As promised here are 3 more tips on what not to do when removing lice & nits.
4. After you apply the product or medication to the head, it is vital that you do not re-treat the hair for 1-2 days. You will need to repeat this process several times within two weeks, but it is pointless if you re-wash the hair before a day or two. Additionally you want to give your scalp a chance to rebalance itself before continuing treatment.
5. You should not use the same head lice medication in your attempt to remove the lice more than twice on a person. It can become damaging to the hair and the scalp if used too many times. Plus, if you have to use it more than a few times the medication is most probably having no effect on the lice. The lice have developed a resistance to the ingredients in the shampoo you are using.
6. Lastly, do not mix multiple chemical products with each other when removing lice. The products may cause you to have a severe negative reaction as the ingredients of one interacts with another. This can cause harm to the hair and scalp.
It is vital to follow this “don’t do” list, when using the chemical medicinal shampoos found in drugstores, and by prescription. The more you are aware of what not to do, the more successful you will be in removing the hair lice. There are less problems if you use a non-chemical shampoo.
