Leme just add the lady n girl's hair texture seems so amazing. All smooth, shiny n healthy very rare thing these days to have healthy natural smooth hair
Did the first treatment, combing included, and went through the hair with a straight iron afterwards to even further reduce the number of eggs. I wonder if this last part made much sense though as one cannot really get close enough to the scalp with a flat iron... we'll see. Two kids down, one to go.
Using a flat iron really doesn’t help much. Eggs that haven’t hatched yet are so close to the scalp that you can’t really reach them with a flat iron. Just assume you’ve missed some eggs. That’s OK. Give them all the chance to hatch, but never let any lice get to the point they are 11 days old. In other words, wait 10 days and treat one more time. You’ve got this.
Does this comb work really well? I got a red one at Walgreens and its a nightmare, making it so much harder and plus I'm not good at parting hair either.
You could never comb and get rid of lice; let me explain. When you apply Lice Lessons Oil Treatment (or a similar product) to the hair, you've killed all of the live lice, including any adult lice. Whatever number of eggs are left in the hair at that point, be it 10, 100, or 1000, will start to hatch over the course of the next 10 days. You can try combing them out before that happens, you can try combing some, or you can comb not at all (of course you'll have empty egg casings left in the hair. The trick is to now kill the lice that are hatching from the eggs in the hair BEFORE they become adults and can mate and lay eggs again. Eggs can take up to 10 days to hatch, lice take 10 days to reach maturity. By applying Lice Lessons Oil Treatment 10 days after the first application (or better yet, break the 10-day hatch cycle in half by applying on day 1, 5 days later, and 5 days after that), you'll end the infestation. Combing removes the eggs or casings, but it isn't the key step, the timing of the applications of Oil Treatment is what matters most.
@@liceclinicscentralwi7671 thank you for your response. I have tried a product that says treat twice ,7 days in between. I feel this doesnt work but I will be applying the treatment again in 2 days time..it will be 7 days then. I may try the every 5 days u recommened
@@itzAurora_Xoxo what is the primary ingredient of the product you are using? No matter what you’re using, it’s only purpose is to kill the lice that are in the hair of the day you apply it (and many OTC products don’t even do a good job of that anymore). You’ve combed and tried to remove eggs. You have to assume you’ve missed some. You need to let every egg in the hair hatch, and put the product back in the hair a second time, to kill the lice that hatched from the eggs you missed. If you do this after only seven days, there’s a very good chance there will still be eggs left in the hair that haven’t hatched, and that will hatch on days eight, nine, or 10. That’s why it’s important to wait 10 days between applications, or like I’ve mentioned, do three total applications over the course of the ten-day hatching period.
@@liceclinicscentralwi7671 hi..my god I didn't see this reply, very late but they actually went,thank goodness!! Thanks for explaining the 10 day method to me. Much appreciated should they ever reoccur (please God no! )🙏 🤣
There are 2 reasons it’s so difficult to get rid of lice yourself. When you treat lice at home this is what’s supposed to happen: You put a product in the hair; it kills the lice that are there at the moment. (There is no DIY lice treatment that kills the eggs). You comb the eggs out as best you can, but have to assume you’ve missed some. You wait a certain number of days, typically 7, then put the product in the hair again to kill the lice that have hatched from any eggs you missed. Simple, right? Here’s why it doesn’t work. 1. What you used didn’t really kill all of the lice the first time. Lice have built up a tolerance to a lot of lice treatments. So if a female louse survives the first application of whatever you used, she’ll just remain in the hair laying new eggs, and you never get to the end of the hatching period. 2. Lice eggs can take up to 10 days to hatch, but most lice treatments tell you to wait 7 days between applications, so you can still have eggs hatch after the second application, and the lice come back. The “trick” using something that truly kills lice, and waiting 10 days between applications. You could not comb a single egg out and technically end the lice infestation, you’d just have empty egg casings in the hair when all is said and done.
I feel that when you’re coming the girls hair you are repeating the strokes which is making nits too come back in hair Instead you can comb the hair strand and rinse the comb with water or wipe it with a napkin so you can see the nits coming out on the napkin. Seeing the nits will help you see how much nits comes out of hair this way when you comb each strand you should have nits in each strand of hair if you don’t comb it out it will be harder the next time you comb it. Good luck on nit cleaning :)
Eggs are glued to the hair with a “cement” secreted by the female louse. Once you’ve broken that bond the egg can’t be put back. To understand how to get rid of lice you have to understand what lice are capable of and what's happening on the head when you get head lice. The female lice adhere their eggs to the hair about 1/8-1/4 inch from the scalp with a "glue". That glue is comprised of proteins that make it a lot like human hair, which is why listerine, coca cola, vinegar, etc. do absolutely nothing to aid in egg removal. Anything that would dissolve the glue would also harm the hair. The eggs are adhered close to the scalp because the heat radiating from our heads is what incubates the eggs. Lice don't lay their eggs further down in the hair as the temperature wouldn't stay consistent and the eggs wouldn't survive. (Those white "eggs" further down on the hair shaft are either empty casings or eggs that never hatched. Viable eggs with a bug still inside are brownish gray and glued to the hair close to the scalp). So again, if you disrupt that "glue" by pulling the egg further down or off the hair shaft there's no way to reattach it. When combing with a nit comb you can most certainly make multiple passes before wiping off/emptying the comb if you choose.
@@itzAurora_Xoxo, you should be combing after you’ve applied a product to kill the lice. If there are still live bugs in the hair at that point you’ve got an ineffective product.
Eggs are glued about 1/8-1/4" from the scalp. The Terminator Comb WILL remove eggs, you just need to get underneath them. The real problem isn't in getting out every egg, it's in finding a product that truly kills lice, and timing the applications of that product correctly. We have the answer for that, dimethicone, and 10 days. If you've been led to believe getting every single egg out of the hair is necessary to get rid of lice you've been mislead. An application of dimethicone to the hair will kill all lice in the hair at that moment. A thorough combing will remove eggs, but eggs will be missed. That's ok. You wait 10 days, allowing any missed eggs to hatch, the reapply dimethicone, killing the lice that have hatched from eggs you missed when you combed. If you have white or clear "eggs" left in the hair after that, those are just empty egg casings. The lice itself is gone.
@@liceclinicscentralwi7671 plus its cruel to do to a child ,sometimes u gotta work hard to get em out but that's what having kids is about ,tough work, lol
@liceclinicscentralwi7671 Stress and anxiety. I shaved my hair off last time I got it. It was my first time dealing with lice and my local clinic was not as educated as you. It took me 5 months to get rid of on myself. I finally started using the dimethicone every day for 30 days. 🫤 This time my hair was long so I cut it short to make it easier. Been dealing with this since before Thanksgiving. I was told to do Nix (2 days no shampoo/conditioner), then dimethicone for 4 days, then Nix again on the 7th day. I wish I would have found this page sooner! How do you get the Terminator comb under the nits by the scalp? Doc said to use vinegar to loosen them up but it burns my child's head.
Just bought a take home kit. Hope this works! Will be going to a clinic in two weeks for a lice check

I have a product that claims to be 80% dimethicone. Will that work?
Possibly? Is the viscosity listed? We use a 100% dimethicone with a viscosity of 350.
I've had lice since 2016. Always keep the infestation low but still persisits.
Buying this comb will ......make all the lice out of hairs as well as nits

Would u recommend combing every day for 2 weeks ?
