Introduction
After professional lice treatment, simple aftercare steps help keep your family lice-free and confident.
Leave Treatment Product On
Leave the treatment product in the hair for at least two hours before washing with a mint-based shampoo and conditioner.
Notify Close Contacts
Inform your child’s school and close contacts. Lice spreads easily — communication helps stop the cycle.
Weekly Head Checks
Make head checks part of your weekly routine. Early detection prevents small issues from becoming major infestations.
Prevention Tips for Kids
- Keep long hair tied back
- Use mint-based shampoo 1–2 times per week
- Apply a mint-based leave-in spritz before school
- Comb with a lice comb once or twice weekly
Simple Home Care (No Over-Cleaning)
- Wash bedding and pajamas used recently
- Vacuum couches and car seats lightly
- Clean combs and brushes using hot water or soaking methods
Lice do not survive long off the scalp, so extreme cleaning is unnecessary.
Attend Your Follow-Up
Follow-up appointments are essential to confirm that no lice remain.
