NITS!!

7 replies

So my 13 year old has nits! Im struggling to to get the eggs out! Not easy when you have fake nails!

She has nit stuff on and they are coming out in the comb but the eggs are just stuck!

Does anyone know anything that will help with the eggs?

Think the nitty gritty comb can the the eggs out

P.s. the nits are the empty egg shells and the live things are lice.

Second the nitty gritty comb- wash hair and apply conditioner. Do not wash out the conditioner. Put hair in sections and run the comb 3-4 times. You will get 90 percent out the first time. Repeat for a few washes.
Do not use the comb on dry hair.

If they're really stuck, get some apple cider vinegar and soak her hair with it - it dissolves the glue that binds the eggs to the hair.

You'll have to do it every couple of days for two weeks or so.
