Lice have been bothering human beings for centuries. Lice have a negative effect not only on the child's mood but also on his general health and they grow in the hair of the head.
There are different ways to treat head lice, but mechanical and chemical removal of lice is considered more successful, we tell you how to use it.
Mechanically, a normal hair conditioner is applied to dry hair. Apply conditioner to all the hair and comb the hair with a normal comb and divide the hair into separate sections. The conditioner does not kill the lice but it paralyzes them for about 20 minutes. Makes it easy to get them out.
Then comb the hair with a thin metal lice comb, comb the lice, remove the eggs and paralyzed lice, wipe the comb with a white tissue and check for lice or lice, keep combing until the tissue But stop seeing more lice.
This is the preferred method of treating lice lice because it is effective, it does not cause pesticide resistance in lice and also has a lower risk of skin inflammation. Another mechanical method is to take a shower. Keep a good comb and keep the comb in the hair every time the family members wash their hair, thus ensuring that the lice are caught before laying too many eggs.
If you choose to use a chemical method, remember to follow the instructions carefully. If the effect of a chemical medicine does not show, do not be tempted to re-apply the same medicine. Instead, apply another medicine that contains different chemicals. Yes, you need to repeat the treatment after 7 days to get rid of the new lice that come out of the eggs.
