[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We used the Nuvo/Cetaphil method when DD got lice. It was faster than looking for nits and totally non-toxic. We used it for all three of us because mom and dad had lice, too. You don't have to find each egg, this method coats the adults and makes it so they can't breed, doing it multiple times kills all the adults that hatch from remaining eggs and eventually there are no more eggs and no adults capable of laying eggs. The blow drying is a pain, but much faster than looking for tiny eggs. We had success with this.

Cetaphil/Nuvo method

Apply Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser to dry hair, coating the head from scalp to hair tips
Wait 2 minutes
[b]Comb out excess Cetaphil and visible nits
[/b]Blow dry your child’s hair thoroughly
Leave the dry Cetaphil on the hair for at least 8 hours
Wash the hair with a regular shampoo
Repeat this process twice at 1 week intervals[/quote]

So, instead of combing for nits, you were.....combing for nits"?[/quote]

Nope, we just combed through the hair with a regular comb. No effort to remove eggs. [/quote]
