Comments about Nix Complete Lice Treatment System, 1 set:
in our school district, lice run rampant. i can't tell u how many times my kids have been infested. both rid and nix contain pesticides and the lice are becoming immune to them. I usually use a combination of both
PLUS I use the ROBI COMB! it is a comb that sends an electrical current and will ZAP the lice and kill them. You can also HEAR when it stops buzzing so you can see if you found a nit or a live lice bug or not. At first glance the comb may seem expensive but it is WELL worth the price. You can keep it onhand and check your keeps weekly and prevent a major infestation!

Comments about Nix Complete Lice Treatment System, 1 set:
I have a complaint about this product. I have bought it once and it did not work. I used the conditioner that I bought from my local Wal-Mart. I was disappointed that it did not work for me. I still have it in my hair. I have used Rid as well and that did not work either. I had to cut my hair short.
Read all directions in the Consumer Information Insert and warnings before use. Keep the carton. If contains important information.
Inspect
All household members should be checked by another person for lice and/or nits (eggs).
Use a magnifying glass in bright light to help you see the lice and nits (eggs).
Use a tool, such as a comb or two unsharpened pencils to lift and part the hair.
Look for tiny nits near the scalp, beginning at the back of the neck and behind the ears.
Small sections of hair (1-2 inches wide) should be examined at a time.
Unlike dandruff, nits stick to the hair. Dandruff should move when lightly touched.
If either lice or nits (eggs) are found, treat with Creme Rinse.
Treat
Wash hair with a shampoo without conditioner. Do not use a shampoo that contain a conditioner or a conditioner alone since this may decrease the activity of Nix. Rinse with water.
Towel dry hair so it is damp but not wet.
Shake the bottle of Nix well.
Completely saturate the hair and scalp with Nix. Begin to apply NIX behind the ears and at the back of the neck.
Keep Nix out of the eyes. Protect the eyes with a washcloth or towel.
Leave NIX on the hair for 10 minutes, but no longer.
Rinse with warm water.
Towel dry hair and comb out tangles.
If live lice are seen seven days or more after the first treatment, a second treatment should be given.
Remove Lice/Nits
Remove nits by combing the hair with the special small tooth comb provided. Remaining nits may be removed by hand (using a throw-away glove), or cutting the nits out.
Use the nit comb provided and make sure the hair remains slightly damp while removing nits.
If the hair dries during combing, dampen it slightly with water.
Part the hair into 4 sections. Work on one section at a time. Longer hair may take more time (1-2 hours).
Start at the top of the head on the section you have picked.
With one hand, lift a 1-2 inch wide strand of hair. Get the teeth of the comb as close to the scalp as possible and comb with a firm, even motion away from the scalp to the end of the hair.
Use clips to pin back each strand of hair after you have combed out the nits.
Clean the comb completely as you go. Wipe the nits from the comb with a tissue and throw away the tissue in a sealed plastic bag to prevent the lice from coming back.
After combing, recheck the entire head for nits and repeat combing if necessary.
Check the affected head daily to remove any nits that you might have missed.
