Head Lice Treatment: Frequently Asked Questions
How To treat head lice?
To effectively treat head lice, begin by using a head lice treatment or shampoo formulated to kill adult lice, such as one from our KP24 Treat range. Apply the product according to the instructions, ensuring it thoroughly covers the scalp and hair. After the treatment has killed the lice, use removal products such as a fine-toothed lice comb to carefully remove dead lice and nits from the hair (have a look at our KP24 Remove range). Finally, use prevention products designed to repel lice and prevent reinfestation, such as lice-repelling sprays, to protect against future outbreaks (have a look at our KP24 Repel & Prevent range).
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
How long does head lice treatment take?
The duration of head lice treatment varies depending on the specific product used. Some treatments are designed to be left in the hair for as little as ten minutes, while others may require application for several hours to be effective.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
What happens if I don't treat head lice?
Head lice infestations can worsen and spread to other people if not treated quickly and effectively. While head lice do not pose a serious health risk, infestations can be itchy, embarrassing and hard to control. Head lice infestations do not go away on their own.
