Removing Head Lice and Nits (empty eggshells) (To effectively stop head lice infestation, all eggs and nits must be removed.)
Nix Creme Rinse kills head lice but does not remove the nits (eggs); Combing is the only way to effectively remove the eggs and nits. The two-sided metal Nix comb simplifies this process. After washing hair and then treating head with Nix Creme Rinse, use the wide-tooth side of comb to work through thick hair, tight curls, snarls and tangles. Use the smaller-tooth side of the comb on damp, clean and tangle-free hair and begin the comb-out to remove eggs, starting from the roots.

Comments about Nix Premium Metal Two-Sided Lice Comb, 1 ea:
I tried using the little plastic combs that come in the head lice removal kits but they clogged with eggs really quickly and it was difficult to clean them out of the teeth. However, with this comb it was easy to detangle my daughter's hair after washing it with the one side and remove the egs with the other side. Also because it is metal you do not have to worry about the teeth breaking off. It did a good job of removing the dead lice as well as the stubborn eggs from my daughter's hair.
Follow these steps for effective removal of the eggs.
Remove nits (eggs) by combing the hair using the nit comb provided.
Make sure the hair remains slightly damp while combing out the nits (eggs). Combing will be easier if you apply Nix Gel to the dampened hair.
If the hair dries during combing, damped it slightly with water and/or Nix Gel.
Par the hair into four sections. Work on one section at at 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 (eggs).
Clean the comb completely as you go. Wipe the nits (eggs) from the comb with a tissue and throw away the tissue in a sealed plastic bag to percent the lice from coming back.
After combing, recheck the entire head for nits (eggs) and repeat combing if necessary.
After repeated combing, remaining nits may be removed by hand (using a throw-away glove) or by cutting the nits out.
Check the affected head daily to remove any nits (eggs) that you might have missed.
