Lost the box for nit mousse, wet or dry hair?

[charliecat]

After itching my head this morning i decided to check for nits and I found a big monster nit staring at me from the comb. Dont know whether to put mousse on dry hair or wet, Im wet now drying out as we speak! Its full marks mousse. Responses quick please I feel disgusting and need to de-bug NOW!!!!

Dry, I'm pretty sure!

I think its dry too, will look on the net for you now.

Thank You im off to do it now then ...What a ghastly morning, now going to be spent getting nits out, thanks again!

Have found a net page saying it should be used on dry. HTH

Thanks its on, next question! Do i leave it on for half and hour then comb the dead ones out?
I have really long permed hair and this is not going to be fun! Its making me feel ill, and it ergh Rot!

I seem to have lost the instructions (just checked my extensive collection of headlice treatments) but I'm almost certain that you have to wash the mousse out after 30 minutes (?) and then comb through your hair while it's wet. To be honest I would comb it with conditioner in to give it an extra chance. My experience with dd was that the mousse killed the bigger lice but didn't seem to affect the babies.

Thanks Tamum!I will keep combing and not looking at the comb for the next few weeks then, I cant bear to see them they make me ill.

Goodluck Charliecat
I spent yesterday evening doing dds, I am now itching myself at the thought of it The pharmacist told me you only need to comb down to "ponytail band" as they need to live close to the scalp to survive... yuk
DD went to school today coated in conditioner - poor thing. I think you may need a bar of chocolate after

Dry hair for 30 mins, then wash off and comb through with nit comb

Guess that's why you were after me this morning lol

Well, im now bald! I have ripped out chunks of my hair getting the nit comb through and that was using a whole bottle of conditioner! I didnt find any more giant monster nits, like the first one, I did find 2 suspect looking bits but couldnt bear to look any closer in case they moved and i found 1 definate egg and lots of whitey yellowy balls. My poor mum is going to have to check me later and i have checked my youngest dd and will check older one when she comes in, although i did her last night in the bath and there was nothing.
Not amused, what a waste of a day!

Yes HiddenSpirit, thats exactly why i was after you this morning, now i cant get signed into msn to chat but im sure we will chat soon

May not be on tonight as MIL is supposed to be coming down for the night. No idea for sure though at moment.

Hope you got rid of them all btw (the nits that is )
