To complete a successful head lice treatment, it is important to have the following products, headlice shampoo and a medal lice comb. To begin the treatment, the child's hair will be treated with the lice shampoo. The child should not use common shampoo or conditoner for up to 48 hours before or after the treatment. This treatment should also be completed 7-10 days after the original treatment. After combing through the child's hair it is important to begin pulling out all the tricky nits using one's finger nails. Failure to complete this step may cause another infestation. Lastly, to treat the house hold, wash all clothing, bedding, and accesories in hot water.
