Description from the creator
How to get rid of nits
Nits and lice are an ongoing problem for parents of primary school kids. Forget the expensive chemicals, there's only one sure way to get rid of them. Watch the video for the best way to get rid of nits and head lice.
1. Cover your child's hair with conditioner. This just makes it easier to comb through every strand. And, assuming the conditioner is white, it also makes the lice easier to see on the comb.
2. Work in sections. Start on one side of the head, around the ear, section off a portion of hair that will fit through the comb all at once.
3. Comb slowly from the scalp right to the end. If your child has lice or nits, you'll see them appear on the comb.
4. Use a tissue to clean out the comb before you go in again.
5. Comb the same section again until the nit comb comes up clean.
6. Now move to the next section.
7. Keep going until you have combed through all of your child's hair.
Next you need to:
Treat the entire family. Comb everyone's hair out.
Wash all pillows and bedding.
Clean your nit comb (soak it in vinegar or boil it for 10 minutes)
Repeat the whole process a week later.
Some mothers claim that maintaining constant vigilance - i.e. a weekly comb-out ritual - is the only way to control the inevitable nit infestations that come along with primary school life.
If you're still not sure, watch the video to see how to comb nits and lice out of your child's hair.
