If a head lice infestation has been confirmed, follow the steps below:
- Saturate the hair for Instant results with ultracare ECO Head Lice, Egg & Nit Serum. Kills lice and eggs and doesn’t contain any of the parabens and chemicals found in your standard conditioner. However, a conditioner is fine to use.
- At the nape of the neck choose which side of the head you wish to start (left or right) and take a horizontal section about 1 to 2cms deep.
- Clip up the hair above this section securely, so there is a clear line between this and the hair you are working on.
- Starting from one side of the section, hold a manageable amount of hair at 90 degree to the scalp.
- Insert the comb as close to the scalp as possible. Do not dig into the scalp.
- Move the comb down from the base of the hair to the tip and off the end. It is essential to start every stroke at the base.
- When the stroke is complete, wipe any lice and egg on a tissue.
- Repeat these steps on the same piece of hair until the comb has been clear for atleast three strokes.
- When the hair you are combing is clear, select a new horizontal section of hair to work on. However- ensure you have a portion of overlap with the area you have just combed.
- Once you have completed a full horizontal section, tie this section down and select another straight section immediately above, working across from one side of the head to the other.
- Repeat until you have reached the front hairline. Ensure all fine hairs at the edge of the hairline have also been combed using the precision comb.
