Removing lice and nits from your child’s hair requires using a thick oil, dimethicone, to suffocate the lice. Here’s how to effectively remove it:
How to Use Clarifying Shampoo:
The lice removal process requires the use of a thick oil (Saturating your child’s hair with dimethicone oil, ensuring it covers the entire scalp and hair strands). Massage the oil in thoroughly, making sure every area is coated. Leave the oil in overnight to maximize its effectiveness.
Step 1: Prepare with Clarifying Shampoo, it’s time to tackle the thick oil. California’s Lice Clinic Clarifying Shampoo is specially designed to remove excess oil buildup. Unlike our gentle My Mint Shampoo, this one is all about deep-cleaning to strip away the oil and any leftover lice or nits.
Step 2: How to Use Clarifying Shampoo
- Begin by generously applying Clarifying Shampoo to your child’s hair.
- Massage it in, working up a rich lather, and then let it sit for 5 minutes to ensure thorough cleansing.
- Rinse the hair thoroughly, and repeat the washing process until the hair no longer feels greasy.
Step 3: Final touches for healthy hair after clarifying, give your child’s hair a final cleanse with California’s Lice Clinic Mint Shampoo (sold separately). This gentle formula will leave the hair looking and feeling healthy, without any oily residue. Finish off with Mint Conditioner (sold separately) to soften the hair and add an extra layer of protection. Infused with peppermint essential oil, it also helps to repel lice.
Remember, one bottle of Clarifying Shampoo is perfect for treating 1-2 children. Proudly made in the USA, with a 100% happiness guarantee. If you’re not satisfied, we’ll refund your money, no questions asked.
How to Use Dimethicone Oil for Lice Removal:
- Suffocate Lice with Dimethicone Oil – Massage the dimethicone oil (sold separately) generously onto your dry scalp, ensuring complete saturation. This process effectively suffocates the lice bugs, preventing them from moving or breathing.
- Detangle Hair with Mint Detangler – Spray our Mint Detangler (sold separately) onto the ends of your hair to soften and detangle. Then, use a wide-toothed comb to gently comb out any tangles, ensuring smooth and manageable hair.
- Loosen Eggs with Foam Mousse – Apply our Foam Mousse (sold separately) to each section of your hair before using the lice comb. This helps loosen the glue of the eggs, making it easier to remove them with the comb later on.
- Thoroughly Comb Each Section – Section your hair from ear to ear and clip up the strands in sections. Using the lice comb, comb each section of hair in all four directions: up, down, left, and right. Ensure the comb touches the scalp during the process to drag out any nits and lice. Wipe the comb on a white paper towel after each combing movement to monitor progress. Continue combing until the paper towel swipes are completely clear of nits and lice. Apply more oil and mousse if the hair starts to dry out during combing.
- Overnight Treatment – Sleep with the oil in your hair overnight to maximize effectiveness in suffocating and killing the lice.
- Wash Out the Oil with Mint Shampoo & Conditioner – In the morning, wash out the dimethicone oil using our Mint Shampoo & Conditioner (sold separately). As the oil is thick for effective lice removal, you may need to wash, rinse, and repeat several times until all of the oil is completely removed from your hair.
- Repel Lice with Mint Lice Repellent – After drying your hair, spray it with our Mint Lice Repellent (sold separately) to help prevent future infestations.
For extra assurance, repeat all steps 6 days later to ensure complete elimination of lice and their eggs, following the same thorough process for best results.
