Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why do I have to apply this to dry hair?
Lice can close their breathing pores when they sense water. Applying the shampoo to dry hair ensures they are exposed to the active ingredients immediately, making the treatment significantly more effective.
Is one 4 oz bottle enough?
For short (ear-length) hair, one bottle provides enough for both the first and second treatments. For shoulder-length hair, you will likely need two bottles (one for each application).
Can I use this on my eyebrows or eyelashes?
No. If lice are present in the eyebrows or eyelashes, do not use this product. Consult a doctor for specialized treatment in those sensitive areas.
