This is the first time in my daughters 9 years of life she has gotten lice….I am horrified, especially since no told me that a person she was around had them in the first place. I used a reg . generic formula of nix or whatever last week , it is almost impossible to get all them nits and eggs out …so I knew the 7 day period was coming that the new eggs were gonna hatch i did some research to buy a buy a metal lice comb and came across your product..i called cvs they had a kit thank god we were up will midnight for the 4 hours period , i took cap off and she slept with cream , we washed out the hair this morning , and i combed with your comb anyway . and to my surprise like i thought the eggs must of hatched baby baby lice filled that comb. Im gonna wash her hair in am again and comb again , and then use the spray on her and hopefully can get extra spray at cvs. im also considering doing a treatment next week of the product to be sure im scared to death she going to get it again …im glad i found your product….
