Head Lice Removal: Frequently Asked Questions
How to remove head lice?
To effectively remove head lice and nits, start by using a treatment product specifically formulated to kill head lice such as one from our KP24 Treat range. Follow the product instructions carefully, ensuring thorough coverage of the scalp and hair. After applying and rinsing off the treatment, use a fine-toothed lice comb to meticulously comb through the hair, removing any remaining nits and egg casings. This process may need to be repeated more than once to ensure complete removal of head lice and nits and to prevent reinfestation. Read more about how to remove head lice here.
How long to remove head lice?
Removing head lice and nits can be a time-consuming process that requires plenty of patience. While the initial treatment may kill the live lice and eggs, it can be easy to miss a spot. Even just a few missed eggs can restart an infestation once they hatch! It’s best to thoroughly comb out the dead lice, eggs, and any survivors from the hair. It may take several treatments and/or combings over the course of a few weeks to fully remove head lice and nits.
Can you get rid of head lice in one day?
You can effectively treat head lice in a single day using products from the KP24 Treat range and thoroughly removing them with a fine-toothed comb. However, depending on the level of infestation it may be necessary to repeat treatment and to use head lice repellent products in between treatments in order to keep the head lice away and to prevent reinfestation.
