So you found lice in your child’s or your own hair. What comes next? Follow these step by step instructions for treating the problem and soon you will be lice-free.

1. Remove all clothing currently being worn, and gather clothing that may have been worn in the last few days. Put these items in a plastic garbage bag and tie the bags.

2. Apply lice treatment to hair. Choose a chemical free lice treatment that is safe for children, adults, and pets. Essential Health Australia’s 100% Natural Headlice Blitzer works well to combat lice safely. It also nourishes and conditions the hair and scalp, and it is safe for delicate and sensitive skin. Massage the treatment into the hair and scalp.

3. Comb through hair with a nit or fine-tooth comb. This helps to remove eggs that are stuck to the hair shaft. The conditioning effect of the treatment makes it easy to move the comb through hair without pulling or yanking. This means no tears due to pulled hair while combing out the nits.

4. Do not wash hair following treatment. Treatment should be left on overnight. Comb through the hair again in the morning, and then wash as normal, combing one final time after shampooing. This process should be repeated again a second time before bed. Headlice Blitzer can be applied two times per week, so you can safely continue your battle against lice and nits following the initial discovery of lice.

5. Be sure to treat the house, and wash bed linens and pillows. If items are unable to be laundered, leave them in a sealed plastic bag for at least two weeks. Furniture and carpets should be vacuumed thoroughly.

Finding lice is never fun, but if you follow these steps carefully and use an all-natural lice treatment, you will have a lice-free home in no time at all.
