Step By Step Guide To Preventing A Lice Reoccurence

Step By Step Guide To Preventing A Lice Reoccurence.
Many of the clients that call me, have already tried different lice solutions, such as OTC (over the counter or prescription shampoos). Many of them have combed & boiled & laundered just about everything in there home and yet weeks and months & in some unusual cases years go by & there still coming up with lice and nits in there hair!!!
How can you be reassured that the lice are gone and won't come back??
First and foremost you need to comb your child's hair out very well using a good stainless steel comb,( such as licebgoners comb), comb every section of hair using conditioner and baking soda, checking constantly on paper towel to see if lice or nits are still coming out.. You can use Licebgoners mousse to help loosen the nits & kill the lice.
When you are sure that you have cleared every louse and nit away, these are the steps you need to follow, to prevent another lice infestation;
1. Continue combing and Checking everyday!!! Many people think that after seeing there child's hair lice free one time, that there done with the lice problem. When a louse lays there nits, THEY ARE IN INVISIBLE FOR THE FIRST THREE DAYS. You need to continue checking and combing, after your first initial lice treatment, even if your not finding anything!! Comb for another week! If there were no lice findings for three consecutive days, then you know your head is lice free.
2. You need to let your child's school know that he/she had lice. There's no shame or blame here! Lice don't mean your dirty!! If they won't know, your child WILL get it back & then your back to square one. (Licebgoners does camp and school lice checks).
Please think of all play dates, family members neighbors...that your child associated with, so they can have there heads checked for lice too.
3. Brushes & combs need to be boiled.
4. Any thing that your child had contact with needs to be dried, if you can't put it in the drier, bag it for 48 hours.
5. Any day that you found a louse or nits in child's hair, throw his/her linen in drier again or anything they had contact with that day.
If you are vigilant with all of the above, you will finally get rid of your lice and nits. Lots of luck. If you need help or advice please call me at 718-484-8699,Susan
