• use a fine-tooth or special lice/nit comb.

Do one section at a time starting on top of the head. Longer hair may take 1 to 2 hours. • lift a 1-to 2-inch wide strand of hair. Place comb as close to scalp as possible and comb with a firm, even motion away from scalp. • pin back each strand of hair after combing • clean comb often. Wipe nits away with tissue and discard in a plastic bag. Seal bag and discard to prevent lice from coming back. • after combing, thoroughly recheck for lice/nits. Repeat combing if necessary. • check daily for any lice/nits that you missed • a second treatment must be done in 7 to 10 days to kill any newly hatched lice • if infestation continues, see a doctor for other treatments • Children under 2 years: ask a doctor
