- Apply thoroughly to DRY HAIR or the affected area. For head lice, apply behind ears and to the back of the neck first.
- Allow the product to remain for 10 minutes, but no longer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much shampoo do I need?
For short (ear-length) hair, one 4 oz bottle is usually enough for both the first and second treatments. For shoulder-length hair, you will likely need two bottles (one per treatment), and for longer hair, up to 4 oz per application.
Why must I wait 7 to 10 days to repeat the treatment?
Lice treatments primarily kill adult lice. The 7 to 10-day window allows any remaining eggs to hatch, ensuring the second treatment kills the new lice before they are old enough to lay a new generation of eggs.
Does it work on eyebrows or eyelashes?
No. Do not use this product on lice in eyebrows or eyelashes. If lice are present in those areas, please consult a physician for specialized care.
