We see cases of lice weekly. The funny thing is it comes in waves. Right after a school holiday it hits hard. Families that have been on air planes or in another country pick up lice. The bottom line is your child's head needs to be "nit free" before they are with others or go to school. "Nit free" means all of the egg sacs are gone-completely gone. It requires a long video and sitting down with a nit comb, a wet paper towel and combing and inspecting every strand of hair.
Here are some simple tips:
1. Do not confuse flakes and dandruff with nits. Nits will not flake off. They must be loosened from the hair with your fingernails and pulled down the hair shaft.
2. Most lice killing products are pesticides. Very bad for anyone. We recommend Fairy Tale Hair Care Products.
3. Wash bedding and recently worn clothing in hot water and dry in hot dryer. Combs and brushes need to be soaked in hot water.
4. Vacuum furniture, carpets, and car seats.
5. If one family member gets it then check everyone else or better yet give a treatment.
6. Lice do not like clean hair so do not go overboard on washing.
