Here's
what you should do if you get bugs in your dreads:
Method
1:
by Unknown
Soak your dreads in rubbing
alcohol and tie a large plastic bag over your dreads, any bag
will do as long as it keeps the fumes on your head. Let your dreads
soak for 30 minutes. After they soak rinse your dreads really
really well. Repeat all this again in 3 days and you shouldn't
see any more buggies.

I received this email
not to long ago I'll paste it just like he sent it:
Hi, Hate to bother you, but I had Cow Lice once...(lovely, I know)
and this worked INSTANTLY.
1. Get big bucket
2. Fill with vinegar
3. Dump in bottle of Cayenne pepper.
4. Dunk your head in the bucket but MAKE SURE you don't get any
on your FACE OR EYES. Get it on the back and
everything.
5. Put a towel on your head and leave everything in for several
hours. It does not hurt but is a little stinky; perhaps wait
outside.
6. Wash out. It will kill EVERYTHING.
P.S. - Cow Lice are
twice the size of regular lice, you get them from sleeping in
cow fields.
Thank you for a great

----Additional Tips
by Dustin----
-Holy (expletive deleted)
even if your eyes are closed and that shit touches your eyes it
burn like a mother. Pour that from the front with your head tilted
back or really be upside down.
-Do not do it over a sink. You need lots of moving air and you
need to be far away from the fumes. My lung burned like a bitch.
-Get a towel rap it around your neck. Even with that bag tight
it still leaks.
-When you take off the bag...look out. Attack of the FUMES.

Mix vinegar and peroxide,
equal parts. With 1 half part of rubbing alcohol. Soak your head
completely. Put a plastic grocery bag over your head and let soak
for no less than around 5-8hrs. The longer the better. This mixture
works every time, unless you've had bugs for quite a while and
are infested, in that case there's no hope. There's no worry of
rehatching eggs either. The vinegar kills them all, so no need
to resoak. You do need to make sure to wash all your clothes and
hats though. If you have a house or car you should buy the rid
bed spray also. Hope everything works out.

1. Drenched my hair
in vinegar, put a shower cap on and left it for 30 minutes then
rinsed. Vinegar kills the lice.
2. Put shaving cream
(Barbosol-the foamy kind) on my head for 30 minutes then rinsed.
Shaving Cream kills the eggs.
3. Then I made my own
homemade lice killer and preventer:
15 drops Eucalyptus
5 drops majorigm
5 drops rosemary
5 drops lavender
5 drops peppermint
3/4c. pure unscented coconut oil (before melting)
1/4c. dreadhead dread soap
I lathered, left on
for 30 minutes, and washed out with more dread soap.
It worked wonders.
All of those essentail oils are supposed to kill the lice and
coconut oil prevents lice. Plus it gets rid of the vinegar smell.
