Nits.
Itchy, scratchy, wiggly, squirmy, blood sucking mites breeding and reproducing and inhabiting the heads of our once flawless little children, turning them into vermin infested creatures.
It is estimated that 25% of primary school children have nits at any one time. Tiny two millimetre monsters digging their claws into the scalps of our offspring, devouring their blood and laying at least six to eight eggs a day to help reinforce their populations.

It's no wonder they are so bloody hard to get rid of.
Once they’ve invaded your territory it can seem almost impossible to get rid of them. You try lotions and creams, combs and expensive little electric zapping machines that claim to zap the little buggers before they can drink another drop of your blood.

The only method that is proven to work is to REMOVE EVERY ADULT AND EGG! It doesn't matter what you're using, conditioner, chemical treatment or natural remedy, if you miss just ONE of them the cycle continues. It's that simple. This is why you get a reinfestation, human error. Sorry to burst your bubble!
I don't see how using conditioner and a
comb is going to kill the lice to stop the cycle.
You're suppose to do it daily for two weeks to ensure all eggs and lice are removed
Lice can't cling on to hair with conditioner on it. Comb through to remove them & then shampoo.
Yes, but that doesnt "kill" the lice.
Yes. But it does not "kill" the lice.
