DIRECTIONS

Inspect

• all household members should be checked by another person for lice and/or nits (eggs)

• use a magnifying glass in bright light to help you see the lice and nits (eggs)

• use a tool, such as a comb or two unsharpened pencils to lift and part the hair

• look for tiny nits near the scalp, beginning at the back of the neck and behind the ears

• small sections of hair (1-2 inches wide) should be examined at a time

• unlike dandruff, nits stick to the hair. Dandruff should move when lightly touched.

• if either lice or nits (eggs) are found, treat with the creme rinse

Treat

•wash hair with a shampoo without conditioner. Do not use a shampoo that contains a conditioner or a conditioner alone since this may decrease the activity of the creme rinse. Rinse with water.

• towel dry hair so it is damp but not wet

• shake the bottle well

• completely saturate the hair and scalp with the creme rinse. Begin to apply the creme rinse behind the ears and at the back of the neck.

• keep the creme rinse out of the eyes. Protect the eyes with a washcloth or towel.

• leave the creme rinse on the hair for 10 minutes, but no longer

• rinse with warm water

• towel dry hair and comb out tangles

• if live lice are seen seven days or more after the first treatment, a second treatment should be given

Remove Lice/Nits

• remove nits by combing the hair with the special small tooth comb provided. Remaining nits may be removed by hand (using a throw-away glove), or cutting the nits out.

• use the nit comb provided and make sure the hair remains slightly damp while removing nits

• if the hair dries during combing, dampen it slightly with water

• part the hair into 4 sections. Work on one section at a time. Longer hair may take more time (1-2 hours).

• start at the top of the head on the section you have picked

• with one hand, lift a 1-2 inch wide strand of hair. Get the teeth of the comb as close to the scalp as possible and comb with a firm, even motion away from the scalp to the end of the hair.

• use clips to pin back each strand of hair after you have combed out the nits

• clean the comb completely as you go. Wipe the nits from the comb with a tissue and throw away the tissue in a sealed plastic bag to prevent the lice from coming back.

• after combing, recheck the entire head for nits and repeat combing if necessary

• check the affected head daily to remove any nits that you might have missed
