Follow these steps for effective removal of dead lice and nits:

• Use after treating lice and nits to detangle damp hair with wide-tooth side of comb
• Part damp hair into four sections and begin working on one section at a time
• Take one section, hold out and get teeth of smaller-tooth side of the comb as close as possible to the scalp and comb with a firm, even motion away from the scalp to the end of the hair
• Clean the comb frequently as you work on the hair by wiping the dead lice and nits from the comb with a tissue and discard in a plastic bag to prevent the lice from recurring
• Pin finished sections back to avoid recontamination from remaining nits
• After combing, recheck the entire head for nits and repeat combing if necessary
• Check the affected head daily to remove any nits you may have missed
