Shampoo for Lice & Nit Removal- 350ml Highly Effective After One 15 Minute Application

Let me start by saying 1st that I did not have actual lice. (I'm thinking that might have been a cheaper and easier problem to get rid of lol). My house, my pet's hair, and my hair all became invested with Mite Larva which was really disgustingly gross. They came out of hiding through the furnace vents, closets, etc. within a day of the basement flooding.Long story short, the mite larva appeared following the flooding of my basement when my sump pump went out, this apparently ran off all the mice that had apparently been traveling between my attic and basement for lord knows how many years. (I have lived here for years, and have never seen a mouse in the house, nor any indication that mice were even present, but apparently they were). When the mice left following the basement flooding, 1st came the no seeums, followed by the mites looking for a new host, and then the mite larva soon followed. (Folks it was so gross). Thankfully with much expense, and removing all the old insulation from my attic and replacing it with new insulation, and an entire house spraying, the exterminators were able to get the problem in the house under control, but it was up to me to get rid of the problem on my pets and myself.I treated the pets with the recommended name brand flea, and tick treatment, gave them multiple baths in flea shampoo, Dawn dishwashing liquid, and tea tree oil, removed all the larva with a nit comb, and dusted them, and their clean washed in hot water, & dried on high heat bedding with food grade DE.I treated myself with a name brand Lice shampoo, combed through my hair with a nit comb, but when that didn't work, I coated my hair completely in olive oil, vinegar, tea tree oil, Denorex, etc.. I even covered my own clean bedding with food grade DE, and slept on it after having also sprayed myself down from head to toe with 40% Deet, but they wouldn't go away. The Denorex helped kill some of them, but it about set my head on fire in the process, so I had to keep searching for a solution that would end the nightmare.I finally decide after reading the reviews to try this shampoo even though it too was for lice. After leaving it on for 1 hour- as recommended in several other reviews (not just the 20 min recommend time on the directions), and after using it just 1 time thankfully it did the trick). This shampoo has a nice scent, although it didn't seem to lather a lot for me, but I coated my hair completely in it anyway, combed it through, put on a shower cap, and prayed lol.The shampoo almost felt like I was coating my hair in petroleum jelly, and I wondered how matted my hair was going to be afterwards, but once I rinsed it out, my hair was soft, manageable, felt amazing, and best of all, I was completely Bug Free, finally, and thankfully I haven't been bothered with them since. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that gross buggy ordeal will remain a thing of the past (not something I'll soon forget though).I know my story is a gross one, believe me I really know because I was forced to live the horror. As embarrassing as it is/was I thought I'd tell the story anyway because what happened to me could happen to anyone. I live in a very nice home, keep my home clean, my pets clean, and myself clean, yet there were icky rodents hiding in the walls that I was not even aware were there that left behind their yuckiness that invaded my entire home, and life within 1 days’ time, but thankfully this shampoo helped rid my hair of what they left behind. I might repeat a treatment just to be on the safe side, but for now there appears to be no reason to really do so.

Seems to work well when used as instructed (apply to dry hair, leave in for 15 minutes with occasional massaging, rinse out, and COMB). No it doesn't smell great and isn't quite odorless, but it's not horrible (in my opinion, at least). After hearing that many lice these days are resistant to existing OTC chemical shampoos and preferring to avoid the "pesticide" route if possible, we tried several "natural" or "less medicated" solutions: Cetaphyl (I actually like this one, but it requires repeat "dosing" over a couple of weeks, a long comb-out process - but what solution doesn't? and a day of broom hair after each application), olive oil under a shower cap (really messy), rubbing alcohol, combing, combing, combing, etc. I'm honestly not sure if the ingredients in this shampoo are truly "biosafe," but the shampoo is pesticide free and none of the ingredients raise major alarm bells for me (from the producers website: Ingredients: Polyethylene Glycol (Medical Grade), Proprietary Blend of Cocamide DEA (From Coconut Oil), Filtered Water, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate (From Coconut), Propanediol (From Corn), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride (From Coconut), Citric Acid No Color, No Fragrance, No Petroleum Based Or Animal Ingredients Added. No Pesticides Added. Cruelty Free.). This shampoo really does seem to get rid of the active lice (or stun them to the point they are rinsed or combed out easily) and loosen the nits. The nits seem to come out easier in the after-rinse comb-out than in a comb-out without the shampoo. We've done the lice thing two springs in a row now that my daughters are in elementary school, so I have a bottle of this to mix into regular shampoo occasionally (as the instructions suggest to ward off future infestations), a couple of bottles of Cetaphyl, a couple of the Nit Free metal combs, and Fairy Tales spray (also for prevention) on hand. I would love if next spring could be lice-free, but at least I feel confident in my current arsenal.

For Christmas vacation my 9 y/o daughter brought home lice from school. This is only the 2nd time she has ever had lice and my very first. We have been using Fairy Tales Rosemary Repel Conditioning Spray for a couple of years very successfully. I believe my daughter has been slacking off using it as she has been doing her morning hygiene independently this school year. Our 1st treatment was with the Walgreens version of Nix. I knew the next day that it hadn't worked on either of us even with combing. After giving it a couple of days, I bought 2 bottles of Licefreee spray on a family recommendation. It took almost a whole bottle to saturate my long hair which is a few inches past my shoulders. This and another thorough combing (1.5 hrs) worked; my itching stopped and today, at day 7, I have no signs of lice. My daughter seemed to be doing the same until yesterday (day 6) when she started noticeably itching a lot. A good check of her hair this morning showed more nits than I expected but not as heavy like before the 1st treatment.I ordered this shampoo last week because it claimed to dissolve the nit glue but instead tried the Licefreee spray first. I used this product on both of us today as a 2nd treatment (or another 1st on the kiddo). I was unsure how it was going to work but anything that will get these suckers to release sounded good to me.This is a clear, thick gel shampoo. It applies like you would expect a shampoo on dry hair would. My daughter's hair is thick, slightly curly with lots of body and almost to her shoulders in length. The gel was a little difficult to spread through her hair but after wetting my hands with a little water it went through to her scalp a little easier. There is not much of a smell which was a welcome relief. The faint smell is slightly mediciney and I think only noticeable because of the amount of product used at once. After washing it out, conditioning with a regular conditioner and brushing with a detangling brush, we found 5 dead adult lice that had basically brushed out onto the floor. After the shock we did a happy dance. I don't know what I was expecting exactly but that was not it. I did not comb her hair right away today because of time constraints and my thinking that the nits were mostly going to wash out. When I checked her hair several hours later after it was dry, I could see a lot of nits still in her hair. After re-reading the description and the answered questions here again, I realized that I mistakenly thought most of them would magically wash away. Since I did not comb through her hair right after the treatment I can't say one way or the other if the nits will comb out easier. However, I am optimistic after seeing what it did to the adult lice. I plan on re-treating with this shampoo again in a few days and will do a thorough comb out then. I will update this review after that. After treating both of us, we still have about a half a bottle of shampoo left. I ordered 2 more bottles tonight to use to hopefully end this outbreak and have some on hand just in case there is a next time!

Hard to put on dry hair but once wet it foams up like shampoo so it's nice when washing out ! Also I was massaging it in my daughters hair and the shampoo i ate away the nail polish on my nails which I thought was super weird ! lol not a big deal though !

It seemed to do the job well, killed the lice! It is not only safer to use, the Oder didn’t bother, like nix or them other high $ treatments!
