YOU’VE BEEN TREATED & ARE NOW LICE-FREE!

The itch associated with head lice is an allergic reaction to the saliva from the head lice. Even after the infestation is gone and there are no longer live lice in your hair, the allergic reaction can linger. Itching after treatment is common, and can last as long as 10-14 days or more.

Option 1): Wash hair several times with regular shampoo to get the oil out. If you think it’s not coming out, keep trying – it WILL come out.

Option 2): Shampoo with a mild dish soap like Dawn or Palmolive. These will remove the Oil more easily than standard shampoo. "Note: Dish soap will potentially strip hair dye. Use at your own risk.

Option 3): Head and Shoulders. We have been told by many customers that Head and Shoulders shampoo is very good at getting the oil out AND helps with post-treatment itching due to hydrating the scalp.

Option 4): Clarifying shampoos help to break down Oil in just a single wash.

Our Lice Lessons Clarifying Shampoo is a great option!

It is expected that you will have a few nits that are no longer viable (dead) left in your hair after treatment. The focus of our treatment (and our guarantee) is to KILL all the nits and lice on the head. To completely remove every nit from the head typically requires a several hour comb-out, which is not part of our treatment process.  Therefore, unless you see LIVE bugs in the hair, you can assume that all the nits are no longer viable (dead).

Should you see dead nits, there are several ways you can facilitate removing them:
1) Continue to use a nit comb in the showerover the next several days throughout the entire head.
2) Every time you shampoo, rub your scalp vigorously; this will help break apart and dislodge the dead nits.

NOTE: Nits/eggs that “pop” when  squeezed between fingernails does NOT indicate that the nits/eggs are “alive.”  This is a widely perpetuated lice-myth or Wive's Tale.

The ONLY reason a re-check would be necessary is in the event you are seeing live bugs.  It is NOT necessary to come back to the clinic for a re-check “just to make sure” the treatment worked. We have successfully treated thousands of customers over the past several years...the first time.

However, if you ultimately need a post-treatment check to provide the peace of mind that comes with knowing the lice is gone, re-checks are $15 for short hair, $20 for long hair.

If the re-check occurs within the 30-day guarantee window AND it is determined that the treatment was ineffective for any reason, the re-check fee will be waived and we will re-treat you for free.

• Girls: wear hair as high & tight as possible. Tight hair equates to less surface area for a louse to latch onto your head.
• Be aware of any situation where you may have head-to-head contact with others, or if you use things that may have touched other peoples’ heads/hair. Do your best to avoid those situations.
• DO NOT, under any circumstances, put anything in your hair or on your head that has touched someone else’s head.
• Do periodic combing with a nit comb.
• Spray preventative spray or preventative detangler on your head anytime you go into a situation where there may be a high risk of lice exposure.
