Inspect

check each household member with a magnifying glass in bright light for lice/nits (eggs)

Treat

apply thoroughly to DRY HAIR or other affected area. For head lice, first apply behind ears and to back of neck.
allow product to remain for 10 minutes, but no longer
use warm water to form a lather, shampoo, then thoroughly rinse
for head lice, towel dry hair and comb out tangles

Remove lice and their eggs (nits)

se a fine-tooth or special lice/nit comb. Remove any remaining nits by hand (using a throw-away glove).
hair should remain slightly damp while removing nits
if hair dries during combing, dampen slightly with water
for head lice, part hair into sections. Do one section at a time starting on top of the head. Longer hair may take 1 to 2 hours.
lift a 1-to 2-inch wide strand of hair. Place comb as close to scalp as possible and comb with a firm, even motion away from scalp.
pin back each strand of hair after combing
clean comb often. Wipe nits away with tissue and discard in a plastic bag. Seal bag and discard to prevent lice from coming back.
after combing, thoroughly recheck for lice/nits. Repeat combing if necessary.
check daily for any lice/nits that you missed
a second treatment must be done in 7 to 10 days to kill any newly hatched lice
if infestation continues, see a doctor for other treatments
