[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not familiar with heat treatments, but if you want extra peace of mind I would do a complete comb through every other day for a week. The last time we got professional help with this (years ago before heat treatments were an option) they said to divide the hair into 6 different segments and put a rubber band around each section. Use the tip of a comb to section the hair very neatly (no overlapping pieces between sections). Undo one section at a time, spray with water and rub a bunch of Pantene conditioner in. Then run the lice come through several times and wipe the comb on a paper towel after each pass-through. Run your fingers through the conditioner residue each time and you will see if there are any nits or bugs. Do this for each section. Make sure you are scraping along the scalp with the comb   When you are done run the lice comb through all of the hair again (this time not in sections. You’re just passing back through to make sure you didn’t miss anything between sections). Hope I am explaining this ok. [/quote]

Agree with this. Lice are a pain, but this solution is pretty much foolproof. I've done it for actual lice about three times and for soooo many lice scares. [/quote]
