morning all,

my daughter had a small bug but I’m unsure wether it was a flea on her hair this morning (we do have a cat). I think looking back it was too big to be a bit but I want to treat her anyway just in case. What is the best treatment to use please on her and myself!

thanks so much in advance 🫶

Nitty gritty comb and a ton of conditioner to confirm infestation

Definitely nitty gritty comb, we've found nitwits spray the best thing and doesn't smell like perming lotion either. You can get it on Amazon

When I do check, as a precaution, I slather their hair in condition and comb through with a nit comb, checking to see if there’s anything there. The Nitty Gritty comb is really good.

DC caught it once and I treated it with Hedrin followed by Nit Not two times.

NitWits on amazon. Absolutely swear by it. Really greasy stuff though, my advice is to do it while they are already sat having a bath and then the while lot can go down the plughole afterwards.

Usually needs two shampoos to get it out afterwards.
