Useful Product Information

The directions for use of our products are included on the back label of each product. However we recommend highlighting the following points in order to achieve the best possible results:

Nit-Enz Certified Organic Shampoo

• ALWAYS use a shower cap when live lice are present and make sure the whole scalp is smothered in Nit-Enz Certified Organic Shampoo for at least 20 minutes!

• Our shampoo is not a systemic poison (it doesn't poison the head lice from the inside). It is very important that a shower cap is worn as the vapour created by our unique blend of Certified Organic Pine Extracts is required to achieve maximum results.

• We recommend the use of a conditioner afterwards as pine extract can be drying for some hair types. This also helps detangle the hair prior to nit combing.

• Once all of the head lice and eggs have been removed with the initial treatments, be sure to continue using our shampoo at least once a week, leaving in for a good 5 minutes each time and condition as normal afterwards. We say at least once a week as it takes 7 days for their eggs to begin hatching. The eggs will go bright white which means they will not hatch, continued use in this way eliminates the need for combing!

Nit-Enz Head Lice Repellent Hair Gel and Hair Spray

• The most effective way to use our Head Lice Repellent Hair Gel is to smother it between your hands first and then run it through the hair ensuring complete coverage of all layers, including the scalp.

• Complete coverage is also required for maximum results with our Head Lice Repellent Hair Spray. Suggestions for achieving saturation are segmenting the hair, spraying each area & brushing through from scalp to tip. Try tipping your head upside down to spray under the hair.

• Any area that is not completely covered with a Nit-Enz Head Lice Repellent product is vulnerable to re-infestation. It is important to re-apply repellents after swimming, getting caught in the rain or excessive sweating as efficacy can be compromised due to dilution of the product.

• We recommend tying up longer hair when ever in contact with others that may be infested.

PLEASE NOTE:

Nit-Enz has observed head lice very much alive more than 24 hours after removal from a human host! If re-infestation is an issue all possible sources should be investigated (friends and family, school environment etc) and all linen, hats, hairbrushes etc that have had direct contact should be washed & dried in a hot dryer. We suggest adding a squirt of our Certified Organic Shampoo to the wash for added protection.
