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.

Suggested Use:

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.
