just had our first outbreak in year 7! Dd is adhd and won’t sit still to have her hair combed for hours! Used derbac m, combed as much as possible over next 7 days (only found eggs) then repeated treatment and combed again and on day 11 found a newly hatched louse! I use a microscope app on my phone to check! Going to do a final treatment tonight (day 12)…only found possibly one egg this morning, do you think we are nearly clear? I am really phobic with these! Thank you

When you are clear use leave in conditioner then the nits can’t cling to the hair
