3. Wet combing
Wet combing is the systematic combing of hair with a comb specifically designed to remove lice and/or eggs. Due to the nature of their life cycle, this needs to be done over two weeks, on days one, five, nine and 13. Detection combing should be done again on day 17 to check all lice have been removed.
4. Alternative options
Products based on natural ingredients, such as Puressentiel Anti-Lice Treatment Lotion, are also available.
