Although frustrating and difficult to do, the removal of lice nits is a major step in getting rid of head lice infestation. Nits, which are the yellowish white eggs of lice, attach themselves to hair strands close to the scalp.  Even if you use a lice shampoo and lice comb you must remove every nit. If you leave one nit behind it will mature and lay new lice eggs.

So how do you go about removing all lice nits?

Removing nits is difficult, but not impossible. First off, they’ve evolved and are resistant to most head lice shampoos and treatments. Their small size just adds to the difficulty in removing them. The first part to removing nits is to brush or comb the hair to remove all tangles.  Once the hair is tangle free you can massage in thoroughly a good preferably all natural head lice shampoo. The LICENDERS Professional head lice shampoo works well. After following the directions carefully on the shampoo use a fine toothed lice comb to comb out remaining nits.

In the next post I will continue to discuss the topic of removing lice nits.
