- •
- look for tiny nits near scalp, beginning at back of neck and behind ears
- •
- examine small sections of hair at a time
- •
- unlike dandruff which moves when touched, nits stick to the hair
- •
- if either lice or nits are found, treat with this product
Treat
- •
- apply thoroughly to DRY HAIR or other affected area. For head lice, first apply behind ears and to back of neck.
- •
- allow product to remain for 10 minutes, but no longer
- •
- use warm water to form a lather, shampoo, then thoroughly rinse
- •
- for head lice, towel dry hair and comb out tangles
Remove lice and their eggs (nits)
- •
- use a fine-tooth or special lice/nit comb. Remove any remaining nits by hand (using a throw-away glove).
- •
- hair should remain slightly damp while removing nits
- •
- if hair dries during combing, dampen slightly with water
- •
- for head lice, part hair into sections. Do one section at a time starting on top of the head. Longer hair may take 1 to 2 hours.
- •
- lift a 1-to 2-inch wide strand of hair. Place comb as close to scalp as possible and comb with a firm, even motion away from scalp.
- •
- pin back each strand of hair after combing
- •
- clean comb often. Wipe nits away with tissue and discard in a plastic bag. Seal bag and discard to prevent lice from coming back.
- •
- after combing, thoroughly recheck for lice/nits. Repeat combing if necessary.
