What do head lice look like? Head lice are most common in children aged four to 11, are more common in girls than boys, and infestations are often seen at the start of the school year. Natural and herbal remedies include tea tree oil and green-tea shampoo as well as over-the-counter products like Puressentiel and Nitty Gritty. An old toothbrush or nail brush is useful for removing and cleaning the lice and eggs from the comb. Just make sure that nobody brushes their teeth with it afterwards! Another item which is very good for cleaning the comb is one of the little brushes that come with an electric razor. Some 69% of parents we surveyed in 2022 said they used a head lice solution, with medicated treatments from Boots, Superdrug, Full Marks, Hedrin, Nitwits and Lyclear all making the list.

Nitty Gritty Aromatherapy Head Lice Solution is a simple, no fuss solution to aid the detection and removal of head lice. It is made from a blend of essential oils, with no nasty ingredients! Yes, the Solution is fine on coloured treated hair as it doesn't contain chemicals. In fact, it makes the most wonderful conditioner leaving the hair in perfect condition. If you still have doubts, just do a "strand test".

Our amazing, award-winning Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb is unlike any other product on the market, our unique micro-spiral comb is the only head lice product which removes not only the smallest head lice as well as the nits – the empty egg cases – but also, most importantly, it even removes the unhatched 'live' head louse eggs, which are the main cause of any ongoing infestation.

Yes not only does the Nitty Gritty NitFree comb remove all the head lice, but it also clears the hair of ‘live’’ unhatched eggs as well as those unsightly empty shells.If you're considering switching to own-label alternatives to save money, try to l ook for these active ingredients typically found in popular branded versions: Chemical insecticides. These poison the lice or paralyse their nervous systems and various trials have shown they work. However, they can lead to louse resistance so shouldn't be used as a preventative measure - plus some smell horrible, like malathion (Derbac-M) which has a garlic aroma.

We believe it's the biggest advance in head lice treatments ever, and millions of 'NitFree' families in the UK wouldn't use anything else on their children's hair.

And recently a customer told us she had used dental floss to clean between the teeth when she had finished using the comb on the whole family. Nitwits and Hedrin were both cheapest at Superdrug, but the savings between retailers weren't as significant. In fact, these two brands stayed at similar prices across all available retailers during the three-month period. Is your child itching but there's no sign of head lice?
