My daughter had head lice too, while im treating her, she has her own comb and own towel.She used licealiz shampoo thrice a week as her treatment and protection for lice.

After drenching the hair, you can do a comb down with the special comb (when it is oily and wet they don't fly about). Then, wrap with a towel (turban) for about 30mins. Then wash as usual - might need to sympoo twice due to the oil. Repeat this treatment 2 to 3 times a week over two weeks. Rids the lice and gives you soft hair in the process : 😂

This is a preventive measure that we took. You need to buy a special comb from Guardian Pharmacy. We would comb her hair daily to check for any head lice and egg. You need to wash all your bedsheets and pillow cases.
