DD has got nits for the first time, she has white blonde hair so it is easy to see the black/brown crawling lice. Then I can also see the eggs - teeny tiny black specs clinging on to the hair near the scalp - they are literally a spec! I treated her with some OTC stuff that came with a comb and then conditioned it all and combed out all the lice - fine - but I cannot for the life of me get all the eggs! So many of them but so tiny and hanging on so strong - I can't even get them most the time when I pull with my fingers all the way to the end. It's like the comb is way too big, it needs to be so much finer. It's metal. I've seen a few people recommend the nitty gritty comb but when I've googled it looks exactly the same as the comb that came with the treatment - far too big! Can anyone recommend anything else?
Thanks!
