What to Expect When Getting a Head Lice Treatment at Jamie's Lice Angels

Before Lice Treatment
Check List

  • Do not use Vaseline
  • Do not use hair dye.
  • Do not use pesticide treatments (ex. Nix, Rid).
  • Do not use mayonnaise.
  • Do not use oil, olive oil, or any other oil-based home remedy.
  • If any at-home treatment was used then an apple cider rinse is required (See Bellow)
  • Shampoo and condition hair.

Apple Cider Rinse:

If you have used any type of over-the-counter methods to treat head lice on your own then we ask that you rinse your hair with a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 apple cider vinegar, followed by shampoo, conditioner and d-tangle. This helps to remove any residue that may be on the hair from other products that could reduce the effectiveness of the lice treatment you are going to receive at Jamie's Lice Angels.

What to Expect When Getting Treated

  • Head Check

    • We first start with a thorough head check to make sure that our client does in fact have head lice.

  • Treatment

    1. Spray

      We use a spray that is all-natural and pesticide free. We saturate the hair and allow it to sit for a little while. This loosens the glue that holds the lice egg (nits) to the hair shaft. The glue that holds the eggs to the hair is very strong. This is why most at-home treatments fail.

    2. Comb-out

      We then perform a comb-out process. This is how we remove the lice and eggs from the hair. We use a heavy-duty special comb not unlike the plastic combs that come in the over-the-counter product.

    3. Oil

      After the combing is completed, we then apply oil to the hair. The oil will kill any lice that could have eluded the comb-out process. Each client will be instructed to wash out the oil at home.

Follow-Up Care

All of our families are given the option to come back for a follow-up appointment. This appointment is a quick head check appointment. Most customers feel better knowing that they are lice-free and this is just for peace of mind.
