While Head Lice infestations are most common in school-age children, this problem can affect anyone at any age regardless of personal habits.
Even Sherilyn Reyes-Tan (a celebrity mom) shared her story when she exhibited symptoms of pediculosis in her childhood---including the unsafe practice of using kerosene as a home lice remedy to kill the lice so that they can be easily combed out.

When it comes to lice treatment, there is Permethrin (Kwell) Shampoo, the medicated shampoo for the treatment of head lice and their eggs (kuto at lisa) and prevention for those at risk.
How to use Permethrin (Kwell) Shampoo
It is applied to the wet hair scalp, left on for 10 minutes. Make sure that all parts of the head, hair and scalp and even the back of the ears and neck are treated. Leave it on for 10 minutes and wash thoroughly after. Rinse off and Dry the hair by using a towel. If other members of the family have lice, treat them as well with Permetrhin (Kwell) to avoid the spread of lice.
Use it once to get rid of lice. Often, a second insecticide treatment is recommended after the first application as the life cycle is about seven days from the laying of the eggs to the hatching. This ensures that no nits have been left and that’s it. No need to do maintenance washes.
