What is the best nit treatment for children?

I'm doing a Tesco online shop and they have Full Marks, Hedrin spray, gel or mousse.

I've used a nitty gritty comb on myself and DD and havent found anything, yet we are both still itching!! Neighbours kids had nits at the end of term, so Ive been checking DD regularly.

Although I cant find anything, I want to treat us both to be on the safe side because of the itching!

She is 4yo, never had them before and has very long hair, almost down to her bum, so I need whatever is easiest to use. Plus she HATES having her hair washed as she doesnt like water going in her eyes.....

I have to finalise the shop tomorrow, so all help appreciated, thanks
