Nits on a Sunday night

[PetuniaK]

Any recommended home solution please? I was just ready to head to our big Tesco and DH reminded me that’s it Sunday so everywhere is closed 🙈

Do you have a nit comb? You could put conditioner in comb through thoroughly this evening until you can get to a chemist tomorrow.

Unfortunately no nit comb or any comb. We’ve never had to use one. I might try conditioner and a shower cap… till midnight when Tesco will hopefully open.

I wouldn’t think Tesco would open until the morning.

I wouldn't bother going at midnight, just go tomorrow in the morning.

Do you have any close friends locally you could ask to borrow a nit comb from?

That won't do anything. The condioner just helps you comb them out. Just leave them be until tomorrow.

There will be a 24 hour chemist somewhere near you

Late night pharmacy?
Local fb group to see if any has some spare you can buy off them - I have loads as I stockpiled when my son was getting them regularly and we blitz them to death one summer holiday.

Olive oil preferably with teatree oil added. Soak hair, wrap in clingfilm and leave overnight.

I would ask family and friends of anyone has a comb/treatment. Most areas also have a 24hr pharmacy.

Google late night pharmacy they will have nit combs and treatments although in my experience conditioner and combing is the best strategy.

I agree you should ask friends. Nots recently went round the kids class and we have ended up with 4 of the nit combs from boxes of Vamousse, and half a bottle of the Nit Shampoo left over too- if you were a friend I'd pop it over to you.

Hi
As a primary school teacher I was plagued by head-lice. Head over a large white towel and brush your hair for three to five minutes. This will loosen the lice. Then wet hair and over the bath condition and brush again. Rinse off. I never used a nit comb or products. Repeat for three days. Hope this helps 🙏

I'd condition and brush with whatever you have, then use straighteners as close to the scalp as you can.
Go buy a (nit) comb when the shops open on monday morning. I very much doubt tesco will open at midnight. 6am maybe.

Hair dryer hot heat

Thank you all. Straight to Tesco for opening at 6am. Bought all of the potions and sprays 😂 Heads all a lot less itchy. The special nit comb (with a lot of conditioner) was brilliant. Will repeat in the next couple of days 🙏

See this nhs link for best sort of time gaps for nit removal. 1,5,9,13 and a check on day 17 to ensure you catch newly hatched nits before they can reproduce.
