Head lice treatments don’t always bring instant results
but that is not the same as failure. When customers
contact us for re-assureance about NITMIX head lice
treatment it is often an opportunity to bring out some
information that will benefit other users too.

Here is an example from a mom in England.

Subject: NITMIX SOLUTION

I brought some of your Nitmix products before Christmas
and may I say how quickly these items were delivered to me.

I was at my wits end, my daughter has had lice constantly
for months and now my son has also had them on and off.
I have used your Nitmix Combing Aid and have been astounded
by the results and the amount of lice that it removed in
the first go.

However, even though the amount of lice on the head have
reduced and I am spraying their heads each morning with the
diluted solution of the drops, they are still bringing
headlice home. It seems that the school constantly has an
outbreak of this, I was just wondering if I was using the
product correctly, or if other children are still bringing
them into school, I can’t really do much about it, other
than keep combing my childrens hair as I have been doing.

However, I would still like to state that your product has
most definitely been the best I have tried on my childrens
hair. Any further thoughts would be most gratefully
acknowledged.

Best regards

Here is our answer To A*****

Thank you for your message. We can work out what is
really going on from what you observe.

Because this method of combing takes out all sizes of
head lice in the hair it is like getting a snap shot of
the lice population present at an time.

For example. If you have very recently comb the hair as
we direct using the NITMIX Wet Combing Aid but then you
suddenly find adult lice in the children’s hair you can
be absolutely certain that these are newly arrived from
another chills head.

There is no way an adult louse slipped through the comb
and no way that a juvenile louse or a newly hatch louse
could suddenly jump to this size. Hence it is a new
arrival and the children’s friend are the most likely
source.

If you find tiny juvenile head lice a few days after
a combing session this tells that there were still a
few viable eggs attached the hair somewhere and these
have now hatched.

Juvenile head lice ( like tiny grains of sand) have
always been born on the head you find them on as it is
utterly beyond their capability to move from head to
head at this size.

Finding these baby lice is no problem because you will
scoop them out long before they can mature and lay any
eggs themselves.

If you find a mixture of sizes even after several combing
sessions it indicate both things are happening. That you
still need to remove the late hatchlings from the last
viable eggs on that head and that someone closer to your
child is topping them back up with new adult lice.

In this situation we recommend that you quietly and
gently carry on combing your child but also have a quick
comb of everyone else’s hair. You can be amazed who else
may unknowingly have head lice. So far we have discovered
it to be brothers, sisters, moms,dads, granny and the
child minder!

The great thing about combing out head lice with the
NITMIX Wet Combing Aid is that you are always making
progress towards your target of clean healthy lice free
hair and any discovery is a positive step toward your
goal.

Whatever you discover in your chills hair it is good
because you have removed it and it also helps you
understand just where you are in the removal process.

I think you are doing fine. Just space a few combing
sessions nor further than a couple of days apart and
you will be in the clear.

Keep up the daily spraying because you want any new
arrivals (head lice) to think that they have arrived in
a very unsuitable new home and hence don’t start laying
eggs or feeding. You will soon scoop them out and put
them down the drain where they belong.

It was a very good and sensible question to ask and I
am sure you will use the answer to polish of this problem
very quickly.
