ABOUT TREATMENT
For the infestation to stop, all head lice and eggs (nits) must be killed at the same time
Treatments which effectively eliminate head lice will not require the use of a nit comb as the dead insects will drop out while washing the hair
Repeated applications are only required in treatments which do not kill head lice and nits after the first application
Using the fine tooth comb rarely removes nits as the conditioner makes hair slippery and the comb cannot grip the eggs well, which are firmly glued to the hair
Prolonged nit combing damages hair and roots. It may lead to irritated and broken skin and secondary scalp infection
Nit combing with conditioner is purely a cosmetic procedure when live lice, which are tangled up in a conditioner or shampoo, are manually removed. This must be repeated thoroughly many times for at least 2 weeks and the person treated must be away from the source of infection. If re-infestation occurs in the meantime, this method becomes an endless and frustrating task.
Products which require re-applications and the use of a nit comb can be effectively replaced by any inexpensive hair conditioner as this procedure is purely manual
There is always a risk of a particularly resistant strain of lice developing (so called "Superbug"), so if you choose to use chemical treatment, do not repeat over and over again, if it didn’t work the first time. By doing so you might be adding to the problem of building up resistance in lice and you might be adversely affecting your child’s health
