Call us to schedule your appointment at our new clinic, and leave lice free today! I cannot express how amazing this place is. When my daughter came home from a vacation with friends and I discovered she had lice, I immediately panicked- as did my daughter.
I called Lice Aunties and Naomi immediately calmed me right down. She was amazing with my daughter and gave us huge peace of mind. She definitely knows her stuff! Highly recommend!!! There is no better place to go when you begin to itch and scratch. The staff is so helpful, calming, and professional.
No extra stops at CVS on the way home. I brought all four kids and they got us in and out so efficiently. The pricing is fair and peace of mind is worth every cent!!
Thank you Naomi and team — you make a difficult situation so much better. This service is a life saver. They returned my call almost immediately and talked me off the lice ledge so I could schedule an appointment. Follow these treatment steps: Before applying treatment, it may be helpful to remove clothing that can become wet or stained during treatment.
Apply lice medicine, also called pediculicide, according to the instructions contained in the box or printed on the label. If the infested person has very long hair longer than shoulder length , it may be necessary to use a second bottle. Pay special attention to instructions on the label or in the box regarding how long the medication should be left on the hair and how it should be washed out.

It strips your hair of its natural oils and dehydrates your scalp. If you tried to use alcohol to kill lice, your scalp might react. It may develop bumps that could become infected. You could also have an allergic reaction and experience stinging, itching, inflammation, and even hives.
Another reason not to try to use alcohol to kill lice is that it puts you at risk of getting chemical burns on your skin. And, if you have any open cuts, scratches, or sensitive spots on your scalp, the alcohol will burn your skin. In addition, it can damage your hair follicles. It will also burn if it gets into your eyes. After all, children have a harder time sitting still than adults.
Children may have dozens of eggs at a time in their hair. After a week, the eggs hatch, the lice mate, and even more eggs are laid. Special "nit killing" shampoos kill live lice and the eggs, and loosen the "glue" that sticks nits to the hair shaft.
To get rid of lice, first treat the hair of everyone in the house over the age of 2 with a special nit shampoo:. Read labels carefully: each product has different directions. Many good products are over the counter and do not require a prescription. We recommend trying Rid or Nix or their generic equivalents first. If you suspect that the lice are resistant to these products, a prescription product or an herbal product like Hair Clear is probably a better option.
If you have questions about which product is best for you, please contact us. Use an adequate amount of solution: 2 oz for short hair, 4 oz for long hair. Do not use other shampoo, rinse, hairspray, mousse, or other hair products for 24 hours.
Everyone should then bathe in the shower or bathtub and put on fresh clothes afterward. Do not rewash hair! Be sure your child isn't infested in the eyebrows and eyelashes.
If so, cover the eyebrows and eyelashes with petroleum jelly. Don't use nit shampoo here! Never, ever use gasoline, kerosene, pesticides or motor oil on your child's hair! These home remedies are dangerous and ineffective.
Next, you'll need to pull out or comb out nits from everyone's hair next:. Special fine-toothed combs are available to scrape off nits. Fingernails work well too. Go through hair section by section and remove the small white "nits" lice eggs glued to the hair shaft, about one third of the way down the hair shaft.
Nit removal is easier to do when the hair is damp, right after the shampoo. Next, tackle the bedrooms:. Lice can live up to 3 days on inanimate objects, separated from a person.
