Nitty Gritty Headlice Defence Spray 250ml

Product Information

If you want to see what you have removed from the hair, then have a small clear Tupperware bowl filled with water handy and following each stroke with the comb through the hair, give the comb a good swish in the bowl of water to remove any lice or eggs. This will get the majority of them out of the comb. If you are not that bothered about actually inspecting what has been removed, then just rinse it under the tap. Best hair dryers - Is it worth buying the pricier Dyson hair dryer or can a cheap model blow you away? Very little is known about how certain smells affect lice. But we know that some people have a natural odour that deters lice. This is the reason why some children will stay free of lice infestation even if their friends and family have lice.

It works because their sense of smell is believed to play a part in the way that head lice detect the presence of a potential new host. We have chosen ingredients, in particular Neem oil, which are known to be insect repellents and which lice just don't like. So because they don't like the smell of the new potential host who has been spritzed with Nitty Gritty Defence Spray, they stay put on their existing host. Dee Wright, founder of The Hairforce , a professional head lice removal company, suggests the following for treating mixed-race and Afro hair: Our solution not only helps the Nitty Gritty NitFree comb to glide smoothly and effortlessly through any hair type but also helps immobilise the lice making it difficult for them to move around the head. Unlike some regular hair conditioners, our solution won’t foam up when you use it, so you can really see what you’re doing. With neem and added wheatgerm it not only smells great but leaves the hair in shiny tip-top condition. Remember to ‘Spread the word, not the lice!....so pass this fantastic offer onto your friends, family and other mums at school. The more children who are nit free, the less likely your children are to be reinfested! Cons There's little clinical research into efficacy of treatments, the potential side-effects aren't known and they can be strong-smellingAn old toothbrush or nail brush is useful for removing and cleaning the lice and eggs from the comb. Just make sure that nobody brushes their teeth with it afterwards! Another item which is very good for cleaning the comb is one of the little brushes that come with an electric razor.

This kit includes a nice big 250ml bottle of Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray and of course our fabulous award-winning Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb. Nitwits and Hedrin were both cheapest at Superdrug, but the savings between retailers weren't as significant. In fact, these two brands stayed at similar prices across all available retailers during the three-month period. Medicated methods fall into one of two categories - chemical insecticides and physical insecticides.
