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!

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 Or you could save your sanity and call or text Nit Hunters Ottawa Lice Removal 613-212-0072  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  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!

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. - Jill |
