I also suspect that using conditioner on children's hair after 
shampooing may make it harder for lice to stick. I regularly conditioned 
my daughter's long hair, and we never did get infested, despite several 
class go-rounds of the little beasties. One teacher required braids or 
pony tails for lice prevention.
