Treat

  • use only amount needed to completely cover hair and scalp, up to 1 entire tube, and discard the remaining
  • rub product throughout your hair
  • it is important to completely cover your entire head so that all lice and eggs are exposed to the lotion. Be sure that each hair is coated from the scalp to the tip.

Wait and rinse

  • allow product to stay on your hair and scalp for 10 minutes after it has been applied. Use a timer or clock. Start timing after you have completely covered your hair and scalp with product.
  • after 10 minutes, rinse product completely from your hair and scalp using only water
  • after rinsing, dry and style as usual. Wait 24 hours before applying shampoo.

After treatment

  • wash your hands after applying product
  • nit combing is not necessary when treating with product for it to work, but if desired, a fine-tooth comb or special nit comb may be used to remove dead lice and nits
  • this is a single use product. Discard tube after use.
  • do not use again on the same person and same lice infestation without talking to a healthcare provider first
  • if infestation continues, see a doctor for other treatments
  • machine wash any bedding and clothing used by anyone having lice. Machine wash at high temperatures (150°F) and tumble in a hot dryer for 20 minutes.
