- Do not wet hair first. Apply the shampoo thoroughly to DRY HAIR or the affected area.
- For head lice, ensure you apply behind the ears and to the back of the neck.
- Allow the product to remain for 10 minutes, but no longer.
- Use warm water to form a lather, shampoo, and then rinse thoroughly.
Step 2: REMOVE
- While hair is still damp, use the included nit comb to remove remaining lice and eggs section by section.
- Clean the comb frequently with a tissue and discard nits in a sealed plastic bag.
Step 3: REPEAT
- Crucial: A second treatment MUST be performed in 7 to 10 days to kill any newly hatched lice before they can lay more eggs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Major Lice Shampoo as strong as the brand name?
Yes. As a generic equivalent to RID® Max Strength, it contains the same concentration of active ingredients (4% Piperonyl Butoxide) to ensure equal efficacy.
How much shampoo do I need for long hair?
For hair past shoulder length, you typically need 3–4 oz per application. This 2-pack (8 oz total) is the ideal amount for someone with long hair to complete both the first and second treatments.
Why do I have to wait 7–10 days for the second dose?
No treatment kills 100% of nits (eggs). The 7–10 day window allows any remaining eggs to hatch, but kills the new lice before they are old enough to lay a new generation of eggs.
