Q: Do natural lice treatments really work?                                                                            A: Yes — when they are enzyme-based and paired with proper combing. Unlike chemical treatments, enzymes target lice biologically, and lice cannot become resistant to them. Effectiveness depends on using the product correctly and combing carefully.

Q: What kills lice and eggs in one treatment?
A: No single step works alone. The most effective approach is a lice treatment that disables live lice combined with a micro-grooved metal nit comb to physically remove eggs. This combination removes both lice and nits in one session.

Q: Why do lice keep coming back after treatment?
A: Reinfestation usually happens because eggs (nits) were missed, close contacts weren’t checked, or a low-quality comb was used. Preventive spraying and follow-up checks are essential to stop the cycle.

Q: Can lice become resistant to treatment?
A: Yes — lice can become resistant to chemical treatments, which is why many families experience repeated failures with drugstore brands. Lice cannot become resistant to enzymes, making enzyme-based treatments more reliable long-term.

Q: What is the best comb for removing lice eggs?
A: The best comb is a metal, micro-grooved nit comb. Plastic combs often miss eggs because they aren’t precise enough. A professional-grade comb physically removes nits instead of relying on chemicals.

Q: How long does it take to fully get rid of lice?
A: Most families can clear lice in one to two proper treatments, followed by quick checks with a good nit comb, daily misting with a lice prevention spray, and wearing long hair in braids or buns. Consistent follow-up prevents reinfestation.

Q: Do you have to wash everything when you have lice?
A: No. Lice live on the scalp — not furniture or pets. Place sheets, pillowcases, and bath towels in a hot dryer for 20–30 minutes. Remove hair from brushes and place them in a sealed bag in the freezer for 6 hours. A sticky lint roller works well for fabric surfaces.

Q: Can only kids get lice?
A: No. Anyone can get lice — especially teens and adults in close contact situations. Only about half of people itch, so infestations often go unnoticed. Everyone in the household should be checked with a quality lice comb

Q: What should I do if I find lice on my child?
A: Act immediately. First, treat the hair. Next, section and comb thoroughly. Then check close friends and family. Follow up with a lice prevention spray. Early action prevents weeks of frustration.

Q: What is the fastest way to get rid of lice without chemicals?
A: The fastest way to get rid of lice without chemicals is to use an enzyme-based lice treatment that works quickly, combined with thorough combing using a professional-grade nit comb. Enzymes break down lice naturally, and careful combing removes both live lice and eggs without harsh pesticides.

Q: How do you know if a lice treatment worked?
A: A lice treatment has worked when no live lice are found during follow-up checks. After treatment, perform bi-weekly lice checks over the next 2–3 weeks using a good nit comb to confirm the infestation is fully cleared.

Q: Do lice live in bedding or furniture?
A: No. Lice live on the scalp, not in bedding or furniture. To be safe, put sheets, pillowcases, and bath towels in a hot dryer. Remove hair from brushes and place them in a ziplock bag in the freezer for 6 hours.
