instructions on the packaging for proper application. Additionally, make sure to comb out the dead lice and nits from the hair using a fine-toothed comb.

Question

I'm a 33-year-old woman and I've noticed a lot more grey hair lately. I have a 2-year-old and my grey hair issues started back in college, but it was minimal then. Now it feels like every short hair is grey and my longer hairs are grey just at the roots. I've been using Henna and indigo for coloring. Is there anything else I can do about my grey hair? Any advice would be appreciated.
