Start from the beginning
                                    

"And Peridot has them to." Amethyst stared.

"Unfortunately, which will be harder than Steven's to remove." I mumbled.

"Why?" Peridot asked.

"One, your hair is thick and two, it's got a shape which I'm sure will be annoying to deal with." I pointed out.

"Ok I'm here, who has the lice?!" Connie's mom burst into the house. Everyone pointed to the two in chairs.

"Oh heavens, the ones with the most difficult of hair." Dr Maheswaren sighed.

"This is why you should be cautious about touching heads with other people." She said, handing me a nit comb.

"You do her's and I'll do Steven's." She said, tying up her own hair.

"You guys should treat your own hair to, for safety measures." I offered, passing a bottle of lice removal shampoo.

"Uh... do we eat it?" Amethyst asked.

"No you put it in your heads like this." I demonstrated, running it through the pony tail part of my hair. "But do it on the roots to."

Dr Maheswarn began to tend to Steven while being careful of the scratches.

"Sorry bout this Peridot." I said, wetting her entire hair until it fell flat.

"AGH!" She screeched. "CLODS DAMN IT CLOD!"

I split her hair which was surprisingly smooth and began to mix in the shampoo, using a nit comb to take out any of the eggs and lice.

"Thankfully you only just got them so you shouldn't have many." I said, trying my best to gently pull the comb through.

"OWW!" She yelled, squeezing my hand tightly.

"I'm so sorry about this." I said, rubbing her arm reassuringly. She grumbled some unheard words as I continued to split her hair.

Eventually I reached the front but struggled to get to the hair behind the visors. I sighed, embracing the struggle.

"I know you won't like this but... you'll need to take off your visors." I waited for her to yell,bite, scream and kick.

I was sure everyone embraced it to. "Ok." She said uncertainly, allowing me to remove the screen. Everyone looked in surprise before retiring to their rooms to do their own hair as Peridot opened her eyes.

"Aw what a pretty blue." I cooed, pulling the comb through.

"... Thanks." She said. After a few more minutes, I gather her hair and pulled it into a pony tail like mine.

"We leave this in for a couple hours and then rinse it out." I explained as Steven squeaked.

By then the gems had returned from treating their own hair, each with ponytails to.

Garnets was surprisingly square.

"How much longer will Steven take?" Pearl asked.

"A little longer since he has thick curly hair. Surprisingly I figured he'd be quicker." Dr Maheswaren explained, continuing to create multiple pig tails.

"After a while Steven's was done and running around with Peridot as the rest of us rinsed and washed.

"Where did Steven get these pests from anyways?" Pearls asked, neatly pulling her hair back.

"Probably someone with lice, that's how they spread." Dr Maheswaren said.

"Well I sure as heck never want to experience that again." Amethyst said. "Do you have any idea how long it takes."
