Nix Lice Treatment

Nix^® Crème Rinse

Inspect

• All household members should be checked by another person for lice and/or nits (lice eggs).
• Use a magnifying glass in bright light to help you see the lice and nits (eggs).
• Use a tool, such as a comb or two unsharpened pencils to lift and part the hair.
• Look for tiny nits near the scalp, beginning at the back of the neck and behind the ears.
• Small sections of hair (1-2 inches wide) should be examined at a time.
• Unlike dandruff, nits stick to the hair. Dandruff should move when lightly touched.
• If either lice or nits (eggs) are found, treat with Nix Creme Rinse.

Treat

• Wash hair with a shampoo without conditioner. Do not use a shampoo that contains a conditioner or a conditioner alone since this may decrease the activity of Nix lice treatment. Rinse with water.
• Towel dry hair so it is damp but not wet.
• Shake the bottle of Nix Crème Rinse well before use.
• Completely saturate the hair and scalp with Nix Crème Rinse. Begin to apply Nix behind the ears and at the back of the neck.
• Keep Nix Crème Rinse out of the eyes. Protect the eyes with a washcloth or towel.
• Leave Nix Crème Rinse on the hair for 10 minutes, but no longer
• Rinse with warm water.
• Towel dry hair and comb out tangles.
• If live lice are seen seven days or more after the first treatment, a second lice treatment should be given to remove the lice completely.

Remove Lice / Nits

• Remove nits (lice eggs) by combing the hair with the special small tooth metal comb provided. Remaining nits may be removed by hand (using a throw-away glove), or cutting the nits out.
• Use the nit comb provided and make sure the hair remains slightly damp while removing nits.
• If the hair dries during combing, dampen it slightly with water to make the removal process easier.
• Part the hair into 4 sections. Work on one section at a time. Longer hair may take more time (1-2 hours).
• Start at the top of the head on the section you have picked.
• With one hand, lift a 1-2 inch wide strand of hair. Get the teeth of the comb as close to the scalp as possible and comb with a firm, even motion away from the scalp to the end of the hair.
• Use clips to pin back each strand of hair after you have combed out the nits
• Clean the comb completely as you go. Wipe the nits from the comb with a tissue and throw away the tissue in a sealed plastic bag to prevent the lice from coming back.
• After combing, recheck the entire head for nits and repeat combing if necessary.
• Check the affected head daily to remove any nits that you might have missed.
