Q: Do natural lice treatments really work? A: Yes — when they are enzyme-basedand 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 professional-grade metal nit combto physically remove eggs. This combination removes both lice and nits in one thorough 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 productsand follow-up checks are essential to stop the cycle.
Q: Can lice become resistant to treatment? A: Yes. Lice have developed resistance to many chemical treatments such as permethrin and pyrethrin. Enzyme-based approacheswork differently, which is why resistance does not occur.
Q: Do lice prefer clean or dirty hair? A: Lice do not prefer dirty hair. They are attracted to the human scalp for feeding, regardless of hygiene. Anyone can get lice.
Q: Does itching always mean lice? A: No. Only about 50% of people with lice experience itching. Itching is an allergic reaction to lice saliva, so some people can have a significant infestation with no itching at all.
Q: How long does lice treatment take? A: Treatment time depends on hair length and thickness, but most thorough treatmentstake 60–90 minutes, including careful combing.
Q: Can lice live on furniture, bedding, or pets? A: Head lice are species-specific and require a human scalp to survive. Pets do not get head lice. Normal laundering of bedding is sufficient; extreme household cleaning is unnecessary.
Q: Should everyone in the household be treated? A: Everyone should be checked, but only those with confirmed lice or nits should be treated. Preventive routines can help reduce the risk of reinfestation.
