Additional Treatment

Combing Tips

- Place a towel between the hair and shoulders of the person being treated.
- Separate the hair in to four sections using hair clips to secure them in place in preparation for combing.
- Start with a 1 inch square area of hair in first section and begin combing the hair from the scalp to the ends of the strands in one complete motion.
- Dip the comb in hot water and wipe clean with a paper towel after each comb through.
- If any nits remain on the strands, comb through again.
- Simply continue combing until all of the sections have been completed.
- Once completed, wash the clothing the treated person was wearing and the towel and comb used according to the directions below. Also wash your hands thoroughly.
Household Care
- All personal headgear, scarf's, coats, and bed linen should be disinfected by machine washing in hot water and drying, using the hot cycle of a dryer for at least 20 minutes.
