How to Kill Head Lice by Combing
The Louse Comb is one of the most effective ways to kill head lice, as it removes the nits from the hair. Professional Louse Combs are fairly inexpensive. This is a chemical free solution, but is very time-intensive and must be done right; attention to detail is crucial.
Nits are especially small: 0.8mm by 0.3mm, which is about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. They are generally found tightly glued near the base of the hair shaft, close to the scalp.
Removing every single nit by combing is difficult at best, but there are well known techniques such as the strand-by-strand nit removal, taught by expert Katie Shepherd, that has a very high success rate.
Using a comb can be extremely tedious, time consuming and unpleasant. Most novice caregivers simply do not have the patience for compliance and effective treatment. Professional comb outs can take 2-3 hours and cost anywhere from $200 to $900. The LouseBuster dramatically improves this process.
