• Handle keeps fingers away from lice.

• Remove nits (eggs) by combing the hair using the nit comb provided.
• Make sure the hair remains slightly damp while combing out the nits (eggs).
• Combing will be easier if you apply Nix Gel to the dampened hair.
• If the hair dries during combing, damped it slightly with water or Nix Gel.
• Par the hair into four sections.
• Work on one section at at 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 (eggs).
• Clean the comb completely as you go.
• Wipe the nits (eggs) from the comb with a tissue and throw away the tissue in a sealed plastic bag to percent the lice from coming back.
• After combing, recheck the entire head for nits (eggs) and repeat combing if necessary.
• After repeated combing, remaining nits may be removed by hand (using a throw-away glove) or by cutting the nits out.
• Check the affected head daily to remove any nits (eggs) that you might have missed.
