Tea tree oil is great, but as a teacher aide and mum of kids well into their teens, I offer every other mum this advice: it doesn't matter what shampoo you use, you physically have to comb out all of the lice and eggs with a fine metal comb as well. No shampoo is 100% effective on its own.

I grew up with my head stinking of tea tree oil.. my mom swore by it and still does... I never got lice so I'd say it really does work :) and it has a milion other great uses too....

I'm not sure about tea tree oil but I definitely know some prople who swear by using rosemary essential oil to rid the lice away and keep them away going foward. Supposedly lice detest rosemary.  Good luck.
