wash with quinoa bark soaked in boiling water every couple of days,in cycle with eggs hatching. totally natural. worked for me 11 years ago now, so cant remember exact proceedure, if any one interested i will find out. quinoa seeds or 'mother grain' very good to eat aswell. good luck erm maybe its another bark beginning with Q, long long time since i had nits. will dig out herbal books and findout ok found it. QUASSIA bark, big handfull leave to soak overnight in 1.5l water and wash hair every couple of days for ten days. best if on first day use olive oil and a few drops of lavender or tea tree to kick it off. hope this helps, gotta be better than chems in your lovely dreads
