Nitty Gritty Aromatherapy Head Lice Solution 150ml

This lotion does NOT kill headlice, it is meant to be used with the nitty gritty comb to remove residual headlice/nits after treatment, or to detect new infections before they get worse. I had the nitty gritty comb for a long time and always found it useless because not would not remove a single nit but was breaking my daughters hair like crazy. That's because I was using it, mistakenly, on wet (washed) hair. Using it with this lotion works wonders. Of course you can use the comb with any other oil and it also works, but I really like the smell of this lotion. What I do to keep headlice at bay is: 1- If there is a case of headlice in school or I see nits in the girls, I buy a treatment in the pharmacy and use it right away. 2- Then, every 2 days I use this lotion with the nitty gritty comb to comb their hair for a good 20-30 minutes each. There has not been a single time that a treatment (and I've tried all types and brands) has got rid of every single headlice/nit, there are always some headlice and nits that survive the treatment and come up when combing. 3- Usually, I keep seeing headlice/nits for at least 2 combing sessions, most of the times are very small headlice that hatched after treatment. But after 3-4 sessions they usually go away. Then I keep combing once a week, and then once a month as a preventive measure 4- I only do a second treatment if after the first treatment and 4-5 sessions of combing twice a week I keep seeing headlice/nits in the comb

I have two daughters with quite long hair who sadly occasionally come home from primary school with head lice. This product in combination with the nitty gritty metal comb (which you need to buy separately) works really well. The upsides are that it's a natural product so no nasty chemicals to rub into their scalps, it smells quite nice, does a great job of shining my wedding ring and it works! The downside is it's a labour intensive process (as I'm sure most treatments are). Personally I comb the hair through with the metal comb first to get rid of as many of the little sods as possible, then I comb through again with the solution. The metal comb is great for removing the lice and any eggs. In addition to the combing we also bag up all soft toys for 48hrs and change their bedding. I believe that the lice can't survive for long on things like bedding, but they can for a while which is why we take this extra precaution - maybe totally unnecessary but I wouldn't want to take the chance of clearing the lice and then getting them back the next day!! I'd highly recommend this product if using with the metal comb - I've never used it without the metal comb so unsure if it is for this reason that others have found it less effective.

After reading all the reviews and a recommendation from a friend, I bought the Nitty Gritty solution and comb. The comb is quite honestly genius. Using the solution and the comb cleared all headlice and eggs first time round. I’m not sure how people are still having headlice left after using this with the comb however I would say you do need to be meticulous with combing. I combed the hair twice as I was determined to blitz the buggers first time round. This isn’t a pesticide so won’t automatically kill all the eggs and headlice. It’s a natural remedy to help clear them. Tbh there’s really no need for the strong toxic pesticides this works brilliantly. I would say invest in the comb too, absolutely worth it and can be used on its own with conditioner if you don’t have solution. I personally prefer the solution rather than condition method as the hair is easier to handle.

This smelled lovely but after multiple applications over months, I believe that it did not kill the lice and eggs that we eventually eradicated. However it was pleasant to use as a shampoo before brushing through with the nit comb. After finally getting rid of our nits, my advice is to use whatever you have (conditioner, conditioning spray etc) that will help the nit comb glide through the hair, and to do it DAILY until they go. Yes, DAILY!!

After reading on here that this was great to use thought i would try it, i was so disappointed with it didn't work for my girls hair at all

does to job

Does not kill nits. It's only good for Using the comb to glide through the hair And makes the hair more easy to section

I bought this from amazon, having already rushed out and bought & used the nitty gritty comb. Found the comb was great - even with using just normal hair conditioner - as it removes eggs as well as live ones. But this solution made it even easier to use the comb, it makes the hair very oily and therefore easier to comb thoroughly. It was more a belts and braces approach - which when you first find a nit you want to just be sure you have got rid of them all. I wouldn't use this alone, but when used together with the nitty gritty comb (not the plastic one that comes with this) it definitely did the job. Just to make extra sure I also now spray on the nitty gritty repellent before they go to school. Am very happy to have got rid of them reasonably easily and without resorting to chemicals (that the nits are often resistant to).
