lavender oil..and lice

Am going to Pakistan soon and am afraid of getting lice! We will be visiting all sorts of different places so I just want to be careful. Someone told me that putting lavender oil in your hair keeps the lice away because they dont like the smell? Is it true, if yes, how do you apply it? Someone else told me to switch to a harsh shampoo like Head and Shoulders for my trip, because the chemicals will kill them?? Shoould I get one of those lice combs and just comb with that everyday. Any other tips for protecting yourself from lice
Thanks
