Inspect

• Check each household member with a magnifying glass in bright light for lice/nits (eggs)
• Look for tiny nits near scalp, beginning at back of neck and behind ears
• Examine small sections of hair at a time
• Unlike dandruff which moves when touched, nits stick to the hair
• If either lice or nits are found, treat with this product

Treat

• Shake well before using
• Apply thoroughly to DRY HAIR or other affected area. For head lice, first apply behind ears and to back of neck.
• Allow product to remain for 10 minutes, but no longer
• Use warm water to form a lather, shampoo, then thoroughly rinse
• For head lice, towel dry hair and comb out tangles

Remove lice and their eggs (nits)

• Use a fine-tooth or special lice/nit comb. Remove any remaining nits by hand (using a throw-away glove).
• Hair should remain slightly damp while removing nits
• If hair dries during combing, dampen slightly with water
• For head lice, part hair into sections. Do one section at a time starting on top of head. Longer hair may take 1 to 2 hours.
• Lift a 1- to 2-inch wide strand of hair. Place comb as close to scalp as possible and comb with a firm, even motion away from scalp.
• Pin back each strand of hair after combing
• Clean comb often. Wipe nits away with tissue and discard in a plastic bag. Seal bag and discard to prevent lice from coming back.
• After combing, thoroughly recheck for lice/nits. Repeat combing if necessary.
• Check daily for any lice/nits that you missed
• A second treatment must be done in 7 to 10 days to kill any newly hatched lice
• If infestation continues, see a doctor for other treatments
