Head Lice REmoval  Tips & Tricks

Head Lice and Hair Trends

6/21/2019

 
Picture

​Head lice follow all the latest hair trends! Long, wavy, curly hair make it that much more difficult to eradicate an infestation. Hair colour and bleach may affect live bugs if smothered in it but the eggs are unaffected. Save your sanity - call or text Nit Hunters Ottawa Lice Removal for clean hair and a 30 day lice free guarantee

Lice and Family Gatherings

5/11/2019

 
Easter gatherings with friends and family can increase the risk of contracting head lice. Kids are so busy playing, hunting for eggs and eating chocolates they don’t pay attention to their hair. If you see anything suspicious like constant head scratching at the base of the head, or little dark seeds stuck on the hair, get a second opinion. Save your sanity!

Oil or Conditioner when removing Lice and Eggs?

4/6/2019

 
Why is it better to utilize oil than conditioner when removing lice and eggs? Oil is more viscuous and will catch the first stage nymphs - the very small hatchlings that often survive lice shampoos and ineffective combing. Not all oils work as effectively as others. We use oils proven to neutralize lice and their eggs. Plus, your hair will feel soft and silky afterwards. Save your sanity! Call or text Nit Hunters Ottawa Lice Removal 613-212-0072

Essential Oils and Lice Removal

2/28/2019

 
At Nit Hunters Ottawa Lice Removal, we come across a lot of people who have used essential oils to get rid of their family’s lice infestations without success. This is probably happening for one of two reasons:

1) you need to use more of the essential oil and it needs to be applied and dispersed properly in the hair

2) essential oils vapours evaporate up into the air and are less active - use a heavy duty shower cap over the hair to keep the vapours over the hair

Dandruff or Lice Eggs??

2/12/2019

 
Dandruff can resemble lice eggs to the untrained eye. It can even have similar symptoms to head lice (itchiness, red bumps). When in doubt, check it out! Save your sanity, call or text Nit Hunters Ottawa Lice Removal 613-213-0072 ​

How Big Are Lice?

2/7/2019

 
​This is why when you are looking for bugs or eggs in your child’s hair you don’t see anything. Head lice can move like crabs in the hair - forwards, backwards, sideways, diagonal - and they avoid movement and bright light. So it’s a bit like hide and seek until you get an explosion of bugs and eggs and you see them everywhere (usually around the 4 week mark). Eggs measure 0.8 mm in length and 0.3 mm in width - not quite microscopic but small indeed. Put your mind to rest, when in doubt check it out!

Are Cushions the Culprit? NO

2/3/2019

 
A lot of people incorrectly believe lice will be all over their couch or cushions once one of their children has head lice. This may be true for other human parasites but not really for head lice. They much prefer staying put on your scalp. They’ll migrate to another scalp though because they can smell ‘new territory’! Get the facts, call or text Nit Hunters Ottawa Lice Removal ☺️

Is Do It Yourself Lice Removal Worth It??

1/28/2019

Lice in Middle School and High School

1/24/2019

 
​When kids are in middle and high school, lice tends to spread around the social group. This is frustrating for many parents because teenagers tend to be in denial about their infestations and are embarrassed to tell their friends about it. Thus lice can bounce around from friend to friend to friend for quite some time. Don’t let this be you! Save your sanity, get the facts and call Nit Hunters Head Lice Removal Service!

Teenagers can get lice if someone in their social group has it.

Do Moms Get Lice?

1/16/2019

 
“I don’t see anything,” says your partner after you find out your child has a lice infestation. Approximately 50% of moms get a bug from their children and they exhibit no symptoms. This is because their infestation is very light, maybe just a few eggs, maybe just one bug. Save your time and sanity, get checked by a professional, call Nit Hunters Head Lice Removal in Ottawa.

And Then There Was Nit Hunters...

A couple of years ago, my sons contracted head lice and unknowingly passed it on to me. I have long, thick, textured hair and it was very difficult to treat myself. I learned the hard way that drugstore products don’t really work. 

This was my family's first time having lice and I quickly realized that our options were limited. Most places insisted on two treatments before they would offer any kind of guarantee. I didn't like that. If I was going to spend money I wanted results. I ended up frustrated and disappointed. 

After spending hundreds of dollars to have our family treated, only to have lice return within 2 weeks, I thought it was time to offer the people of Ottawa another head lice removal option. My research took me to the U.S where I was extensively trained by head lice experts with more than 20 years of lice and nit removal experience. Nit Hunters was born (yay us!).


If you have hit the point where you need professional help, give Nit Hunters a call at 613 212 0072. You’ll only need one treatment and we guarantee our work for a full 30 days.
