Have you tried a Nitty Gritty?

Hi I have three daughters and headline is a huge problem. In my experience it's best to use a nitty gritty comb after applying conditioner in the bath or shower. I then spray tea tree oil which has been added to water. Keep going through their hair daily with the comb - you will get rid of them.

Nitty gritty and lyclear worked for us. I used condition when combing daily.

Is nitty gritty any special comb?

A nit comb and lyclear, luckily my 8yr old has only had it once, she also has quite thick hair and this got rid pretty quickly.

It is. When hair is smothered with conditioner, it whisks out lice and nits. It can take an absolute age to do (DS has only chin length hair and it takes at least 20 mins to do thoroughly) but worth it.
